There is detailed instructions on the Android NDK Preview site.

The gist of it

  • Download Android Studio 1.3+
  • Install the NDK bundle from Tools > Android > SDK Manager NDK in android sdk manager
  • Import the hello-jn sample using File > Import Sample (Note: This sample is using the new gradle-experimental plugin) import sample diaglog

  • Click Run > Edit Configurations... and andd a new Android Native configuration native run configuration
    (source: android.com)

  • Run and debug your application as usual

A few things to try from there:

  • Generate JNI bindings for Native Java function. generate jni binding
  • Put breakpoint in native code (with the current limitation that breakpoint on init/onCreate get skipped, should be already fixed in Android Studio 1.4 Preview)
  • Give feedback to the team
  • Try and contribute to the new sample on GitHub
  • Explore the new documentation and API reference.
