Did you build poppler for Android?
From your screen-shot it does not look like you did...

@jsulm
after building poppler for android it shows the same errror
skipping incompatible /usr/local/lib//libpoppler-qt5.so when searching for -lpoppler-qt5.

[jsulm]

@NIvil-Wilson said in How do i use poppler lib in Qt quick application.:

/usr/local/lib//libpoppler-qt5.so

I'm sure this is not poppler built for Android.
You have to provide proper path to the Android version using LIBS.

Hi,

I would avoid putting a library like that built for a different architecture/OS in such a generic path. You should store in an explicit dedicated folder.

@NIvil-Wilson said in How do i use poppler lib in Qt quick application.:

skipping incompatible /usr/local/lib//libpoppler-qt5.so when searching for -lpoppler-qt5.

This error clearly states that /usr/local/lib//libpoppler-qt5.so is not compatible with what you are building.
Do

file /usr/local/lib//libpoppler-qt5.so

and post its output here.

@jsulm said in How do i use poppler lib in Qt quick application.:

file /usr/local/lib//libpoppler-qt5.so

/usr/local/lib//libpoppler-qt5.so: symbolic link to libpoppler-qt5.so.1

[jsulm]

@NIvil-Wilson Then do

file /usr/local/lib//libpoppler-qt5.so.1

[NIvil Wilson]

@jsulm
sir,
the result for the command file /usr/local/lib//libpoppler-qt5.so.1 is
/usr/local/lib//libpoppler-qt5.so.1: symbolic link to libpoppler-qt5.so.1.27.0

[NIvil Wilson]

@SGaist
sir, i tried that too but the same problem occurs

Check that file then.

Did you ensure that cmake is finding your cross-compiled version and not the one from your system ?

[NIvil Wilson]

@SGaist
sir,
yes i ensured that the cmake is finding cross-compiled version and not the one from the system .
i stored the cross-compiled version in an explicit dedicated folder and the same message appears.
please help

[SGaist]

Did you check the architecture of your cross-compiled library ?

[NIvil Wilson]

@SGaist
sir ,
the architecture of cross-compiled library is given below.

Is your device running on a x86_64 machine ?
