Question

I want to integrate some c code with Android so as first step I has to specify NDK path in Native Development node. But when I specify NDK path it gives error Invalid path for NDK
I googled but could not find some solution. Am I missing some step.

SDK and NDK are in the same folder and SDK path working fine.

Please help

I have installed

• make-3.81
• nawk-2007.10.23-setup
• Cygwin
• ADT-17.0.0
• Sequoyah
• android-ndk-r7b-windows.zip (Extracted)
  

EDIt:

I just check the link and came to know that it could be GCC absent problem .How do I check that if its GCC problem or not , or How can I check if GCC is installed or not?

Mmm… weird error. Keep in mind that in order to use the NDK, the SDK should be working in perfect way before you start with the NDK, said that, I suggest you to try the following:

1- Be sure you have the pre-requisites:

• For all development platforms, GNU Make 3.81 or later is required.
  Earlier versions of GNU Make might work but have not been tested.
• A recent version of awk (either GNU Awk or Nawk) is also required.
• For Windows, Cygwin 1.7 or higher is required. The NDK will not work
  with Cygwin 1.5 installations.

2- Start from scratch again by deleting any NDK references such as the settings on eclipse, paths, folders, zips, etc.

3- Be sure you have updated to the latest Android SDK and ADT Tools. Using the Help->Check for Updates Menu in ECLIPSE and then be sure you have all the things are up to date on the Android SDK Manager.

4- I see a “D:/” on your question, so you’re using a Windows PC… it must be a Windows XP (32-bit) or Vista (32- or 64-bit). Be sure to get the Windows version (http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r7b-windows.zip), and when you have unzipped that ndk, rename the folder to “ndk”. You can put it next to where your SDK’s folder is, it should not matter.

5- Open Eclipse, and give it the path to the NDK, and see what happens.

Good luck!
