Amy Winarske commented on JENKINS-13107:
----------------------------------------
You'd only want the NDK if required. It's easy to detect - you look for the
jni subdirectory in your Android project directory and see whether it contains
an Android.mk file.
The NDK is used to create a jar file that is then used in the regular Android
SDK build, so the NDK build is just a step that comes before the rest of the
usual Android build.
See http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html.
In the event that Google changes their doc without notice, here's the info
directly from today's NDK Getting Started:
Getting Started with the NDK
Once you've installed the NDK successfully, take a few minutes to read the
documentation included in the NDK. You can find the documentation in the
<ndk>/docs/ directory. In particular, please read the OVERVIEW.HTML document
completely, so that you understand the intent of the NDK and how to use it.
If you used a previous version of the NDK, take a moment to review the list of
NDK changes in the CHANGES.HTML document.
Here's the general outline of how you work with the NDK tools:
Place your native sources under <project>/jni/...
Create <project>/jni/Android.mk to describe your native sources to the NDK
build system
Optional: Create <project>/jni/Application.mk.
Build your native code by running the 'ndk-build' script from your
project's directory. It is located in the top-level NDK directory:
cd <project>
<ndk>/ndk-build
The build tools copy the stripped, shared libraries needed by your
application to the proper location in the application's project directory.
Finally, compile your application using the SDK tools in the usual way. The
SDK build tools will package the shared libraries in the application's
deployable .apk file.
For complete information on all of the steps listed above, please see the
documentation included with the NDK package.

> The dependency download is very nice, but doesn't include the NDK, only the
> SDK. NDK support would be a big help.
