A collection of official sample apps demonstrating the Android NDK (native C/C++ development on Android), built with Android Studio and Gradle. Samples showcase individual NDK APIs such as JNI usage, camera, graphics, and best practices like RegisterNatives and version scripts.

Use cases

  • learn how to use the Android NDK with C++
  • see examples of JNI native code in Android apps
  • find a starting point for Vulkan or OpenGL native Android apps
  • understand NDK best practices like RegisterNatives
  • build native Android samples from the command line with Gradle

When to choose

  • you want official, maintained examples of Android NDK APIs
  • you are learning native Android development with C/C++
  • you need reference code for JNI, camera, or graphics APIs on Android

When to avoid

  • you need a production-quality app template (samples intentionally sacrifice robustness)
  • you are building a pure Java/Kotlin app with no native code
  • you want a general Android app architecture reference (use Now in Android instead)
