Qt Gradle Plugin 1.3 is released! (original) (raw)
Qt Gradle Plugin 1.3 (QtGP) is now "out in the fields"! Used by Qt Tools for Android Studio and Qt Quick for Android projects like the API examples. It's ready to integrate via Maven Central like any Gradle plugin. If you missed version 1.2, check out the previous blog post. If you missed the 1.2 release, we recommend reading the QtGP 1.2 blog post to catch up. Now, let’s dive into what’s new in 1.3!
Updates
Support for multi-project structure
In earlier versions, configuration was done in the QtBuild section of the app’s build.gradle. With version 1.3, you can now configure via gradle.properties, making it easier to support multi-project Gradle builds. All new properties start with qt. The old QtBuild section is still supported but deprecated and will be removed in upcoming major version, earliest on 2.0. See the table below for old vs. new syntax, and check the Qt Gradle Plugin docs for more details!
| Qt.Build section | gradle.properties |
|---|---|
| qtPath | qt.path |
| qtProjectPath | qt.projectPath |
| qtKitDir | qt.abiPath |
| qtNinjaPath | qt.ninjaPath |
| qtExtraCMakeArguments | qt.extraCMakeArguments |
Instructions to use product flavors
If your project uses product flavors, the Qt Gradle plugin now includes guidance on how to configure any flavor you prefer.
Small improvements
Local builds no longer require signing, and the Qt Gradle plugin now prints its version at the start of the build—making it easy to spot in logs! Publishing to Maven Central is done with nmcp, now updated to version 0.1.4
