    I have a project running on Android using NDK. Is it at all possible to make this application run in the background without any interface.

    As it stands it is a stand-alone application with basic debugging interface and I want to convert it to a some kind of background service to another app.
    Also is it possible to enable this application to open from another application?

      @ouscn said in Running an Android application in background without any GUI:

      s it at all possible to make this application run in the background without any interface.

      This is called a service!
      And yes it is possible ==> https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/android-services.html

      It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. (Sherlock Holmes)

        Please note https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-76411, as Android 8 and later have quite a few new restrictions to background services.
