    221221But we need to get Python 3 & !PyOtherSide on the android device our self. For now we will just copy the files to a fixed location on the device with ''adb'' and hardcode a path pointing to them in the example application. This should be enough for getting a proof of concept of (hopefully) working !PyOtherSide on Android.

    223 In the future it should be possible deploy these files from the APK without a need for manual intervention - either by using the new asset mechanism or the old method (used by the !PySide for Android port) of bundling zip files that are unpacked on first start by modified Java boilerplate.

    258 Now open the project in the !QtCreator provided by the Qt for Android SDK, configure device deployment and press the ''deploy'' button. !QtCreator should do its thing and the application should successfully start on the device. Now look on the main.qml file in !QtCreator and note that while it has the {{{import io.thp.pyotherside 1.0}}} line, the {{{Python {} }}} line that actually instantiates the Python element provided by !PyOtherSide is commented out.
