[Development] Playground request: QML for Android

[Nurmi J-P]

Things were running fine with Qt 5.5 back in December, so there shouldn’t be any hard dependencies to Qt 5.6. It’s just that now that I tested things before publishing the source code, I had to sync some gradle build scripts from the latest qtbase/dev to get the example up and running. I’ll test with older Qt builds and update the README accordingly.

As you know, some of the cool stuff comes from the Android support libraries. I really wanted to have a navigation drawer & the animating hamburger icon in the hackathon demo, and the only way I was able to get it working was with those custom gradle scripts. This is not a polished product, and there are plenty of silly shortcuts like this. :)
