what files should be located for each "Browse" part of JDK Location, Android SDK Location and Android NDK Location there?

the root folders which you get when you extract them

And as well as, when I want to download NDK by the download button there, it again directs me to the previous link I mentioned above.

Download this (if linux host):
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-r13b-linux-x86_64.zip

from here
https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/index.html

Thank you.
I did those and also download apache-ant-1.10.1-bin. Then set the folders as this. Please take a look at the warning message right on the bottom of Android SDK Location!

then I continued by Creating The Project:
In number 7 (Select kits), I should select a kit for my new project. When click on Manage to select the Android, it again shows the page with the warning message!

I tried well to select a folder as root but wasn't that successful!
Two questions:
1- How to solve this massage please?
2- Which kits should I select? Only Android, or I can select all kits?

Android studio is not the same thing as the SDK however I don't know where the SDK is located with the Android Studio installer. I usually get the command line tools from the bottom of the download page.

You mean I downloaded and installed Android Studio uselessly?

I usually get the command line tools from the bottom of the download page.

I think, anyway, we should have a SDK for put its path to the kit page, not?

[SGaist]

No, I just don't know where the SDK is located when you install Android Studio.

However, Android Studio itself is, indeed, not needed to build Qt applications.

@SGaist
If it's probably in the path where Android Studio is installed, OK, I will search for it. But what to search? A file, folder what?!!!

[SGaist]

Folder, a SDK is always at least a folder since it should provide all tools / libraries / whatnot to do development. You can search for a file named adb.exe.

[tomy]

Very nifty point. :-)

I found it here C:\Users\CS\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools so I add C:\Users\CS\AppData\Local\Android\sdk as the location path. Agree?

I did it. But how to select Android kit!? Apparently I should add it!

[SGaist]

Looks good yes.

Did you install the Qt for Android version ?

[tomy]

@SGaist
I have Qt 5.7 Creator + all the files and folders mentioned above installed/downloaded on my Windows 7 x64 machine.
I don't know what that is.

I think I should add an Android kit for the project. But how!?

[SGaist]

When using the online installer for example you have the option to install Qt for various Visual Studio, MinGW and Android. if you don't already have a kit then it's likely that you didn't install Qt for Android development.

[tomy]

@SGaist
No, I've installed MinGW, because I was coding for windows. should I also install another Qt Creator!!!?

[SGaist]

No, just Qt for Android. Qt Creator is capable of handling several version of Qt in parallel without any problem.

[tomy]

@SGaist
Good news. so how to add that on my Qt Creator please?

[SGaist]

Start the online installer, then add/remove and check the Android option.

@SGaist
Can't I use the maintenance tool?

[SGaist]

Yes, sure thing, it's that one that I had in mind, sorry.

[tomy]

No it's fine. Actually it is me that I should say "sorry" for getting your time.

I went for it, but unfortunately it doesn't include a Qt for android version. :(

[SGaist]

Did you use the offline installer at first ?

[tomy]

@SGaist
No. directly used the maintanence tool.
My offline installer is this qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw530-5.7.0 (size 1.10 GB).
