About this page
On this page I describe how I build Qt Multimedia for Android on Windows.
My build setup
- OS: Windows 11 with dev drive mounted on D: (Using a dev drive makes builds faster when using Windows Defender antivirus)
- Qt source tree: D:\qt\qt6\
- Build directory containing all builds: D:\qt\build\
- Main (host) build for dev branch: D:\qt\build\dev\
- Visual Studio 2022 (MSVC)
- Don't have perl in path as it can cause hard to understand build failures
- Have cmake in path
Setting up Qt Creator for Android
- Install Qt Creator with Android option
- In Creator preferences, install Adoptium JDK (C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-17.0.10.7-hotspot)
- Android SDK location: C:\dev\android
- Select Android NDK 26.1.10909125 and make default
- Oppenssl location: C:\dev\android\android_openssl
- Verify Android settings:
- Add Android device for ABI x86_64, OS Version 13.0 ("Tiramisu") (SDK 33)
Building Qt for Android on Windows
Main build root Android: D:\qt\build\android
Configure Qt for Android in build root using host build
cmake -DQT_BUILD_SUBMODULES=QtMultimedia -DQT_HOST_PATH=D:/qt/build/dev/qtbase -DQT_BUILD_TESTS_BY_DEFAULT=OFF -DQT_BUILD_TESTS=ON -DANDROID_PLATFORM=android-33 -DQT_USE_TARGET_ANDROID_BUILD_DIR=TRUE -DQT_QMAKE_TARGET_MKSPEC=android-clang -DANDROID_SDK_ROOT=C:/dev/android -DANDROID_NDK_ROOT=C:/dev/android/ndk/26.1.10909125 -DANDROID_ABI=x86_64 -DQT_BUILD_EXAMPLES=FALSE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DINPUT_developer_build=yes --fresh -G Ninja D:/qt/qt6 & ninja
Main build directory for Qt Multimedia on Android: D:\qt\build\androidmultimedia Configure Qt Multimedia for Android
cmake-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=D:\qt\build\android\qtbase\lib\cmake\qt6\qt.toolchain.cmake -G Ninja -DQT_USE_ORIGINAL_COMPILER=ON -DQT_BUILD_TESTS=ON -DQT_BUILD_TESTS_BY_DEFAULT=OFF D:/qt/qt6/qtmultimedia & ninja
Importing Qt Multimedia build into QtCreator
- Open QtMultimedia CMakeLists.txt from D:\qt\qt6\qtmultimedia
- Deselect all kits
- Import build from D:\qt\build\androidmultimedia
- This creates a Android Qt 6.8.0 (android) Clang x86_64 kit
- Configure is run automatically again
- Select a test to be built (tst_qmediadevices) and choose a corresponding emulator in project build settings for Android kit
- Build target tst_qmediadevices
- Observe error message:
