@Shrinidhi-Upadhyaya hi

taken from https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/android-getting-started.html

Note: If your Qt version is earlier than v5.9, use the SDK tools package v25.2.5 or earlier.

You're using 5.12 so I would suggest 26, I'm personally using 26.1.1

Hi @J-Hilk ,

iam also using SDK Version 26.1.1. But i guess there is some problem with NDK android toolchain version,i have tried using using the "android-toolchain-version 4.9", but it did not work. Have i specified something wrong in the command or am i missing something. Because with respect to "https://wiki.qt.io/Android", they have not specified any android-toolchain-version in there command. So whether specify the android toolchain version or not, its giving me the same error.

@Shrinidhi-Upadhyaya may I ask why you want to build Qt yourself instead of using the installer?

Actually iam working on WebView qml for Android, so i have URL which does not load, so i want to add a function called setDomStorageEnabled() in QtAndroidWebViewController.java .

Solved by adding the complete path to the SDK and NDK.
