Can't get APK built with correct targetSDK Qt Creator 5.15.2

[Vince_SiriusXM]

I’m trying to upgrade our target SDK from 28 to 34 ; so I did the following:

1. Opened our projects project\android-build\gradle.properties file and changed targetApi=34
2. Went into Qt Creator and selected:

However, after building, if I do a diff of my build-xxx-Android_Qt_5_15_2_Clang_Multi_Abi-Debug\project\android-build\gradle.properties I see this:

BOTH qtMinSdkVersion=21 AND qtTargetSdkVersion=28 are wrong. My minSdkVersion = 30 under defaultConfig in project\android\build.gradle and obviously I selected targetSdk of 34 in Qt Creator

If I use aapt.exe from SDK34 to dump the resulting APK I see the following:
Line 843: A: android:minSdkVersion(0x0101020c)=(type 0x10)0x1e -> 30
Line 844: A: android:targetSdkVersion(0x01010270)=(type 0x10)0x1c -> 28

So clearly this makes no sense as the targetSdk is < the minSdk ; what am I doing wrong??

[Vince_SiriusXM]

@Vince_SiriusXM I've managed to reproduce this issue using the analogclock example that comes with Qt 5.15.2 .
Can ANYONE get this example design to build for Android with a targetSDK of 34? If so how?

@Vince_SiriusXM
I use the version 31

@Vince_SiriusXM 5.15.2 "For version 5.15.2, when compiling Android programs, you need JDK 11.0.2, NDK 21.3.6528147, and Android tool version 29 and build-platforms-android-29 . Make sure these requirements are met to compile successfully. There seems to be a strange bug in Qt Creator 12.02 where even though the configurations are set correctly, it still displays errors. However, the compilation can proceed. Another bug is that after setting up as mentioned above, sometimes you can't select 'android-tool-version 29' and 'build-platforms' the next time." I'm not sure if my English grammar is correct, but this is what I've figured out after spending several days trial and error. Unfortunately, I can't upload images here, otherwise I wouldn't need AI assistance to translate it into English to inform you.

[jack_study_qt]

@Vince_SiriusXM When you encounter issues, revert the JDK back to JDK 17, restart, then set it to JDK 11, Android 29, NDK 21! If possible, switch to Qt 6; I haven't found any bugs so far, but there isn't much learning material available compared to Qt 5! Ugh, why did I choose to learn Qt for Android when I already know Java? These bugs are causing me so much pain

[jack_study_qt]

@Vince_SiriusXM You can download the file from https://dl.google.com/android/repository/commandlinetools-win-9123335_latest.zip and then replace the files in the corresponding folder in the SDK. After that, QtCreator should work properly. Remember to use JAVA11 and NDK21.

[jack_study_qt]

@Vince_SiriusXM Good news, after replacing the files downloaded above with the SDK files, I can now successfully compile using platform 34 as long as JDK11 is confirmed!

Did you "Create Templates" for Android and if so what values you select for :

Also which ABI(s) did you build for?

Thank you for reply btw!!

which is the exact folder to replace with these?

[jack_study_qt]

@Vince_SiriusXM After several days of testing, it has been confirmed how to configure the Android environment for QT 5.15.2 with JDK 11 and the necessary Android packages downloaded. However, your QtCreator still encounters errors because the SDK you have installed only supports JDK 17, whereas QT 5 is limited to supporting JDK 11. The solution is as follows: In the SDK installation directory, locate cmdline-tools, enter it, and then click on latest. From the following website, choose the corresponding cmdline tools version compatible with JDK 11 and directly overwrite the original files. Voila! Your QtCreator should now be free of errors. Oh, is the Android QT version still showing up in red? Clear the cache in QtCreator. If not for having one computer working flawlessly while another one encountered issues, I wouldn't have discovered this bug. Lastly, note that the compilation platform targeting API 31 produces the fewest and most optimal results; do not use a version greater than 31. If you're still encountering problems, carefully review my post to ensure you haven't missed any crucial steps—every detail counts. Replacing cmdline-tools is absolutely essential; let me emphasize this point thrice.

@Vince_SiriusXM 31.00 android-31

[Vince_SiriusXM]

My original goal when I started this thread was to compile in QT 5.15.2 for Android with targetSDK = 34.
After reading through all the posts carefully and experimenting myself it seems like that may be impossible without moving to a newer version of Qt (possibly 5.15.16 or 6+?) and hence I'm stuck at targetSDK = 31 ?
Is that the general consensus?

[jack_study_qt]

@Vince_SiriusXM No, I have successfully compiled using the 34api, but I haven't tested if the functionality is correct. QT5.15.X can only use JDK11, and 34API can be used. You must do as I said above to make qtcreator work properly and use JDK11 without errors.

[jack_study_qt]

@Vince_SiriusXM targetSDK = 34? I don't have that kind of phone, haven't tried it. In QT5.15.2, I've only used build-platform 34 android34.

[Vince_SiriusXM]

@jack_study_qt After you successfully built for 31API or 34API, go into your build directory and open the files:
C:\Qt\Examples\Qt-5.15.2\gui\build-gui-Android_Qt_5_15_2_Clang_Multi_Abi-Debug\analogclock\android-build\gradle.properties
and
C:\Qt\Examples\Qt-5.15.2\gui\build-gui-Android_Qt_5_15_2_Clang_Multi_Abi-Debug\analogclock\android-build\build.gradle

What does it show for the variables:
minSdkVersion =
targetSdkVersion =

@Vince_SiriusXM <uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="31" android:minSdkVersion="31"/> <supports-screens android:normalScreens="true" android:smallScreens="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:anyDensity="true"/> <!-- %%INSERT_PERMISSIONS --> <!-- %%INSERT_FEATURES --> </manifest> Using JDK11, NDK21, and an Android build platform of android-34 (repeated twice), under these settings, the API 34 emulator successfully compiles, but the APP fails to run! The API 31 emulator compiles successfully, and the APP runs normally! However, the API 29 emulator cannot compile. Despite this, the following content remains unchanged:

This must be a bug in QtCreator, right? Otherwise, why can't the API 29 emulator compile? This tool has plenty of bugs, ha ha. Perhaps you could use QJN to call native Android APIs and check what the actual TargetSdkVersion is. Actually, I misunderstood your question earlier; I thought you were trying to solve a compilation issue, whereas you actually want to determine the TargetSdkVersion. In my testing, it doesn't seem to display correctly.

@Vince_SiriusXM "Hehe, it might be because the NDK version is not high enough. Don't bother trying JDK 17; it won't compile. Start testing from version 22 onwards
