Deploying on other platforms as well

[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.

@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).

[SGaist]

So your original installation comes from an online installer, correct ?

[tomy]

@SGaist
No, because of disconnecting the Internet here, I firstly dowloaded that offline installer and used it for installing 5.7

[SGaist]

There's also an offline installer for the Android build.

[tomy]

@SGaist
Do you mean that I should download and install qt-opensource-windows-x86-android-5.7.0.exe? If so, should I install it over Qt Creator folder or what?

@tomy

Do you mean that I should download and install qt-opensource-windows-x86-android-5.7.0.exe?

Yes

If so, should I install it over Qt Creator folder or what?

Better to uninstall the previous one

[jsulm]

@tomy QtCreator is not Qt - why should you install Qt over QtCreator?
Install it somewhere - you probably already have this folder c:\Qt with your old Qt version, install the Android version there in a subfolder.
QtCreator can handle multiple Qt versions, so no need to uninstall your existing version.

Just an fyi,

In Qt creator 4.2.1 based on qt5.8.0 the layout in the options section of Qt-Creator changed, the android path specifications are now under "Devices" for what ever reason.

Took me a moment to find them.

The docs still say Tools > Options > Android instead of Tools > Options > Devices >Android
