    Thanks again,
    well, the 'Auto-detected' section in my Tools>Options>Kits is empty.
    Nothing shows there even when I connect my Android phones (tried with Samsung and Huawei)
    qt_kits_screenshot.png
    Maybe worth mentioning that both phones are old and run on Nougat 7 which I think i installed through Android Studio. Also interesting, when i tried to run the emulator it started lasted maybe 30secs and then it stalled my entire system and I had to hard-reset; this happened both on Android Studio and Qt Creator

      Q: What does it do?
      A: It turns blue.

        Sorry J.,
        that's chinese to me, agaain.
        "Qt install for the Kit?"
        I have the Qt that comes with the standard installation of Slackware, Qt 5.15; then I installed the Qt Creator via sbopkg by Ponce.
        I didn't even know I could install another Qt version for the Kit or, am i misreading your question?
        How would I install another version for the Kit?

          @freenico You need to install Qt for Android if you want to develop for Android.
          Please show you "Qt Versions" tab.

            Is Qt Android a separate package? if so, where would I find it? (there is nothing on this page https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/android.html )

            Why is the Androis tab in Tools>Options>Devices showing that ALL the android settings are 'OK'?

              @freenico Please show the "Qt Versions" content! Its next to "Kits" tab which you posted before.

              "Why is the Androis tab in Tools>Options>Devices showing that ALL the android settings are 'OK'?" - because those are not Qt related but needed to develop Android apps.

              Again: you need to install Qt for Android...

                  its not implicitly stated but at least different Qt versions are mentioned
                  https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/android-getting-started.html#installing-the-android-sdk-essentials
                  as they require different NDK versions.

                  You first 2 Screenshots show the version of Qt used to build the QtDesigner and QtCreator. Those are development tools, that are designed and build with Qt. Qt itself is a framework/library. That comes in different versions and flavours. Depending on what system you want to build your application for, you either have to download the precompiled binaries or compile Qt yourself via the open source source code :D

                  as far as I know Slackware is linux distro, so see this link for the online installer

                  it should detect your os and give you the correct one.

                  The online installer allows you to select what qt version you want to install, I would not recommend installing everything.

                    @freenico You did not install Qt for Android. Go to https://www.qt.io/, download Qt online installer, start it and install Qt for Android.

                      @J-Hilk thank you. That's all I was hoping.
                      I know that forum's help is not supposed to the job for you; I am happy to go and roll my sleeves up if i get pointed to the right direction.
                      I will take a look at the online installer.
                      Thanks Jsulm

                        I am there now. Why would you not recommend that?

                          Because most probably you do not need everything. Qt binaries are quite big, so only install what you need.
                          "Qt 6.2 for mobile development" - is this expandable? I did not use recent installer, so not sure.

                            no, it is not! there is just a thick-box ( i see after it would give the option to select components, maybe there i would have more options)

                              The online installer allows you to select what qt version you want to install, I would not recommend installing everything.

                              I am there now. Why would you not recommend that?
                              Which box would you recommend I should tick?
                              It gives me three options:
                              Design Tools
                              Qt 6.2 for Desktop Development
                              Qt 6.2 for mobile development

                              Is Qt 6.2 for mobile development a synonym of Qt for Android?

                              I haven't used the online installer since Qt6 was released, as a Qt5 commercial user I refuse to participate in the new commercial Qt6 Scam,

                              Anyway, it used to be that you could select almost all versions for all platforms. Since the good all days, it seems the installer got some love.

                              Nowadays you only see, by default, the latest version that you can actually use on your platform.

                              So Linux Desktop and Android mobile.

                              In that case, fell free to install both, if you want to develop for both.

                              under linux, yes

                                So, guess what: i ticked all three boxes. Newbie solution!
                                I have lots of HDD space so, why not.
                                Thanks for the assistance (i will mark this post as solved, although i am not really sure what willl happen after the install finishes)

                                  Another newbie question: I see that, now, I have another version of Qt Creator.
                                  I guess it is safe to remove the previously installed Qt Creator?

                                    Yes, you can uninstall the other one.

                                        a couple of things really,

                                        • LTS and offline installer to become commercial-only
                                        • Moving core features like TreeView to the QtMarketPlace for additional yearly subscriptions, or GPL
                                        • Change from subscription to Qt overall, to subscription of individual modules.
                                          Would I change over to Qt6 I would have to pay 3 times from what I'm currently paying.
                                        • "LTS" versions are commercial only now
                                        • Community bug fixes aren't open sourced until after a year later

                                        That said, if you're an open source user of Qt and willing to always update to the latest Qt6 version, absolutely nothing changes for you :D

                                        now i see all the things you guys were asking me before

                                        😜
                                        but, I'm not sure why you don't have a "Multi-Abi" android version as well?
