    Description

      I built Qt for Android following the instructions at https://wiki.qt.io/Android. The build finished successfully, but when I try to build a basic Qt Quick application, I get the following error message:

      14:46:08: Running steps for project quick...

      The build script:

      #! /bin/bash
      
      qtBuildDir=~/dev/qt5-dev-android-debug
      qtSourceDir=~/dev/qt5-dev
      
      set -e
      
      if [ ! -d "$qtSourceDir" ]; then
          echo "source directory $qtSourceDir doesn't exist; aborting"
          exit
      fi
      
      if [ ! -d "$qtBuildDir" ]; then
          echo "build directory $qtBuildDir doesn't exist; aborting"
          exit
      fi
      
      rm -fr $qtBuildDir
      mkdir $qtBuildDir
      cd $qtBuildDir

      make -j 8
      

      I installed the r10e NDK and I have API level 21 installed from the SDK manager.

      If I download Qt 5.9.5 for Android from the online installer and build the same application, I get a similar error:

      I notice that Creator sets ANDROID_NDK_PLATFORM to android-15 in the Build Environment, which doesn't seem right. I don't have android-15. Notice that -D_ANDROID_API_=15 is passed when building using both kits.

      ls ~/dev/Android/android-ndk-r10e/platforms/
      android-12  android-15  android-21  android-3  android-8  android-9
      

      If I check Tools > Options > Devices > Android > Android Settings, it says:

      Android settings are OK. (SDK Version: 26.1.1, NDK Version: 10.4.0)

      That doesn't seem right? I only have Android 5.0 (Lollipop, API level 21, revision 2) installed. I did have newer versions installed (see this discussion) that I've since removed.
