# 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 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 17.0.2 (NDK r26b or 26.1.10909125) | JDK 17 | Gradle 8.3 and AGP 7.4.1 | Multi-ABI `APK`s and `AAB`s

Note: Multi-ABI builds are available only when using CMake. For more information, see CMake Android Multi-ABIs.

Note: It's recommended that Qt apps use the same NDK r26b version used for building these official Qt for Android libraries to avoid missing symbol errors.
