[Interest] ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR IS EVIL [was: How to create a library with Android java source]

[Gianluca]

Hello Ben,
thank you very much for your support.

I found the problem. The evil parameter is ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR that in some way block any include .pri to install stuff into android-build … but does not block any install command at the same “level” of where ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR is defined.
That’s a very weird behavior I cannot understand who cause it.

ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR can be easily replaced by an INSTALL command like that:

	ANDROID_SOURCES.path = /
	ANDROID_SOURCES.files = $$files($$PWD/BundleData/Android/*)

INSTALLS += ANDROID_SOURCES

And the behavior is more consistent and does not conflicts with INSTALLS defined into included .pri

I proposed to remove ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR in future qmake release if it’s really redundant and may cause problem.

Thanks,
Gianluca.
