Init new Android project

dxvx

Hello!
I'm trying to initialize a new cross platform project, in particular I'm working on the android "side".
I have installed what is needed to create a new android device but...
when I press "Create Template" I need the content of two folders: "<android_sdk_home>/tools/templates" and "/usr/src/android/templates" (that aren't the same folder, I think).
How did you solved this problem?

For the first folder I have donwloaded android-studio and copied a folder called template in tools... but it I have used only some imagination, so this isn't a solution.

You need:

install Android SDK (can be done by installing Android Studio)
install Android NDK (can be done from within Android Studio's SDK manager)
install Qt for Android
in Qt Creator, go to preferences->Devices->Android and specify the paths where your SDK and NDK are located

After these 4 steps you should be ready to go. There is no need to manually copy any templates or anything.

I have deleted the previous android SDK, installed android studio (latest version downloaded yesterday) and I have installed:

  build-tools;29.0.3   | 29.0.3       | Android SDK Build-Tools 29.0.3          | build-tools/29.0.3/  
  cmdline-tools;latest | 1.0          | Android SDK Command-line Tools (latest) | cmdline-tools/latest/
  emulator             | 30.0.5       | Android Emulator                        | emulator/            
  ndk;21.0.6113669     | 21.0.6113669 | NDK (Side by side) 21.0.6113669         | ndk/21.0.6113669/    
  patcher;v4           | 1            | SDK Patch Applier v4                    | patcher/v4/          
  platform-tools       | 29.0.6       | Android SDK Platform-Tools              | platform-tools/      
  platforms;android-29 | 4            | Android SDK Platform 29                 | platforms/android-29/
  sources;android-29   | 1            | Sources for Android 29                  | sources/android-29/

the problem is the same as installing only the sdkmanager.

And what is that problem? Do you get any error message? Does the application not build? Does Qt Creator complain?

Even I am looking for a solution. Somebody please help me with that.

when qtcreator tries to create the gradle and android template, it fails because there is no template in the android SDK

Possibly Google changed the layout again. Sorry, I don't know how to fix this, last time I tried creating templates it worked fine. Make sure you're using the newest Qt Creator and if it persists, please report a bug on Qt bug tracker.
