Please also check that the Android SDK Build-Tools are installed. They are listed in the Android SDK Manger -> Tools.

Thanks Nick, it's already installed.

Maybe can someone give me a list of required components for Qt? I have a feeling I'm missing something there, as there are many options.

@Shahar-Klinger Did you check this introduction: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/androidgs.html

Shahar Klinger

@jsulm Yes, that was one of the first docs I read. One line that troubles me is "2. Select the components you need in the Select Components screen and click Next.".

Maybe I didn't install all the required components, or there is some problem with those I selected?

jsulm

@Shahar-Klinger Which components did you install?

Shahar Klinger

The Qt components I installed, as listed in the Maintenance Tool, are as follows:

Qt 5.7.0:

msvc2013 64-bit
Android x86
Android ARMv7
Other Qt components (Charts, Data Visualization etc.)

Tools:

MinGW 5.3.0

Thanks!

So I just had a breakthrough, that resulted in the application showing up on my phone.
After building the project in Qt, I go to the build directory in a command line prompt, and type:

mingw32-make install INSTALL_ROOT=.\Deploy
androiddeployqt --output .\Deploy --install --input android-libcalqlatr.so-deployment-settings.json

And lo and behold, the application is installed on the device.
Why doesn't Qt Creator do this automatically?
