To set up the development environment for Android: Install or update the essential packages such as NDKs, build tools, and platform tools.Download and extract the Android SDK Command-line Tools.Qt Creator offers to automatically install all the necessary packages and tools and to set up your development environment by creating debuggers, tool chains, and kits. For more information, see Manually Installing the Prerequisites. To use Qt Creator to develop Qt applications for Android, you need Qt for Android 5.2, or later, and the tool chain that Qt Creator can automatically download, install, and configure for you. It includes a client and server that run on the development host and a daemon that runs on the emulator or device. The Android Debug Bridge (adb) command line tool is integrated to Qt Creator to enable you to deploy applications to connected Android devices, to run them, and to read their logs. To enable helpful code editing features for Java, such as code completion, highlighting, function tooltips, and navigating in code, add a Java language server. Starting from Qt 5.14.0, the Qt for Android package contains all the architectures (ABIs) installed as one. Qt Creator can automatically dowload and install the tool chain and create a suitable build and run kit that contains the tool chain and the Qt version for Android for the device's architecture. To develop for Android, you must have a tool chain for building applications for Android devices installed on the development PC. Devices with Android version 4.1 (API level 16) or later are supported when developing with Qt 5 and devices with Android version 6.0 (API level 23) when developing with Qt 6. You can connect Android devices to the development PC using USB cables to build, run, debug, and analyze applications from Qt Creator.
