Environment Setup issues

[kgregory]

I'm trying to learn to develop an Android app. I installed Qt 5.8 on my windows machine along with Android studio, Android SDK, Android NDK, and JDK. I created a Qt Quick 2 application and the first thing I did was try to run it on the virtual Nexus_5X that I created. I get the following error message. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Cannot find template directory C:/Android/AndroidSDK/tools/templates/gradle/wrapper
00:19:41: The process "C:\Qt\5.8\android_x86\bin\androiddeployqt.exe" exited with code 3.

@kgregory Does that directory exist? If so do you have permissions to it? What is in it?

[kgregory]

C:/Android/AndroidSDK/tools/templates does not exist.

I'm assuming I didn't install something correctly or I installed the wrong thing. Or maybe I linked one of the tools to the wrong folder. Perhaps I missed a guide explaining how to set up my environment?

@kgregory Ok so where did you install your AndroidSDK to when you installed it? Does it have a templates directory?
