Android qml imports

lopeztel

I have the following in my main.qml file :

import QtQuick 2.12
import QtQuick.Controls 2.5
import QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard 2.4 //comment for Android
import MqttClient 1.0
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.1
import QtCharts 2.3
import QtQuick.Controls.Material 2.3

And I know it is possible to use macros for the C++ code, is it possible to do something like this?

import QtQuick 2.12
import QtQuick.Controls 2.5
#ifdef Q_OS_ANDROID
import QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard 2.4 //comment for Android
#endif
import MqttClient 1.0
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.1
import QtCharts 2.3
import QtQuick.Controls.Material 2.3

My solution so far is deleting this part of the code every time I build but something tells me there must be a more elegant solution

There are no ifdefs and no preprocessor in QML. You can create 2 versions of this file and load them based on platform - you can use QFileSelector for that, there is a built-in support for this in QML: see the docs.

Additionale to what @sierdzio said, I always suggest moving the platform specific part into its own file and load it via a loader and only set the loader to active when Qt.platform.os !== "android"

@sierdzio Thanks, this is exactly what I needed! Ended up doing:

#if defined(Q_OS_ANDROID)
    const QUrl url(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main_android.qml"));
    #elif defined (Q_OS_LINUX)
    const QUrl url(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main_linux.qml"));
    #endif

in my main.cpp
