Ok, but am I supposed to put these defs and all other related defs in my 
own project? There is no such module in <qt> unless you pick them 
directly from qt sources (as you said it's private). I've already done 
that bad thing to build my own QAndroidStyle and the only thing I want 
is to get rid of it in 5.4;).

IMO it would be much simpler to be able to call something similar to:

activity.callMethod<void>("openOptionsMenu","()V");

I will give a try at qpa anyway...
