Pre-requesties

You also need Java JDK and Ant.

QT-Creator (for QT only)

Open QT-creator that should be installed with QT.
Go to Settings/Anndroid and specify correct paths to SDK and NDK. If everything is correct you will see two set avaiable:
Android for armeabi-v7a (gcc, qt) and Android for x86 (gcc, qt).

git clone https://github.com/PurpleI2P/OpenSSL-for-Android-Prebuilt.git  
git clone https://github.com/PurpleI2P/MiniUPnP-for-Android-Prebuilt.git  
git clone https://github.com/PurpleI2P/android-ifaddrs.git  

Building the app with QT

Creating release .apk

In order to create release .apk you must obtain a Java keystore file(.jks). Either you have in already, or you can generate it yourself using keytool, or from one of you existing well-know ceritificates. For example, i2pd release are signed with this certificate.
Create file 'ant.propeties'
key.store='path to keystore file'
key.alias='alias name'
key.store.password='keystore password'
key.alias.password='alias password'
Run 'ant clean release'
