# 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 6.6:

The following configurations are supported in this Qt release:

Distribution | Architecture | Compiler | Notes
--- | --- | --- | ---
Android 8.0 to Android 13 (API level 26 to API 33) | `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
