Qt for Android
Qt for Android enables you to develop Qt applications for Android devices, and supports a wide range of features and use-cases.
To download and install Qt for Android, follow the instructions on the Getting Started with Qt for Android page. To build Qt from source, see Building from Source.
Supported Configurations
The following development environments and target system configurations are supported in Qt 6.5:
The following configurations are supported in this Qt release:
| Distribution | Architecture | Compiler | JDK | Gradle | Package |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Android 8.0 (API 26) to 14 (Api 34) | arm64-v8, x86_64, x86, and armeabi-v7a | Clang 14.0.6 (NDK r25b or 25.1.8937393) | JDK 17 | Gradle 8.10 and AGP 8.5.2 | Multi-ABI APKs and AABs |
Note: It's recommended that Qt user apps use the same NDK r25b version used for building these official Qt for Android libraries. An NDK version more recent than r23b is required if building a project results in an error of missing the symbols for __emutls_get_address.
