\note Qt for Android support is inclusive of \b{but not limited to} these devices.
\note The above table is accurate at the time of this Qt patch release only.
It may change during the patch release cycle and should only be used as a
reference for what the Qt Company can rapidly reproduce bugs on.
To learn about developing with Qt for Android, here are the main topics
to check:
\list
\li \l {Getting Started with Qt for Android}
\li \l {Deploying an Application on Android}
\li \l {How Qt for Android Works}
\li \l {Qt for Android - Building from Source}{Building Qt for Android from Source}
\li \l {Building Qt for Android Projects from Command Line}
\li \l {The androiddeployqt Tool}
\li \l {Qt Android Manifest File Configuration}
\endlist
The following topics also provide more details about Qt for Android:
\annotatedlist android-platform-extra-topics
Qt's vibrant and active \l{https://www.qt.io/developers}{community site}
houses a wiki, a forum, and additional learning guides and presentations.

\section1 Where to Go from Here
We invite you to explore the rest of Qt. We prepared overviews which help
you decide which APIs to use and our examples demonstrate how to use our
APIs.

\title Getting Started with Qt for Android
\brief Provides instructions to install and configure your development environment.
\previouspage android.html
\nextpage android-how-it-works.html
The video below is a beginner's guide to using the Qt for Android toolchain,
including the Qt Creator IDE, to get you started developing Android apps.
\youtube 5OiIqFTjUZI
The rest of this page has more detailed getting started information.
To download and install Qt for Android, follow the instructions on the
\l{Getting Started with Qt} page.
\section1 Android Development Prerequisites
In order to develop with \l{Qt for Android}, you will need the following
prerequisites:
\list
\li \l {Java Development Kit (JDK)}
\li \l {Android: Android command line tools}{Android Command Line Tools}
which includes:
\list
\li \l{Android: The Android NDK}{Android NDK}: for building C++ code.
\li \l{Android: Android SDK Platforms}{Android SDK Platform} and
\l{Android: Android SDK Build Tools}{Android SDK Build Tools}: for building
Android apps for specific API version.
\li \l{Android: Android SDK Platform Tools}{Android SDK Platform Tools}:
for deploying and managing Android dependencies.
\endlist
\endlist
The easiest way to manage these dependencies is by using Qt Creator's built in
Android development setup. For more information, see
\l{Qt Creator: Specifying Android Device Settings}.
\section2 Manually Installing the Prerequisites
If you prefer to manually install the prerequisites please follow
these next steps.
\section3 Java Development Kit (JDK)
Qt for Android development requires JDK \JdkVer or above, provided by any of the
following supported distributions:
\list
\li \l{Adoptium}
\li \l{OpenJDK}
\li \l{Java SE Development Kit}
\endlist
Install your preferred JDK. If your installer doesn't set the
\c JAVA_HOME environment variable that points to the location of
the installed JDK, you can set it manually. For example on Linux:
\badcode \JdkVer
sudo apt-get install openjdk-\1-jdk
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-\1-openjdk-amd64
\endcode
Or on \macOS:
\badcode \JdkVer
brew install openjdk@\1
sudo ln -sfn "$(brew --prefix openjdk@\1)/libexec/openjdk.jdk" \
"/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-\1.jdk"
export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v \1)"
\endcode
\section3 Android SDK Command Line Tools
Download the latest version of the
\l{Android: Android command line tools}{Android SDK Command Line Tools}
for your operating system and extract it to the appropriate path as stated below.
//! [Android SDK Paths]
The Android SDK is commonly installed by Qt Creator or Android Studio
in the following locations:
\list
\li Linux: ~/Android/Sdk/
\li \macos: ~/Library/Android/sdk/
\li Windows: C:\\Users\\<USER>\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk\\
\endlist
//! [Android SDK Paths]
Or use your OS's package manager, for example for \macOS:
\badcode
brew install android-commandlinetool
\endcode
\section3 Android SDK Mandatory Packages
Make sure to install the SDK Platform, Platform Tools, and Build Tools.
For Qt \QtVer, use:
\badcode \AndroidPlatformVer \AndroidBuildToolsVer
sdkmanager "platform-tools" "platforms;android-\1" "build-tools;\2"
\endcode
\section3 Android NDK
Qt \QtVer uses NDK \NdkFullVer, you can install it by running:
\badcode \NdkFullVer
sdkmanager "ndk;\1"
\endcode
For example for \macOS:
\section3 Emulator
If you wish to use the \l{Android: Android Emulator}{Android Emulator},
you can install it by running:
\badcode
sdkmanager "emulator" "patcher;v4"
\endcode
\section3 Platform Specific Configurations
\section4 Windows
The default USB driver on Windows does not allow debugging using
Android Debug Bridge (ADB) tool. You must install the additional USB driver
provided by the \e extras Android SDK package. Install it by running the following:
\badcode
sdkmanager.bat "extras;google;usb_driver"
\endcode
\section4 Linux
The following dependencies are needed for using tools such as \c adb or \c gdb which
can be used by Qt Creator:
\badcode
sudo apt-get install libstdc++6 libncurses5
\endcode
\target emulator dependencies
To run the Android emulator, the following dependencies are also necessary:
\section3 Testing the Setup
Now you can test your development setup by running the examples shipped with the
Qt installation. For more information, see
\l[Qt Examples And Tutorials]{Mobile}{Mobile Examples}.
To develop a simple application from scratch, see
\l {Qt Creator: Creating a Mobile Application}.
