Show image from assets in QML

[m_andrej]

Hi,
I'm bundling a lot of *.jpg images in my application as Android assets, as described in http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/platform-notes-android.html
How can I show the images in QML Image element? The above page states that I should be able to access them by prefixing the file with assets:/. This works in C++, but not in QML.
I tried code like this in various variants:

Image {
	anchors.fill: parent
	source: "file://assets:/be_01.jpg"
	fillMode: Image.PreserveAspectCrop
	asynchronous: true
}

Unfortunately I can't use resource system for the images because they have around 100 MB in size.

EDIT: I also tried to add this C++ code to find out absolute path of the file:

QFile dbFile("assets:/be_01.jpg");
qDebug() << dbFile.exists();
QFileInfo info(dbFile);
qDebug() << info.absoluteFilePath();

This just prints true, "assets:/be_01.jpg".

Hi,

Do you mean that source: "assets:/be_01.jpg" doesn't work ?

Yes, it doesn't work either.

From what I found so far it seems that this can't be done :-( So I'm copying the files to current directory after application start.
