@Abdulmueez Delete build folder, run qmake and rebuild

The errors don't go away after applying the recommended changes.

Project ERROR: Cannot run compiler 'cl'. Output:

===================
Maybe you forgot to setup the environment?
Error while parsing file C:\Qt\Examples\Qt-5.12.2\quick\positioners\positioners.pro. Giving up.
I have the above message in my general message tab

Hi,

Why are you trying to compile for WinRT since you want your application to run on Android ?

Also, cl missing usually means that you don't have Visual Studio installed for C++.

[Abdulmueez]

Hmm, I have visual studio installed already, and about compiling for winrt, all I do is click on the compile for android v7a... and then click on run.
Isn't that the right step to follow.

[SGaist]

Did you install all the tools needed for Android development ? Like the SDK and NDK ?

[Abdulmueez]

Yes, I have them both installed.

[SGaist]

Then either you are currently using the wrong Kit or you modified one. The build logs shows that you are trying to build your application with the 64bit Visual Studio 2015 build of Qt.

[Abdulmueez]

No, that's for something else.
These are the messages generated in the issues, general messages and compile output tab

There have been several threads recently about that precise error.

I saw somewhere that ndk 20 is not compatible with Qt. (I can not remember where and why).
It has same errors as you (linker error)
Install ndk 19

[Abdulmueez]

Thanks a lot to everyone, after installing ndk 19, everything seems to work fine.
