# 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 | Notes
--- | --- | --- | ---
Android 8.0 or later (API level 26 or higher) | `armeabi-v7a`, `x86`, `arm64-v8`, and `x86_64` | Clang 14.0.6 (NDK r25b) as provided by Google | For JDK versions see Java Development Kit (JDK)

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`.

Target Devices used in Automated Testing
Device | OS Version | Architecture | Form Factor
--- | --- | --- | ---
Pixel 3A | Android 10 (API 29) | armv7, arm64_v8a | Mobile
Pixel 4A | Android 12 (API 31) | armv7, arm64_v8a | Mobile
Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 | Android 10 (API 29) | armv7, arm64_v8a | Tablet
Google Pixel 6 Pro | Android 13 Beta 4.1 | armv7, arm64_v8a | Mobile
Samsung Galaxy S21 | Android 12 (API 31) | armv7, arm64_v8a | Mobile
Motorola MotoG 3rd | Android 6.0.1 (API 23) | armv7 | Mobile
Huawei Honor | Android 6.0.1 (API 23) | armv7, arm64_v8a | Mobile
Samsung Galaxy S10 | Android 9 (API 28) | armv7, arm64_v8a | Mobile
Pixel 4 | Android 11 (API 30) | armv7, arm64_v8a | Mobile

Note: Qt for Android support is inclusive of but not limited to these devices.

Note: The above table is accurate at the time of this Qt patch release only. It may change during the patch release cycle and should only be used as a reference for what the Qt Company can rapidly reproduce bugs on.
