Where to give the path of Gradle
-
@tomy Yes should be fine, just try.
I asked which doc you're following because maybe it should be fixed (to not to ask users to install their own Gradle). -

It says:
Requirements
To use Qt Creator to develop Qt applications for Android, you need the following:
Java SE Development Kit (JDK) version 6, or later
A build tool for building application packages for Android devices:
Apache Ant 1.8.0, or later
Gradle
...And when the user clicks on Gradle, it takes them to this page:
https://gradle.org/
Where they are presumably asked to install GradleAnyway, the problem is seemingly solved for me and if you like make a suggestions for the holders of Docs please to modify this.

@tomy Yes, it says Gradle is needed, but if you read further then it says that it is integrated:
"On Android, applications are distributed in specially structured type of ZIP packages called APK. You can use either Ant or Gradle to build APKs. Using Gradle has the following benefits:It is 25 to 50 percent faster than Ant when rebuilding packages. It is integrated with Android Studio."The doc does not say you have to install it.
If you read the documentation you should not immediately install all requirements listed. Instead you should read further there all set-up steps are explained. -

warnings come after the instructions:-)

They could have added a simple line like:
If you install Android Studio and want to use Gradle instead of Ant, "you do not need to install it manually" because the Android Studio contains it itself.That line should have been added at, of course, the beginning not the end.
This is my opinion.

It looks like that doc page was updated. A requirement line encompasses all the Android requirements, and it states that QC can download these for you.
