Android.mk seems not to exist

Question

I hope I have not overseen the question was already asked or the question is to stupid...

I have installed Android Studio and Android NDK following the official tutorial at http://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/index.html and I could run the simple hello-jni app on my device. In the tutorial in the following "building section" is told that "The Android.mk file resides in a subdirectory of your project's jni/" but I am absolute sure, that there is no Android.mk in my project -.-

Thanks in advance!

Good catch!

The Android.mk file belongs to the old times. Android Studio moves into easier integration of NDK, and you don't need to run ndk-build anymore. Unfortunately, NDK support in Android Studio is still not final; the description at http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/android-ndk-preview is not exactly up-to-date, and another, "experimental" plugin is under development, sa described here: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/gradle-experimental
