i am a little bit lost with android setup using NDK.
Actually i use gradle plugin version 7.2.2 and Gradle version 7.4. So i should be able to use ndkDir in the build.gradle file is the setup is done in local.propertie file and -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=C:\\android-ndk-r27c\\t
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=C:\\android-ndk-r27c\ in the build.gradle.
ans i use externalNativeBuild { cmake {path "CMakeLists.txt"} } with cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.3.0) and i installed the lastCmake 4.1.2 in the androidSDK/cmake directorie.
Now i have donloaded the last android-ndk-r29 and change the ndkDir in local.propertie to the new NDK and changed the DCMAKE_C_COMPILER to the new NDK.
when build my apk i got this error :
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
\> NDK is not installed
Until now i alway used ndkDir to update or change NDK version using gradle version 7.4 for testing purpose. But it does not work with android-ndk-r29. I did "invalid chache" but same error.
So it look like some thing have changed and i do anderstand what and why.
thanks for help.
Dont use ndk.dir in local.properties, it was deprecated.
Use this in module build.gradle:
android {
ndkVersion "29.0.14206865"
externalNativeBuild {
cmake {
path "CMakeLists.txt"
}
}
}

Androids docs recommend android.ndkVersion for AGP 4.1+, with ndkPath only for special custom path cases. Android Studio installs NDKs under android-sdk/ndk/<version>. For r29 actual version is 29.0.14206865, not just r29.
You can install r29 using:
sdkmanager --install "ndk;29.0.14206865"
If ndk was unpacked to C:\android-ndk-r29, use ndkPath instead:
android {
ndkPath "C:/android-ndk-r29"
}
Also, you should not need to pass explicitly: -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER / -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER, AGP/cmake should handle it for you.
