Android Studio Where to Install Ndk File? (Downloaded It in Zip)

Android studio Where to install NDK file? (downloaded it in zip)

Yes, rename the extracted folder android-ndk-r13b(probably the exact name will be outdated someday soon) to ndk-bundle (you can put the NDK [and SDK for that matter] anywhere, and leave the name alone if you want {do not do this, I'm sure seen one case of hard-coded sub-path}),
then, make the settings point to the location where you put it.

Android Studio, File menu | Project Structure Ctrl+Alt+Shift+s
(short-cut: ctrl+Alt+Shift+s):

It might also be helpful to you to set/check the following environmental variables:

NDK_HOME=C:\Android\sdk\ndk-bundle
NDK_MODULE_PATH=C:\Android\sdk\ndk-bundle

EXTRA stuff:

While were doing environmental variables (belt-and-braces for SDK):

ANDROID_HOME=C:\Android\sdk

For JDK:

JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_112
JAVA_PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_112\bin

JDK is the Java Development Kit.

JRE is the Java Run-time Environment.

If your tight on memory (RAM) for Gradle (700 Megabytes is about as low as you can go, other tools like monitor.bat use this variable too, it's ubiquitous) (clearly you want to make it as big a possible, without swapping making it extremely slow to build {note the underscore VERY important ! [it's a reserved name space conflict operator, don't ask me to explain it's VERY complicated !]}):

_JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xmx700m

how to locate ndk into android studio

I found a solution

I located ndk dir manually in my app project by adding ndk.dir=E\:\\android-ndk-r12b at the end of local.properties file.

Android NDK Default location

The latest version extracts itself inside the current working directory. So if you launched it from the explorer, that's the same directory as your .exe.

You should find an android-ndk-rXXX folder there. Otherwise that means it wasn't extracted.

It's always better to use the latest NDK, there are many bug fixes and improvements with each releases... You can open the .exe as an archive with 7zip, and extract it somewhere else if you need, or launch the .exe from a terminal set where you want to have it extracted.

Installing Android Emulator In Android Studio with zip files

I had a problem downloading the Emulator(Image files) from the android studio. So when you try to run your app witout an emulator. It asks for an option to create a new emulator wherin it'll download the required files. It use to download 60-70% and give error. So I used the link in the download dialogbox, and manually downloaded the zip file. Now that zip file needs to be extracted and has to be pasted in the sdk folder.

sdk/system-images/android-(api level)/(extracted folder)
