# 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 start your Qt for Android application, download and install Qt for Android and use the Qt Creator IDE, follow the instructions on the Getting Started with Qt for Android page.

If you have an existing Android application, try Qt Quick for Android. It includes plugin for Google's Android Studio. Find it on the IntelliJ marketplace. This enables you to add Qt Quick content to your Android app as a View.

To build Qt from source, see Building from Source.

## Supported Configurations

The following configurations are supported in this Qt release:

Compiler | Clang 17.0.2 (NDK r27c or 27.2.12479018) Note: It's recommended that Qt apps use the same NDK version used for building the official Qt for Android libraries to avoid missing symbol errors. In releases supporting multiple NDKs, the newest supported NDK is used for building Qt.
JDK | JDK 17

Package | Multi-ABI `APK`s, `AAB`s and `AAR`s Note: Multi-ABI builds are available only when using CMake. For more information, see CMake Android Multi-ABIs.

For more information on the supported Android versions, see Qt for Android Supported Versions Selection Guidelines.

## Android Fragments

You cannot use Android Fragments in a Qt for Android application.

However, Qt does offer its own modular components and views with QML. You can combine multiple components in one QML view. For more information, see Qt Qml.

If you are integrating Qt Quick for Android into an Android application, the QtQuickView API can be used inside fragments.

Qt's vibrant and active community site houses a wiki, a forum, and additional learning guides and presentations.
