\title QT_ANDROID_DEPLOYMENT_DEPENDENCIES
\target cmake-target-property-QT_ANDROID_DEPLOYMENT_DEPENDENCIES

\brief Overrides the Qt dependencies added to the target's deployment.

\preliminarycmakeproperty
\cmakepropertyandroidonly

By default, \l androiddeployqt will detect the dependencies of your
application. However, since run-time usage of plugins cannot be detected,
there could be false positives, as your application might depend on any
plugin that is a potential dependency. If you want to minimize the size of
your \c APK, it's possible to override the automatic detection using this
property. This should contain a list of all Qt files which need to be
included, with paths relative to the Qt install root.

\note Only the Qt files specified with this variable are included. Failing
to include all the correct files can result in crashes. It's also important
to make sure the files are listed in the correct loading order. This variable
provides a way to override the automatic detection entirely, so if a library
is listed before its dependencies, it will fail to load on some devices.

\brief Extra libraries to deploy with the target.

\preliminarycmakeproperty

A list of external libraries that will be copied into your application's
\c libs folder and loaded on start-up. This can be used, for instance,
to enable OpenSSL in your application. For more information, see
\l{Adding OpenSSL Support for Android}.

\title QT_ANDROID_EXTRA_PLUGINS
\target cmake-target-property-QT_ANDROID_EXTRA_PLUGINS

\brief Extra Qt plugins to deploy with the target.

\preliminarycmakeproperty
\cmakepropertyandroidonly

Specifies a path to C++ plugins or resources that your application has to bundle
but that cannot be delivered through the assets system, such as QML plugins.
With this variable, \l androiddeployqt will make sure everything is packaged
and deployed properly.

\c QT_ANDROID_EXTRA_PLUGINS must point to the directory where the extra plugin(s)
are built. In addition, the build directory structure must follow a naming
convention similar to Qt plugins, that is, \e {plugins/<plugin name>}.
\c QT_ANDROID_EXTRA_PLUGINS should point to the \e {plugins} part of that path.

The plugins libraries should have the name format
\e {libplugins_<type>_<name>_<abi>.so}. This will ensure that the correct name
mangling is applied to the plugin library.

TODO: Not yet documented, API still under review - see QTBUG-88763

that.

\title QT_ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR
\target cmake-target-property-QT_ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR

\brief Path to a custom Android package template.

\preliminarycmakeproperty
\cmakepropertyandroidonly

Specifies the path for a custom Android package template. The Android package
template contains:
\list
    \li AndroidManifest.xml file
    \li build.gradle file and other Gradle scripts
    \li res/values/libs.xml file
\endlist

The path specified by this variable can contain custom Java classes under
\c src directory. By default, the \l androiddeployqt tool copies the
application template from the Qt for Android installation path into your
project's build directory, then it copies the contents of the path specified
by this variable on top of that, overwriting any existing files. For
instance, you can make a custom \c {AndroidManifest.xml} for your application,
then place this directly into the directory specified by this variable.

\brief Specifies to inhibit linking against Qt's entrypoint lib.

\preliminarycmakeproperty

On certain platforms, Qt applications link against Qt's entrypoint lib by default.
That library provides implementations of main (or WinMain).

On targets that must provide their own entry point, set the property \c qt_no_entrypoint to inhibit linking against Qt's entrypoint library.
