Qt Creator has no access to android sdk

osmosm · wrote on 23 Jan 2015, 07:28

Hi,

I´m using Qt 5.4.0 for Android on my Windows 7 (64 bit)development PC.
For some reason Qt Creator is not able to access the properly installed android sdk.
I almost tried everything to get it back work. Uninstalling and reinstalling Java, android sdk, android ndk and apache ant.
I am able to add android sdk platforms with SDK Manager.exe.
I am able to make avd´s from installed android sdk platforms with AVD Manager.exe.
In Qt Creator->Extras->Settings->Android->"Add AVD" I get a error "no AVD could be created for there is no actual android-sdk available. Please install a android-sdk of API version 0 or newer"
Also I am not able to choose a android-sdk when for building android APK in Kit "Android for armeabi-v7a"

Any ideas ?
I am really desperated !!!

My installed versions:
Java jdk: jdk-8u25-windows-x64.exe
android sdk: installer_r24.0.2-windows.exe
android ndk: android-ndk-r10d-windows-x86_64.exe
ant: apache-ant-1.9.4-bin.zip
Qt: qt-opensource-windows-x86-android-5.4.0.exe

maybe a stupid question, but did you add the android SDK and NDK paths to QtCreator?
Tools ->Options -> Android

Thank you for the hint.

Yes, I defined all the paths to the component folders.
But it still doesn´t work.

One more information:

I get following message in Qt Creator in tab "common output":
"The system cannot locate the defined path"
"Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden"

Hi,

IIRC, google broke something with the r10 ndk, they moved files around so they can't be find properly currently. r9 should work without any problem

osmosm · wrote on 26 Jan 2015, 07:25

I tried ndk r9b without success.

What makes me surprise, I succeeded to install the components above on another PC at home, and it´s running well.

It seems, there are some old paths stored somewhere, so I cannot use Qt for Android on my first PC system anymore.

Did you check your PATH environment variable ?

Is there a possibility to start Qt Creator with some file logging ?

As I already mentioned I get following message in Qt Creator in tab “common output”:

ENG: “The system cannot locate the defined path”
GER: “Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden”

SGaist · wrote on 31 Jan 2015, 23:11

You can start it with QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 to see what they are doing (Qt Creator is essentially based on plugins)

osmosm · wrote on 2 Feb 2015, 07:16

Hi SGaist,

where can I find the logging if I set environment variable QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 ?

Nobody left with any idea ?
I´m really disappointed from Qt !!

SGaist · wrote on 5 Feb 2015, 00:05

What it strange is that it seems you have a mismatch between your current target and the one used when trying to install the application.

Are you trying to run your software on a device ?

osmosm · wrote on 5 Feb 2015, 06:39

I cannot run my software on a device, because the get the error:

Error: Target id ‘android—1’ is not valid. Use ‘android.bat list targets’ to get the target ids.

But I think that is only a wrong path problem.
As I already mentioned I get following error message in Qt Creator in tab “common output” when I press the button "Apply" or "OK" in dialog Settings->Android where I define the paths to SDK,NDK,JDK and ANT:

ENG: “The system cannot locate the defined path”
GER: “Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden”

How can I determine which path the system cannot find ?
I should have more information.

I added a new user profile in Win7 and installed the Qt 5.4.0 for Android software again. But I had no success. Still I get the error in Qt Creator->Extras->Settings->Android->“Add AVD” :
“no AVD could be created for there is no actual android-sdk available. Please install a android-sdk of API version 0 or newer”

Can I no longer use Qt on my PC ?
Hello, is that really possible ?
What´s the problem ?

osmosm · wrote on 27 Feb 2015, 08:46

Today I installed Qt for Android 5.4.1 on my Windows7 host.

DEEP DISAPPOINTMENT !!!!
The problem still consists. No access to Android SDK !!!!

Is there nobody who matters that problem but me ??????

yogeshpatel23 · wrote on 4 Mar 2015, 07:32

Have you mentioned path of JDK, SDk & NDK correctly ?
like :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_29
D:\Android\android
D:\Android\androidndk

did you installed Android with eclipse?

tusharkant15 · wrote on 8 Mar 2015, 14:59

Hi, I faced the same problem today after upgrading to Qt 5.4.1 and the solution that worked for me was to delete all config files used by qtcreator, start qtcreator and setup JDK, Android SDK+NSK and download apache ant and provide the path to the ant binary. I use linux and up until now the system provided jdk and ant worked fine but after upgrading to 5.4.1 I had to get the latest jdk and ant binaries from the respective sites and this seems to have fixed the problem (maybe clearing out old config files also helped).

If you are wondering where the config files are, on linux they are usually:
~/.config/QtProject/
~/.config/QtProject.conf
~/.config/Trolltech.conf

Peace!
