Found this thread with people discussing the same as you are trying to do, but afraid there's no solution to it as evident from it :

http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/10704

Some say to keep most of your important logic in C++ code so even if your qml is visible then its of no use to anyone.

I tried to add the qml files to .qrc(resource files) but still they are visible

Tweetian by dickson.. He was able to hide the qml files

It is open source now
https://github.com/dicksonleong/Tweetian
http://dickson-dev.blogspot.in/
Try the above source file
After deploying the source file there are no more QML files in .sis file. I don't how he has done that.

Thank you very much bro.. Is there any thanks button on this forum i want to hit +10 for u

Also do you have the .pro file looking exactly like the Tweetian project's .pro file(especially the qrc thing).May be scan the whole project again & properly , you might be missing something.

Found another thread, see this also : http://www.parussoft.com/DevBlog/201...resource-file/

This link says :
People add qml files to resource file for protection. The resource file (.qrc) is compiled by the building system to binary file.

So i think your .qrc file is not getting compiled to a binary file

Ya i saw that link..
- added .qrc
- commented .qml folders
but if i add this "viewer.rootContext()->setContextProperty("installPath", "file:///" + QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() + "/"); "getting error


I have sent mail to the dickson

Thanks for the reply

I have done all except this
I could not find this QmlApplicationViewer::setMainQmlFile().

and
if i comment those folders QML files in the project is diaappearing.
I attached
- two images with and without commenting the folders
- image of .qrc
- image of main.cpp

After you added all the files to qrc, you also need to comment out some line in your project file. If you are using the template project file, you need toe comment out the first few line, it look something like:

    folder_01.source = qml/myapp
    folder_01.target = qml
    DEPLOYMENTFOLDERS = folder_01

Just remove/comment the few line. You also need to use QDeclarativeView::setSource() instead of QmlApplicationViewer::setMainQmlFile()

    Hi bro,

                  I saw your tweetian source code and learned that it doesn't create qml files after deploying .sis file . But i have made a small application which contains main.qml, MainPage.qml they are visible in .sis after deploying. I used .qrc file with main.qml , MainPage.qml paths. But still they are visible in .sis file. Do i need to change any code regarding this.

    Hope u understood. I just want to hide all the qml files as they contains source code.
    Please help me bro. Can u send me the .qrc file for main.qml , MainPage.qml paths

    Thank you very much.

And How to attach the images to this thread

[mahindar_275]

Yahoooo..

Dickson replied with solution. modify main.cpp as below

//viewer.setMainQmlFile(QLatin1String("qml/Mycalc/main.qml"));
viewer.setSource(QUrl("qrc:/qml/Mycalc/main.qml"));

Any way the complete procedure is like this.
1.Add the paths of the qml files to .qrc
2.Remove or Comment out these files from .pro

         #folder_01.source = qml/Mycalc
         #folder_01.target = qml
         #DEPLOYMENTFOLDERS = folder_01

3. I main.cpp

          //viewer.setMainQmlFile(QLatin1String("qml/Mycalc/main.qml"));
          viewer.setSource(QUrl("qrc:/qml/Mycalc/main.qml"));

Bro big thanks for ur fast replies and your valuable time

Thumbs up! Thanks for this. I also got it working.

I have one problem with this method. I can not get any Audio to work!
All my other resources, images, files etc. load fine but the "Audio" element will not load an play audio.
Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks.

[vineet.jain]

If some threads to believed then it is not possible to play audio using loaded from resource file: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...from-Resources

Thanks for the reference, a nice workaround is provided.

How did you guys get it work ?.I already put all my qml file in resouurce.The deploment folder and qml folder in pro. files also commented out but why the qml is not compiled into sis.I can create a sis files but qml files is not included so when i install and open the app,it just blank screen.The sis file size also reduced by 1 1/2 so i guess the qml file is not getting compiled.

pro.

# Add more folders to ship with the application, here
#folder_01.source = qml/XXXXX
#folder_01.target = qml
folder_02.source = qml/XXXXX
folder_02.target = qml
DEPLOYMENTFOLDERS = folder_02 #folder_01

Main.cpp

QApplication app(argc, argv);
     app.setApplicationName("xxxxxxxxx");

     QDeclarativeView view;
     //QDeclarativeContext *context = view.rootContext();

     qmlRegisterType<xxxxxxxxr>("xxxxxxxx", 1, 0, "xxxxxxxxxx");
     qmlRegisterType<xxxxxx>("xxxxxx", 1, 0, "Shake");

     view.setSource(QUrl("qrc:/qml/XXXXX/start.qml"));

     view.window()->show();

     QObject::connect(view.engine(), SIGNAL(quit()), &view, SLOT(close()));

     return app.exec();

Does start.qml open other files? You also have to use QT.resolvedUrl("") in QML to access *any* file stored in the resource file including qml files, images or otherwise.
I think that the file size should shrink because the QML files will be compressed in the .sis file.

As long as you have a .qrc file, have added your files to that .qrc and have the resource in your .pro then those files should be packaged into the .sis and accessible
RESOURCES += \
qml/xxxxxxx/xxx.qrc

[babylongreece]

"start.qml" is actually a "main.qml".Does "Qt.resolveUrl" necessary since i have only one main qml and another one qml files only to handle all the function and the app ui ?.How about image since i did not put it in resource..Just qml files in resource.

If the image is not in the resource then it needs to be in an included folder in the .pro
I found images worked okay in the resource.
I haven't got far enough to try having a mixed environment where I included some stuff in a folder and put the qml files in the resource but I do know that putting everything in the resource works (except for audio as mentioned below).
