To enable helpful code editing features for Java, such as code completion, highlighting, function tooltips, and navigating in code, add a Java language server. Starting from Qt 5.14.0, the Qt for Android package contains all the architectures (ABIs) installed as one. Qt Creator can automatically dowload and install the tool chain and create a suitable build and run kit that contains the tool chain and the Qt version for Android for the device's architecture. To develop for Android, you must have a tool chain for building applications for Android devices installed on the development PC. Devices with Android version 4.1 (API level 16) or later are supported when developing with Qt 5 and devices with Android version 6.0 (API level 23) when developing with Qt 6. If you plan to develop with Android, setup of the Android Debugging Bridge is essential, but for a casual user, it will save you the extra fuss to just stay clear.You can connect Android devices to the development PC using USB cables to build, run, debug, and analyze applications from Qt Creator. However, the setup for these commands may not be worth it to the average Android user who won’t be diving into any of the more complex development uses. The easiest way to set up and take advantage of ADB is with a rooted device, considering the ways around that requirement can be a little confusing to set up. Because of this, those that are new to ADB should stick to File Manager type commands, like the ones in the link above.

You can view an additional ADB commands list here.įor those not interested in Android development, backing up an SD card, and other data shifting commands would most likely be the most useful. You can view the link above for ADB command lists, tips, and general help that may be required with general ADB use, or even ADB use for development.

Installing applications that were on your computer that are compatible with Android.

Copying data from your device or you computer.

You can now run ADB commands to your device to perform actions such as: If connected, you’ll see the device name listed as a “device.” Well now that it’s set up, what can I do with it? You can verify that your device is connected by executing adb devices from the android_sdk/platform-tools/ directory. You can now connect your device with USB.
