I had the same issue. In my case, it was a wrong run configuration.
(left pane) "Projects" -> "Build & Run" -> "Run" -> "Run" -> "Run configuration:"
Make sure the you have selected the right configuration.

I reply to myself, just in case some else has the same issue.
Switching the Jenkins build slave from Windows7 to Linux (Debian 10) has reduced the APK build time from 40 minutes to 8 minutes! Yes, my project is relative big ;)

Use the latest version of the SDK(At this time 24.3.3), Use Ant(Gradle still won't work), Use the latest NDK and latest Qt Creator Release.(5.4 at this time). That's what I did to get it to work for me. Large thanks to sk2212 and all the other idea's!
