+### BUILDTOOLS_REVISION
+
+The revision of the Android SDK build tools. This must match a valid sub-folder of your <ANDROID_SDK>/build-tools directory. It seems like it can sometimes be needed, when the system cannot auto-detect it.
+
+Remains empty if not given.
+
+Example:
+
+```cmake
+add_qt_android_apk(my_app_apk my_app
+    BUILDTOOLS_REVISION "23.0.3"
+)
+```
+
 ### KEYSTORE
 
 The path to a keystore file and an alias, for signing the APK. If not provided, the APK won't be signed.
