I have an android studio project which requires the NDK to be set. I had downloaded an NDK manually and extracted it to a directory in my C: drive. What I did was to follow the instructions which are online and I went to : File->Project structure, and tried to set the NDK path. But the search box there was disabled as shown in the image,
I then set environment variables to point where the ndk was located. Here are the names I used for the environment variables: "ANDROID_NDK_ROOT" and later "ANDROID_NDK_HOME" when the former didn't work.
So I clicked on the Download button below the disabled search box. After letting android studio do its thing and download another NDK, I restarted android studio, just find out that the search box was disabled, and I couldn't set the NDK path.
Then I went to SDK Manager -> SDK Tools -> I checked the android NDK and CMAKE, then waited for it to download.
But after downloading again, android studio still couldn't find the NDK. I set the environment variables and even restarted my PC.
This thing is extremely frustrating, what the hell have I done wrong ? Please can someone tell me ?
