yes, i'm using QSettings

void Settings::read_settings()

{

    QString name = qApp->applicationDirPath() + QDir::separator() + settingFile;

    QSettings setting_file(name, QSettings::IniFormat);
    ...........
}

void Settings::write_settings()
{
    QString name = qApp->applicationDirPath() + QDir::separator() + settingFile;
    QSettings setting_file(name, QSettings::IniFormat);
    if (setting_file.isWritable())
    {
    ............
    }
}

but as i know there is no

applicationDirPath

in Android

Use just
QSettings setting_file;

[Dmitriy Makarov]

it works that way:

void Settings::read_settings()

{

#ifdef Q_OS_WIN32

    QString name = qApp->applicationDirPath() + QDir::separator() + settingFile;

#endif
#ifdef Q_OS_ANDROID
    QString name = "assets:/" + settingFile;
#endif

    QSettings setting_file(name, QSettings::IniFormat);
    ...........
}

void Settings::write_settings()
{

#ifdef Q_OS_WIN32

    QString name = qApp->applicationDirPath() + QDir::separator() + settingFile;

#endif
#ifdef Q_OS_ANDROID
    QString name = "assets:/" + settingFile;
#endif

assets are read-only resources ! so I do not suggest you to use them.
