[Interest] Can't deploy anymore on QtCretor 4.5

Sat Dec 9 11:11:32 CET 2017

I ran into issues myself going from 4.4 to 4.5. But I didn't delve too 
long into solving them manually. What I did instead is take a complete 
backup of my project (this should go without saying, obviously,) and 
then delete the Android files. Then I regenerated the Android files and 
re-applied my custom settings in the template editor.

This made sure gradle is used and everything built correctly.

In other words, there doesn't seem to be an actual upgrade path 
implemented in Creator. I might be wrong, but the best solution seems to 
be to wipe the Android directory and re-generate it.

The button that regenerates all the Android template files is a bit 
hidden though:

* Click on the "Projects" icon in the left pane (the wench icon.)

* Select your Android Kit's "Build" entry.

* In the "Build Steps" group, click the "Details" button of the "Build 
Android APK" entry. This will expand it.

* There should now be a "Create Templates" button.
