+    \section1 Specifying Android Device Settings
+
+    \QC offers to automatically install all the necessary packages and tools and
+    to set up your development environment by creating debuggers, tool chains,
+    and kits. You can use \QC to:
 
     \list
-        \li \l{AdoptOpenJDK} for all platforms. You can also use \l{OpenJDK}
+        \li Download and extract the Android SDK Command-line Tools.
-            on Linux.
+        \li Install or update the essential packages such as NDKs,
-
+            build tools, and platform tools.
-            \note Android SDK Tools versions <= 26.x have issues with JDK versions
-            later than 8. It is recommended to use the latest Command-line SDK Tools.
-
-        \li \l{http://www.gradle.org}{Gradle} for building application packages
-            (APK) and app bundles (AAB) for Android devices. Gradle is delivered
-            with Qt 5.9, and later, because Gradle scripts are not delivered
-            with  Android SDK tools since version 26.0.0.
-
-            \note Using Ant to build APKs is no longer supported.
-
-        \li \l{http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html}{Android SDK Tools}
-
-            The following Android SDK packages and tools are required for
-            development:
-
-            \list
-                \li Platform tools
-                \li Build tools
-                \li At least one SDK platform
-                \li The \l{http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html}
-                    {Android NDK} from Google that provides the tool chain for
-                    building applications for Android devices. For a detailed
-                    list of Qt versions and their recommended NDK versions,

-
-            \li On Windows, you also need the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) driver
-                on the Windows platform to enable USB debugging. The default USB
-                driver on Windows does not allow debugging. For more information

-                {ADB driver installation}.
     \endlist
 
-    \section1 Setting Up the Development Environment
+    To set up the development environment for Android:
-
-    To build Android applications with Qt, install Qt for Android 5.2, or later.
-
-    \note You can build a 64-bit version of Qt for Android yourself. However,
-    for such a Qt version, the minimum required Android version on devices
-    is 5.0 (API level 21).
-
-    For more information, see \l{Qt for Android}.
-
-    Download and install the latest Android SDK, and then install
-    or update the NDKs, tools and packages needed for development.
-
-    Starting from \QC 4.12, \QC offers to automatically set up your Android
-    environment and install all the necessary packages and Tools, then
-    creating debuggers, tool chains, and kits. For more information,
-    see \l {Specifying Android Device Settings}.
-
-    Alternatively, use the Android SDK command line tools to install
-    the required packages. In that case, it is recommended to create an
-    empty folder and extract the downloaded archive into this folder.
-
-    \note The recommended Android SDK Tools version is 25.3.0, or later. The version
-    25.2.5, or earlier, can be used but it is not advised because it cannot be
-    fully integrated with \QC.
-
-    \list
-        \li Android SDK Tools version 25.3.0, or later
-
-            This allows using the
-            \l{https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/sdkmanager.html}
-            {sdkmanager} command line tool for SDK package management and the
-            \l{https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/avdmanager.html}
-            {avdmanager} tool for Android Virtual Device (AVD) management.
-
-            The sdkmanager will install downloaded packages next to the \c tools
-            folder that contains all command line tools. You must specify the path
-            to the folder where you extracted the files as Android SDK location
-            inside the Android settings.
-
-            To install those packages, use the following command:
-
-            \badcode
-            ./sdkmanager "platform-tools" "platforms;android-29" "build-tools;29.0.2" "ndk-bundle"
-            \endcode
-
-            For Qt 5.12.0 to 5.12.5 and Qt 5.13.0 to 5.13.1, the following
-            should be installed instead:
-
-            \badcode
-            ./sdkmanager "platform-tools" "platforms;android-29" "build-tools;28.0.2" "ndk;19.2.5345600"
-            \endcode
-
-            \target ADB windows driver
-            Under Windows, Google's USB drivers can be installed by running:
-
-            \badcode
-            sdkmanager.bat "extras;google;usb_driver"
-            \endcode
-
-            For more information about altenative methods of obtaining the USB
-            driver, see \l{http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html}.
-            After the package installation is complete, install the driver from
-            \c{<ANDROID_SDK_ROOT>/extras/google/usb_driver}. Try running a few basic
-            \l{http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html}{adb} commands now
-            and check whether your Android device responds to them.
-
-        \li Android SDK Tools version 25.2.5, or earlier
-
-            If your Qt version is earlier than v5.9, use this SDK tools version.
-            The SDK tool used to install and update the other SDK tools and packages
-            depends on the Android SDK Tools version that you have installed:
-
-            Use the
-            \l{https://developer.android.com/studio/tools/help/android.html}
-            {android} tool that comes with the SDK Tools package. For example,
-            on  Ubuntu the following command starts the SDK update:
-
-            \code
-            ./android update sdk
-            \endcode
-

+    \section2 Manual Setup
+
+    \note We recommend that you use the latest Android SDK Command-Line Tools.
+    Using Android SDK Tools version 25.2.5 or earlier is not supported, because
+    they cannot be fully integrated with \QC.
+
+    However, if the automatic setup does not meet your needs, you can download
+    and install Android SDK Command-line Tools, and then install or update the
+    NDKs, tools and packages needed for development. For more information, see
+    \l{Getting Started with Qt for Android}.
+
+    \section2 Viewing Android Tool Chain Settings
+
+    The Android SDK Command-Line Tools download URL, the essential
+    packages list, and the appropriate NDK for each Qt version are defined in a JSON
+    configuration file. The file is located under the user's \QC
+    resource folder:
+
+    \badcode
+    # Linux and macOS
+    ~/.config/QtProject/qtcreator/android/sdk_definitions.json
+
+    # Windows
+    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\QtProject\qtcreator\android\sdk_definitions.json
+    \endcode
+
+    For example, the SDK configuration file defines the NDK version 19.2.5345600
+    to be used for Qt 5.12.0 to 5.12.5 and Qt 5.13.0 to 5.13.1 versions:
+
+    \badcode
+    "specific_qt_versions": [
+        {
+            "versions": ["5.12.[0-5]", "5.13.[0-1]"],
+            "sdk_essential_packages": ["build-tools;28.0.2", "ndk;19.2.5345600"],
+            "ndk_path": "ndk/19.2.5345600"
+        }
+    ]
+    \endcode
+
+    You can view the latest version of the configuration file that is up-to-date
+    with the Android SDK and NDK changes, \l{sdk_definitions.json}, in Git.
+
+    \section2 Managing Android NDK Packages
+
+    To view the installed \l{Android NDK} versions, select \uicontrol Tools >
+    \uicontrol Options > \uicontrol Devices > \uicontrol Android.
+
+    \image qtcreator-options-android-sdk-tools.png "Android NDK and SDK checks"
+
+    The locked versions were installed by the SDK Manager, and can only
+    be modified from the SDK Manager tab. For more information, see
+    \l{Managing Android SDK Packages}.
+
+    To manually download NDKs, select \inlineimage online.png
+    .
+
+    To add custom NDK paths manually to the global list of NDKs, select
+    \uicontrol Add. This creates custom tool chains and debuggers associated
+    to that NDK. However, you have to manually create a kit that uses the
+    custom NDK. For more information, see \l{Adding Kits}.
