[SOLVED]Qt Throwing error when attempting to compile android APK
-
I have been trying to compile the hello world application for mobile and it just won't compile, I tried switching the build targets and all. I am good on desktop programming but just started on mobile. I have linked the SDK,NDK,Ant and JDK correctly and installed the android API. I restarted several times(both my pc and Qt) but nothing seems to fix this issue.

Did you updat e your Android sdk tools? That is all I can think of that I changed, and I am now getting that issue
-
I think I have the same error, but in my case, I use Kubuntu 14.04 64 bits, Qt 5.4.2 and Qt Creator 3.4.1. I use the API for Android 4.0.3, but I tried others newer and the bug remains. I have installed Android SDK Tools 24.3.2, Android SDK Platforms-tools 22 and Android SDK Build-tools 22.0.1, 21.1.2, 20 and 19.1.
I tried several versions of Java like OpenJDK 6, OpenJDK 7 (both from Ubuntu's repo) and Oracle JDK 8 (from the websites). I tried Ant from the repo and the current version from Apache's website and I always get the same error.
I was thinking in reinstalling Kubuntu because everything is good. Compilers are OK, Qt versions are OK, I have the the g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf package installed, so I don't know what I'm doing bad, and IDE doesn't give me meaningful information to find a solution.
Here is the code that Qt Creator shows me when I try to compile for Android:

I just reloaded my laptop and started getting this error with the latest QtCreator community edition and latest Android Studio / Android SDK setup.
Unfortunately I never found the cause of the error using ant. I did try adding the "<ANDROID-SDK>/build-tools/<version>/" directory to my path as that is where the aidl executable is but that did not alleviate the issue.
I was able to get my APK built by telling QtCreator to use gradle instead of ant.
In QtCreator -> Projects -> Build & Run -> { android kit (build) } -> Build Android APK -> Advanced Actions -> Use Gradle checkbox.
I started getting a different error I believe was related to Android build tools version. Android studio automatically installed Android Build Tools 23.0.0.R2 preview. I uninstalled the preview and left Android Build Tools V 22.0.1.
I cleaned my Qt Project, ran qmake, and rebuilt project.
Hope this helps. I'd love to know if anyone figures out the problem without switching to gradle.

Thanks a lot for the advice and idea's to fix this problem, I will let you guys know if I can fix it myself when I have access to my computer. I felt frustrated and gave up but it's good to know I might be able to finally compile.
-
Use the latest version of the SDK(At this time 24.3.3), Use Ant(Gradle still won't work), Use the latest NDK and latest Qt Creator Release.(5.4 at this time). That's what I did to get it to work for me. Large thanks to sk2212 and all the other idea's!
