+
+    \section2 Specifying Run Settings for Android Devices
+
+    To run and debug an application on an Android device, you must create
+    connections from the development host to the device, as instructed in
+    \l {Connecting Android Devices}.
+
+    A default set of Android Activity manager (am) start options is applied when
+    starting applications. You can specify additional start options in the
+    \uicontrol {Activity manager start options} field. However, if the default
+    options conflict with the added options, the application might not start.
+
+    For example, to run the application as a particular user, enter the start
+    option \c {--user 10}, where \c 10 is the user ID of the user account.
+
+    \image qtcreator-android-run-settings.png
+
+    You can specify shell commands to run before the application is started and
+    after it is quit. For example, enter the following commands to unlock the
+    screen and to switch to the user account \c 10 on the device before running
+    the application:
+
+    \code
+    input keyevent 82
+    am switch-user 10
+    \endcode
+
+    Enter the following commands to switch back to the default user, \c 0, and
+    to unlock the screen after the application is quit:
+
+    \code
+    am switch-user 0
+    input keyevent 82
+    \endcode
