Necessitas SDK for android app with Qt

Question

There are 2 pages that confuse me:

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/android-support.html

and

https://wiki.qt.io/How_to_Create_and_Run_Qt_Application_for_Android

Both these pages guide you on how to create Android apps with Qt. But one uses the Necessitas SDK and the other doesn't.

I want my app to use the Google-Cloud-Messaging service to be able to send and receive notifications.

I already have created an Android app and it runs fine on my phone without using the Necessitas SDK.

So my question is: Do i need this necessitas SDK? if so, why? Or can i just continue like i already have?

Answer 1

I think the 2nd link is out of date. From what I understand, necessitas was needed for Qt4 but Qt5 has it by default.
