Can't setup Android NDK location in Android Studio

Question

I set default location for AndroidSDK and JDK, but I can't set location for Android NDK - the field is grayed out.

I downloaded NDK to some folder, set up ANDROID_NDK_HOME and NDK_HOME vars. What's wrong?

Answer 1

It was grayed for me too.

I fixed the problem by adding the NDK location to my local.properties file, eg:

ndk.dir=/Users/myusername/Library/Android/sdk/ndk/22.1.7171670

Answer 2

I needed to install NDK for my react-native project, but same I couldn't set it up in android studio because it was grayed out...

Here is what worked for me (based on protossor answer in this post):

1. In android studio go to File -> Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools -> and install NDK (Side by side)

2. Set up the enviromental virables NDK_HOME and NDK_MODULE_PATH (in my case both: C:\Users\piotr\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk\23.0.7123448 )

3. Finally in app/build.gradle change ndkVersion for exactly the one u have installed. For me like this:
