As an intermediate-level programmer of C++ (that have been working on C++ for console apps and used only FLTK for GUI apps), I heard much about Qt5 to be suitable and very powerful for creating apps for many platforms such as Windows, Linux, iOS and also Android.
I'm now a novice on Qt and to create apps for PC, I'm going to start reading this book (which is of Qt4).
But I, too, like to start reading a good book on Qt5 that makes me able to create apps for iOS and Android. Is there such a good book?
Any suggestion is fully appreciated.
This book will give you common sense about Qt, but keep in mind that there's a lot of difference between Qt4 and Qt5 (most important that Qt5 improves QtQuick module). To build your iOS or Android app I suggest you will need look deep inside of QtQuick. This book will help you a bit.

short question, is there a free mobile app template available? I’m very new to this so I don’t know much. I hear react native is the most common? If it is any consultation, I’m looking for a picture sharing format like iFunny.
Thanks!
In android studio, there are a few templates for new activities/fragments. If you're looking for something that you can download and just change a few variables, it will probably take you longer/be more confusing than actually learning to program an app.
Each app has their native source code. For android it is java/kotlin, and iOS it is swift. React native is a framework to create your apps for both platforms at the same time(ish). Programming in the native languages vs using React has their own pros/cons, so it's up to you what you want to do.
If you are adamant on using a template, then a simple google of 'react native app templates' will probably be what you are looking for.
I personally recommend going the honest route and learning to program your app, it's not too difficult, and you will learn a lot!

What is the best option today to do C++ software development on an Android platform? I need C++11, Boost, SQLite, vi/Emacs/whatever, ... and Android is the development platform, not necessarily the target.
Are the development tools on Google Play complete? Do they allow to develop a full scale application?
Are there any advantages in using a Linux VM on Android for this purpose?
You can use NDK with your android app development to embed a C++ code, which will improve the performance considering you are doing much complicated task and if you need native language like C++. But now android runtime [ART/Dalvik] is much better and all the apps are targeted to run on it. You can do a lot of work only in java itself.
And there is no VM available yet. So best way to go with this is use NDK.

I have some experience in Python and know that Kivy is a good platform to create python android apps. Though as side hobby, I am learning c#/unity for indie game development, I know unity is good for developing android game, but let's say I want to build a weather app on android, does unity have the capability to allow developers to do so?
Yes, Unity has the capability to create non-game applications for Android (and iOS). However, I would highly discourage it. Using Unity for non-game development is like building a house out of sheet metal. While it can be done, it's not the right tool for the job and anyone who sees it can tell.

This might sound like a duplicate question but trust me its not.
I have an Android app. It contains WebView to display webpages. Now I am planning to go live with the app on ios too. Now having two different codes and maintaining them is a difficult task.
Is there a way I can develop app in both the platforms with minimum maintenance issues. With minimum maintenance I mean more reusable code that can be use on both the platforms.
I have heard that it can be done using Chromium Project but am unable to find supporting docs for the same on internet.
Any suggestions?? or reference materials??
For what I know there is no way you could use your Java code and the XML files (including your WebView) in IOS application. the language/platform are different.
What you could do is to develop a web application that looks as a mobile application for example using JQueryMobile and the export it using the already suggested PhoneGap framework to any platform you would like.
You should try one of the several frameworks out there, being PhoneGap (http://phonegap.com) an interesting option.

I'm interested in developing an android app that makes use of an OpenCV android port at http://code.google.com/p/android-opencv/. Particularly, I want to use SURF features which comes embedded in the OpenCV framework but I'm not sure if then I will be able to sell this app.
Anyway, is there any non-free app making use of any of the OpenCV android ports?
SURF is a patented algorithm. You need permissions to use it in commercial applications. SURF comes with OpenCV because there its being used for "academic" or "research" purposes, without any commercialization involved.
Read the license files of the particular port you are using.
The two different ports I googled and looked at in the past two minutes seem quite clear.
