Support for extra libraries in APK in Android QT Creator -- Merge request

[frameworks at qlands.com]

 Hi,
 I have no problem with changing the name, nor with any changes in
its implementation. Any suggestions  and comments are welcomed.
 Cheers,
 Carlos.

	Hi,
 if additional libraries are to bundled with the main APK I'd vote
for
 calling them likes this: bundled libraries
 'Extra' just sounds so super generic that it could mean anything.
I'd
 like to point out that at the QCS people asked about out-of-the-box
 support for certain KDE libraries. Although we do not intend to work
on
 it now, it should be noted that for Ministro it does not matter what
 kind of libraries it loads. So if we consider the Qt stuff the core
then
 everything else (like KDE libs) is 'extra'. As such using that term
for
 custom bundled libraries does not seem wise to me.

 Robert

	Dear Bogdan,
 I just send a merge request for the changes in creator that add
support 
 for extra libraries in the APK. Here are the details:
 Add in support for extra libraries.
 This merge request mainly focuses on the modification to Android QT 
 Creator to include support for extra deploy libraries in the APK. As

 described in the modified UI, “Extra libraries are other libraries
that 
 are required by this application but not part of this project.”
 The changes in Creator does not automatically affect current
Necessitas 
 projects. If the user want to include an extra library Creator will
ask 
 to upgrade it project to support it. The process of upgrading will:
 1. Check if its possible. Users will be able to upgrade if their
version 
 of Android LightHouse supports extra libraries i.e., if the version
of 
 libs.xml in LightHouse has the array name extra_libs.
 2. Upgrade the project's ibs.xml to add the array name extra_libs.
 3. Upgrade the projects manifest to include the resource of
extra_libs.
 4. Copy the class files from LightHouse to the project (Industrius
and 
 mobile). This because the version in LightHouse has the
modifications to 
 load the extra libraries. All files are copied to be sure that
previous 
 class files in the project does not conflict with current class
files.
 5. Leave a backup of libs.xml, class files and the manifest in the 
 project directory. Those files will include “._old” in their
extension
 This set of changes also fixes two bugs in Creator:
 1- Checked bundled libraries get unchecked just before the APK is
build. 
 (Line 133 in androidpackage creationstep.cpp)
 2- Bundled libraries have the format libMyLib.so when it should be
the 
 undecorated version of them e.g., Mylib (Line 904 in
qt4androidtarget.cpp)
 This merge request also comes with a merge of few changes in 
 qlands-AndroidLighthouse to support extra libraries in the apk.
 Regards,
 Carlos Quiros
 PD
 I am also working on assets support in Creator and the necessary
changes 
 in QT using JNI. I could send you something very soon if you fancy.
