Where do I find old versions of Android NDK? [closed]

Question

Does anyone know where I can find older versions of the Android NDK? Our code doesn't build with r6. Surely there must be archived versions somewhere.

Answer 1

Here are the links for Windows, Mac and Linux. Latest revision of 18.x, 17.x, 16.x, 15.x, 14.x, 13.x, 12.x, 11.x, 10.x, 9.x, 8.x and 7.x versions.

Answer 2

Looks like you can construct the link to the NDK that you want and download it from dl.google.com:

Linux example:
http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r9b-linux-x86.tar.bz2 http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r9b-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

OS X example:
http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r9b-darwin-x86.tar.bz2 http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r9b-darwin-x86_64.tar.bz2

Windows example:
http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r9b-windows.zip

Extensions up to r10b:
.tar.bz2 for linux / os x and .zip for windows.

Since r10c the extensions have changed to:
.bin for linux / os x and .exe for windows

Since r11:

.zip for linux and OS X as well, a new URL base, and no 32 bit versions for OS X and linux.

Answer 3

A way to find out old download links is to use internet archive tools like "Way back machine", https://archive.org/web/. You can browse older web pages versions and get the links you want.

For example, I needed to download the NDK rev 9, so I used this tool to access the NDK download page (https://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/) from March and the download link in March pointed to NDK rev 9.

Answer 4

I came across this just now doing the same search, and found the other answers are far too specific. I also google searched for downloading android-ndk-r8 and found next to nothing. To get the correct version, I instead went here:

https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/index.html

And copied the link to the download I needed, and pasted it into the URL bar. There, I edited the version to reflect what I wanted (for example, I changed r8b to r8). Then I pressed enter, and the correct download began.

As long as the naming conventions remain the same, this should work across all versions.

Edit: This convention did change. Some older versions are now available in the archives. For even older versions, refer to the links provided by the answer above.

Answer 5

Looks like simply putting the link like this

http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r7c-windows.zip

on the address bar of your browser

The revision names (r7c, r8c etc.) could be found from the ndk download page

Answer 6

The 64 bit versions are available also:

http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r8e-darwin-x86_64.tar.bz2

just replace the R8E release/version/iteration

Answer 7

As user3486832 mentioned, you can use archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/*/https://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html

Answer 8

Simply replacing .bin with .tar.bz2 is not enough, for NDK releases older than 10b. For example, https://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r10b-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 is not a valid link.

Turned out that the correct link for 10b was: https://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk32-r10b-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 (note the additional '32'). However, this doesn't seem to apply to e.g. 10a, as this link doesn't work: https://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk32-r10a-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 .

Bottom line: use http://web.archive.org until Google fixes this, if ever...

Answer 9

Google has moved NDK releases to GitHub. Now, the Wiki page contains links to the current stable release, to available betas, and to selected older releases.

Answer 10

http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r9d-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

I successfully opened gstreamer SDK tutorials in Eclipse.

All I needed is to use an older version of ndk. specificly 9d.

(10c and 10d does not work, 10b - works just for tutorial-1 )

9d does work for all tutorials ! and you can:

1. Download it from: http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r9d-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

2. Extract it.

3. set it in eclipse->window->preferences->Android->NDK->NDK location.

4. build - (ctrl+b).
