Doc: make the Android setup instructions more prominent 


Feedback from users indicates that they cannot find the
instructions for setting up the Android development environment.
Added links to the instructions in several high level topics.
Also, moved the Qt 5 instructions above the Qt 4 instructions
in "Connecting Android Devices".

\section1 Developing with Qt 4
\section1 Developing with Qt 5
The Necessitas SDK automatically sets the paths to the required software
in \QC, but you need to add the Qt version. \QC can then create the
necessary kits for you.
You must download and install the latest Android NDK and SDK, and update the
SDK to get the API and tools packages needed for development. In addition,
you must install Qt for Android as part of Qt 5.2, or later.
For more information, see \l{Qt for Android}.
To configure connections between \QC and Android devices:
\list 1
\li Select \gui Tools > \gui Options > \gui {Build & Run} >
\gui {Qt Versions} > \gui Add to add the path to \c qmake path in
the Qt for Android SDK.
\li Select \gui Tools > \gui Options > \gui Android to check the paths
to the required software.
\li Select \gui Tools > \gui Options > \gui Android to add paths to the
Android NDK and SDK.

warning if it cannot find a suitable Qt version.

\gui Projects > \gui Run for the \gui Android kit.
\li Select \gui Details to view the
\gui {Package configurations}. For more information about the
options you have, see

\gui About several times.
You must download and install the latest Android NDK and SDK, and update the

\section1 Setting up the Development Environment
To be able to build and run the application, you must download and install
the latest Android NDK and SDK, and update the SDK to get the API and tools
packages needed for development. In addition, you must install the
Java SE Development Kit (JDK) and Apache Ant. After you have installed all
these tools, you must specify the paths to them in \QC.
For detailed instructions, see \l{Qt for Android} and
\l{Connecting Android Devices}.
