[Interest] Qt 5.3.0 QML Android: how to deploy custom c++ plugin directory structure

[Frédéric Martinsons]

Hello, for those who are interested, I finally managed to get deploy my
custom c++ plugin without any modifications on resources files. I simply
re-read the documentation carefully (
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/deployment-android.html) and especially the
paragraph about res/vaues/libs.xml. So my source tree is like the
following:
MyProject/
       android/
           AndroidManifest.xml
           assets/
               qmldir
           res/
               values/
                   libs.xml
       MyBinary/
       MyPlugin/
            libMyPlugin.so
            qmldir

I simply override part of libs.xml with the following line and use "Bundle
Qt libraries in APK" option in Qt Creator deployment configuration:

   <array name="bundled_in_lib">
      <item>libMyPlugin.so:qml/MyPlugin/libMyPlugin.so</item>
        <!-- %%INSERT_BUNDLED_IN_LIB%% -->
    </array>
    <array name="bundled_in_assets">
      <item>qmldir:qml/MyPlugins/qmldir</item>
        <!-- %%INSERT_BUNDLED_IN_ASSETS%% -->
    </array>

With these I'v got the right directory structure after the first launch on
device in  "/data/data/com.company.app/qt-reserved-files/lib/qml" and in my
main.qml the "import MyPlugin" directive is finally resolved.

Great !

Thank you for your answers.
