NDK Install
Download and unzip the latest NDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.
html into your work folder (in this case C:\eclipse-SDK ).
You now need to configure Eclipse so that it knows where the NDK is in order to use it when
building your native application. Follow these steps to set the location of the NDK:

1. Launch Eclipse.

2. Open the Preferences window and select Android ➤ NDK to see the

directory of the NDK we just installed (see Figure 1-3 ).

Figure 1-3. Preferences window showing where NDK is located

To verify the installation in the Project Explorer pane, right-click the project name; the
context menu should appear. Then, when selecting Android Tools, if you see the Add Native
Support option, it means that NDK is fully installed and configured.
