Using Qt codes in Android application

[morteza ali ahmadi]

I have an Android application in Android Studio and I want to use Qt C++ codes in my app. I have used pure C++ codes in my android app using cmake and NDK recently and I could interact with my pure C++ and now I want to use Qt C++ codes.

To do this, I have installed Qt with Android capability. After that I copied Qt5.12.7/5.12.7/android_arm64_v8a/lib/*.so and includes file to my Android App /etc/ folder and I created a simple main.cpp and CMakeLists.txt files as follow:

main.cpp

#include <QString>
#include <QDebug>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QString test="HELLO WORLD!";
    qDebug()<<test;
    return 0;
}

CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.4.1)
include_directories(etc/headerFile)
link_directories(etc/libs)
add_library(po-lib SHARED main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(po-lib -lQt5Core)

As seen in the above files, I want to compile a simple Qt C++ code with dependency on libQtCore.so in my Android App, but after compiling the App, the following errors occur:

Build command failed.

I have used both arm64_v8a and armv7 libs in Qt folders but the same errors appear. How can I solve this linker error (incompatible lib)?
