The Text Properties is blank on Android when using nightly builds. It works fine when using local build of Krita apk. The nightly build has the following debug messages: 08-07 14:20:28.484 6935 6959 W krita : qrc:/TextProperties.qml:8:1: module "QtQuick.Layouts" is not installed 08-07 14:20:28.484 6935 6959 W krita : import QtQuick.Layouts 1.12 08-07 14:20:28.484 6935 6959 W krita : ^ 08-07 14:20:28.484 6935 6959 W krita : qrc:/TextProperties.qml:7:1: module "QtQuick.Controls" is not installed 08-07 14:20:28.484 6935 6959 W krita : import QtQuick.Controls 2.5 08-07 14:20:28.484 6935 6959 W krita : ^ 08-07 14:20:28.484 6935 6959 W krita : qrc:/TextProperties.qml:8:1: module "QtQuick.Layouts" is not installed 08-07 14:20:28.484 6935 6959 W krita : import QtQuick.Layouts 1.12 08-07 14:20:28.484 6935 6959 W krita : ^ 08-07 14:20:28.484 6935 6959 W krita : qrc:/TextProperties.qml:7:1: module "QtQuick.Controls" is not installed 08-07 14:20:28.484 6935 6959 W krita : import QtQuick.Controls 2.5 08-07 14:20:28.484 6935 6959 W krita : ^ Local build doesn't have them. The possible cause is that the nightly build first builds "debug" build, then cleans it, then builds a "release" build. It might be that the clean stage removes the necessary libraries...
QML isn't being packaged. The .so files that go in /lib and the .qml and other files that go in /assets/qml are missing. Running androiddeployqt with --verbose, like > $SRCDIR/_install/bin/androiddeployqt --input $SRCDIR/_build/krita-deployment.json --output $SRCDIR/_build/krita_build_apk/ --android-platform android-34 --gradle --verbose shows > Running qmlimportscanner with the following command: /krita/_install/bin/qmlimportscanner -rootPath /krita/ -importPath /krita/_install/qml /krita/ /krita/_build/lib > -- Adding '/krita/_install/qml/QtQuick.2' as QML dependency > -- Skipping because path is in QML root path. [... long list of QML dependencies being skipped] qml-root-path is defined in _build/krita-deployment.json, which is generated by ECM, which hardcodes this value to the source folder (https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/extra-cmake-modules/-/blob/v5.101.0/toolchain/deployment-file-qt514.json.in?ref_type=tags). Modifying this path to "[source]/plugins" (where Krita's own qml files are located) produces an APK with a working Text Properties docker. So patching ECM to make qml-root-path customizable would be one possible solution, though there may be a better way.
