Adding all the layers in a KML file in PyQGIS

Question

I've a KML file that contains several layers, if I use the usual method of adding vector layers from a file it only adds the first layer (the Point layer)

vlayer = QgsVectorLayer("C:\Users\HOME\Desktop\Test.kml", "Test", "ogr")

QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().addMapLayer(vlayer)

How to add all the layers in this file?

Answer 1

To load a single kml:

fileName = "C:\Users\fran\Downloads\kml\KML_Samples.kml"
layer = QgsVectorLayer(fileName,"test","ogr")
subLayers =layer.dataProvider().subLayers()

for subLayer in subLayers:
    name = subLayer.split('!!::!!')[1]
    uri = "%s|layername=%s" % (fileName, name,)
    #Create layer
    sub_vlayer = QgsVectorLayer(uri, name, 'ogr')
    #Add layer to map
    QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(sub_vlayer)

To load a folder with kml:

import os

path = r'C:\Users\fran\Downloads\kml'
for r, d, f in os.walk(path):
    for file in f:
        if '.kml' in file:
            fileName = os.path.join(r, file)
            layer = QgsVectorLayer(fileName,"test","ogr")
            subLayers =layer.dataProvider().subLayers()

            for subLayer in subLayers:
                name = subLayer.split('!!::!!')[1]
                uri = "%s|layername=%s" % (fileName, name,)
                #Create layer
                sub_vlayer = QgsVectorLayer(uri, name, 'ogr')
                #Add layer to map
                QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(sub_vlayer)

Tested on QGIS 3.6

Answer 2

I followed the same steps explained in this question about GML .gz files and it worked.

iface.addVectorLayer on a gml file causes "Select vector layers to add" dialog (pyqgis)

1- Open one of the layers

2- Get its full URL iface.activeLayer().dataProvider().dataSourceUri()

3- Iterate through them
