Using a QML extension plugin on device

[janaja]

Hi Guys I have been following this example to install a QML extension plugin
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...-in_in_Symbian

The plugin has been installed successfully to the following location:
c:\sys\bin\testQMLPluginDep.dll
and its stub to:
c:\resource\qt\imports\testQMLPluginDep.qtplugin

Now to use it in a QML file, I tried the following lines in the qmldir file which all resulted in the qml file to fail to launch because MyItem is undefined:

plugin testQMLPluginDep
plugin testQMLPluginDep c:/sys/bin
plugin testQMLPluginDep c:\sys\bin
plugin testQMLPluginDep c:\\sys\\bin
plugin testQMLPluginDep c:\resource\qt\imports\
plugin testQMLPluginDep c:\\resource\\qt\\imports
plugin testQMLPluginDep c:/resource/qt/imports

I also copied the stub file to the same folder containing the QML file using it.

The folder of the QML files is on the memory card.

Question-1
What is the correct path to use in qmldir to refer to my plugin ? given that my plugin and its stub reside in the following folders:
c:\sys\bin\testQMLPluginDep.dll
c:\resource\qt\imports\testQMLPluginDep.qtplugin

Question-2
my plugin has no capability , could this be the problem ? and if yes, what is the basic capability for a QML extension plugin (mine just registers a type that draws a rect) ?

First thanks for trying to answer.
Next time can I ask you to at least bother yourself to read the question before answering ?
The link you suggested is mentioned in my question (second line)
Let me recap:

1) Plugin is successful installed to the following locations
c:\sys\bin\testQMLPluginDep.dll
c:\resource\qt\imports\testQMLPluginDep.qtplugin

2) plugin testQMLPluginDep in qmldir file is not working

3) also tied to copy the stub file to the same folder of qmldir file

Note I haven't assigned any capabilities to my plugin

It should be enough if you have only "plugin testQMLPluginDep" in your qmldir file.

Could the problem be a missing Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2, QML_DECLARE_TYPE or qmlRegisterType? I've attached a simple test plugin (Circle element) that I created and which seems to work fine, perhaps you can check if there are some differencies in your implementation.

CircleItem.zip

Here's also a small test application for the plugin:

import Qt 4.7
import com.nokia.Circle 1.0

Rectangle {
    width: 360
    height: 360
    CircleItem {
        color: "lightblue"
        anchors.fill: parent
    }

    MouseArea {
        anchors.fill: parent
        onClicked: {
            Qt.quit();
        }
    }
}

Thanks Late and Seikeau
I found the problem in my code it has to do with the way I was writing the import sentence.
