Im planing on staring to develop games for android but im not sure where i should begin.
I have done a lot of work whit C++ and OpenGL and i would prefer continuing to work in c++ even on android.
Watching the google i/o 2011 about the NDK and c/c++ programming i got the feeling that it could be done relatively easy.
But i keep reading articles about how difficult it would be and that if i dont have a relay good reason i should stick to the sdk, but im not sure if this is old information and not relevant.

Should i use the ndk just because i like c++ more then java or should i just start whit the sdk?

    The NDK only provides a subset of what the SDK provides. It’s of course more cumbersome and harder to debug. The reason it’s there is because you get closer to bare-bones performance and that matters for games and in particular 3D.

    So if you need 100% power or you’re porting a game engine written in C++, consider the NDK
    If not, stick with the SDK
