Unable to select Android Build SDK in Qt 5.7 on windows-7

[gunS]

I am using Qt Creator 4.1.0 on Windows 7
I have a problem selecting the Android Build SDK in the project configuration. The menu doesn't show anything and it is disabled.

I have API levels 18 to 24 in my SDK and NDK Bundle, revision 13.1.3345770
Java JDK 1.8.0_111
apache-ant-1.9.7

I configured all these paths in Qt.
When I run Qt takes by default --android-platform android--1 and returns the following error:

Error: Target id 'android--1' is not valid. Use 'android.bat list targets' to get the target ids.
Generating Android Package

Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed
Warning: Android platform 'android--1' does not exist in SDK.
Building the android package failed!
  -- For more information, run this command with --verbose.

When I skipped this step and tried to do the same as an User defined step, setting --android-platform android-24 everything worked pretty fine and I could run the App on my device.

I tried reinstalling Qt but didn't work. The Android Build SDK menu doesn't show anything.
Could anyone help me in this context?

Hello,

Within Qt Creator

• On the 'Mode Selector' pane select 'Projects'.
• Under 'Build & Run', expand 'Build Android APK' by selecting details.

Under 'Application', do you have an SDK selected in the combo box for 'Android Build SDK:'?

Hello,

That exactly is my problem. The combo box is more or less disabled. I cannot even expand it to select a SDK.

I have same issue with Qt 5.7 and latest Qt 5.8 on Windows 10

I tried: delete and reinstall Qt, delete and reinstall Android SDK - nothing helps.

From logs I see something like this:

14:46:34: Starting: "C:\Qt\5.8\android_armv7\bin\androiddeployqt.exe" --input D:/BBSDK/workspace_qt/build-Tabletki-Android_for_armeabi_v7a_GCC_4_9_Qt_5_8_0-Debug/android-libTabletki.so-deployment-settings.json --output D:/BBSDK/workspace_qt/build-Tabletki-Android_for_armeabi_v7a_GCC_4_9_Qt_5_8_0-Debug/android-build --deployment bundled --android-platform android--1 --jdk "C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_45" --gradle

So as temporary solution I copied this string and pasted in windows command line and replaced manually "android--1" to "android-22"

Hi,

I have exactly the same Problem.
Well sort of. My error message is slightly different but I have the same problem with my combo box being empty.
Win 7, qt 5.8

Build failed
Warning: Android platform 'android--1' does not exist in SDK.
Building the android package failed!
  -- For more information, run this command with --verbose.
14:55:39: The process "C:\Qt\5.8\android_armv7\bin\androiddeployqt.exe" exited with code 14.
Error while building/deploying project TrainingApp (kit: Android for armeabi-v7a (GCC 4.9, Qt 5.8.0))
When executing step "Build Android APK"

Has someone found a proper solution yet?
Would be super helpful thx

Found a workaround

set environment Variables:

Set ANDROID_API_VERSION to android--22
Set ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS_REVISION to 25.0.2
Set ANDROID_NDK_PLATFORM to android--22

this worked for me

Hello, I have the same issue. After searching from internet, I found this:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-59236

So I use the NDK version 10 instead of the latest one. and then reconfigure Qt(5.6.2) NDK path.. and also downloaded SDK tools_r25.2.5-windows.

then the Project-> Build and Run -> Build Android APK shows the SDK level I can select from....

then the build works... (I really hate it when people moving things around without notify others...)

But then MY APP crash.... with message unfortunately, XXX has stopped..... at the start up.... so I have to continue debugging..... :(

Hope this helps others.
