[Reg 5.15 -> 6.2] Relative QML import does not work from Android assets

XMLWordPrintable

    • Android
    • f5514e682b (qt/qtdeclarative/dev) 58d7d8bd82 (qt/qtdeclarative/6.3) 58d7d8bd82 (qt/tqtc-qtdeclarative/6.3) dc25d739b6 (qt/tqtc-qtdeclarative/6.2)

      Relative QML import does not work when deploying and loading QML via an android asset URL. ie. QML files are deployed to the android-build/assets folder and loaded via assets:/ URL.

      Cmake:

      file(GLOB_RECURSE QmlFolder RELATIVE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} qml/*.qml)
install(FILES ${QmlFolder} DESTINATION "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/android-build/assets")

      main.cpp:

      #include <QGuiApplication>
#include <QQmlApplicationEngine>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
  QQmlApplicationEngine engine;

  engine.load("assets:/qml/main.qml");
  return app.exec();
}

      qml/main.qml:

      import QtQuick

import "pages"

Window {
  visible: true

  MainPage { }
}

      qml/pages/MainPage.qml:

      import QtQuick

Rectangle {
  color: "white"
  anchors.fill: parent

  Text {
    text: "Qt 6"
  }

  Image {
    source: "../../images/logo.png"
  }
}

      Gives the error message:

      file:assets:/qml/main.qml:3:1: import "pages" has no qmldir and no namespace

      This worked with Qt 5.

      Note: when switching the import statement to:

      import "assets:/qml/pages"

      It works like expected.

      Note how the URL starts with assets:/ here and not file:assets:/. Maybe that is the source of the problem?

      The relative lookup of the image placed in assets/images/logo.png also works fine.

      The use case here is to directly deploy the QML files in the android assets instead of in QRC resources during development.
