The Android Native Development Kit (NDK) lets Android developers embed native C/C++ code in their apps as JNI shared libraries. This repository hosts the NDK's issue tracking, roadmap, and build-system documentation, with source maintained in AOSP.
Use cases
- compile C++ code for Android apps
- build JNI shared libraries
- use Vulkan or high-performance audio APIs natively on Android
- debug native crashes and tombstones on Android
- build Android apps with CMake or ndk-build
When to choose
- you need native C/C++ performance in an Android app
- you're porting an existing C/C++ library to Android
- you need access to low-level Android APIs like Vulkan or Neural Networks from native code
When to avoid
- you're building a pure Java/Kotlin Android app with no native code
- you want cross-platform desktop development rather than Android
