This SHOULD work. I don't think I do anything else. Except that I use Qt 5.6 (and I will play with Qt 5.7 tomorrow).
The trick is to have the right Qt installed, with the cross compiled bits for Android. And to make sure that the paths in the shell script are correct.

When you run into trouble PLEASE send the emails to the mailing list and not just to me because there are people much closer to you in time zone who have done this and who should be able to help
