and don't forget to mention latest ndk version if you seleted android{

 ndkVersion: '25.1.8937393'

}

After specifying ndk version in build.gradle file it is working

android {
        ndkVersion '21.3.6528147'
    }

And inside local.properties remove the following since it's deprecated and also conflicts with path:

ndk.dir=~/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle

Please check your NDK version which you have installed. – Heptode 16/10, 2020 at 22:21

The ndk.dir in the local.properties will work fine for the Gradle Plugin version < 4.1.0 and the Gradle version < 6.5. But, Gradle will complain once you start to use the latest versions. developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin – Londrina 17/10, 2020 at 14:31

I had to put full path to ndk including version: "ndk.dir=[...]\\Android\\Sdk\\ndk\\21.3.6528147" – Gradate 19/10, 2020 at 10:30

I see the NDK dirs (22.0.7026061 and 21.1.6352462) have source.properties. None of the remedies in this answer worked for me. I am using Android Studio 4.1.1 on Mac OS 11.1. – Punchinello 30/12, 2020 at 2:22

I have tried it and it worked. But when I upload the apk to play store it shows a warning ... "This App Bundle contains native code, and you've not uploaded debug symbols.

I had the same issue and solve it : Go to SDK location find NDK folder and check the folders if one of them is empty or corrupted delete it and let the android studio use the latest version you have.

Ruthenious answered 19/10, 2020 at 13:38 Comment(5)

That was the working one. By doing this IDE is auto selecting the last one. It was looking into an empty folder so ofc it couldn't find any source.properties file. Thx ! – Liberty 9/11, 2020 at 9:30

This usually occurs when you cancel the build while it's installing a NDK, you're left with a corrupt/empty folder. – Dallman 29/6, 2021 at 15:15

Yes this worked for me, the ndk-bundle directory was empty so I removed it and voila, everything worked! – Ultrasonics 25/3, 2022 at 0:20

Thanks, for me I had the following structure: sdk -> ndk -> 21.1.6352462 -> .installer and sdk -> ndk -> 21.1.6352462 -> 24.0.8215888 -> build, ... So I used corrupted 21.1.6352462, change to 24.0.8215888 worked for me – Limbert 7/7, 2022 at 5:30

my solution:

to

Ready!

Geronto answered 24/5, 2021 at 17:26 Comment(4)

There is ndk-bundle folder. However your answer helped as I copied the source.properties from 22.1.7171670 to the folder next to it 21.1.6352462 since it was mentioned in the error. Then everything worked – Unifoliolate 2/8, 2021 at 11:39

This is really a strange solution, but I will like to register my thank you - it works perfectly for me! – Superphysical 25/9, 2021 at 9:52

File -> Project Structure -> SDK Location -> "Android NDK Location"
And click "Download" Android NDK. The problem will be solved after downloaded.

Perrotta answered 2/12, 2020 at 13:37 Comment(4)

somehow it can't click download. must manually add on local.properties. – Corelli 10/1, 2021 at 23:22

I downloaded it for a first time. Right away I checked the path was not there and the "download" link was now disabled. But the NDK was indeed installed here (Windows): C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk\22.0.7026061. I just needed to add this path in the file named local.properties (which is in the root of your android project, i.e: path_to_your_project/android/), backslashes escaped, just as the path for sdk.dir – Hatchet 26/1, 2021 at 21:46

For Android studio 4.1.1+ (gradle-plugin: 4.1.1 or above) use ndkVersion

No ndk.dir at local.properties. If there is, remove it

build.gradle (module)

android {
  defaultConfig {
     // ...
     ndkVersion = "21.1.6352462"
  }
}

Note: The specified version must exist at $SDK/ndk folder.

Hype answered 25/11, 2020 at 23:56 Comment(1)

This also works for Flutter. This is the build.gradle inside App. So the directory structure is android/app/build.gradle – Rolo 13/5, 2022 at 12:1

For me, this issue occurred after I upgraded to Android Studio 4.1. To fix this, I had to explicitly pass the path of my NDK directory in my project's local.properties file. It can be done by adding this line in local.properties.

ndk.dir={Path to Android NDK directory}

In my case I don't have ndk dir in the local.properties file and also didn't add ndk version in the build.gradle. I just simply deleted the ndk-bundle folder in the android sdk folder. and it worked.

I was also facing the same problem from a few weeks and I had tried my best but didn't work. Then I downloaded NDK using android studio.

Screenshot of Android Studio

After downloading the NDK also not resolved my problem. Then I visited the SDK folder and found NDK and NDK-bundle. As I know the two folders have the same properties.

I had copied the source.properties file from the NDK \ 23.1.7779620 and pasted it into the NDK-Bundle folder.

Screenshot of source.properties file

It is working perfectly.

This is random error from AS, which is encountered by few developers.

Most likely, you don't have NDK linked in your Android Studio.

I would suggest,

In your Android Studio, Go to File -> Project Structure -> SDK Location -> Under "Android NDK Location", click on "Download" Android NDK

Wait for download and re-build the project. Cheers.

Grania answered 19/10, 2020 at 9:30 Comment(3)

after download ndk you need to add ndk location link to local.properties file like this: ndk.dir=/Users/apple/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle – Drying 16/11, 2020 at 13:8

Brillant! Had this problem after updating to Android Studio 4.1 + Gradle to 6.5. Once you clicked the download button and downloaded the NDK, don't forget to click the "Apply button" to update properly your project. Then click OK. – Quiteris 19/11, 2020 at 10:56

In my case, right after installed the NDK (23.1.7779620), I had to add this line ndk.dir=/home/myuser/Android/Sdk/ndk/23.1.7779620 to my local.properties – Kbp 16/3, 2022 at 22:37

download NDK in setting, fix that issue.
If you cant click Download. manually add this path to your local.properties file

Android studio 4.1.1 can not set Android NDK Location on Project Structure, you need edit local.properties file and add

ndk.dir=/Users/yourname/Library/Android/sdk/ndk/21.3.6528147

on build.gradle file ndk version is:21.3.6528147

ext.versions = [
        'minSdk': 19,
        'targetSdk': 30,
        'compileSdk': 30,
        'kotlin': '1.4.10',

Make sure you have downloaded and installed NDK bundle under Sdk directory. If not open SDK Manager. Install it by checking NDK(Side by side)

Restart the IDE and try it again. If further any problem, pls add this code in build.gradle file

android {
    ........

    defaultConfig {
        .........

        ndkVersion '22.1.7171670' // Your downloaded NDK version
    }
}

Note: Keep your local.properties file like bellow:

sdk.dir=C:\\Users\\User\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\sdk # My installed SDK location
flutter.buildMode=debug
flutter.versionName=1.0.0
flutter.versionCode=1

ndk.dir=c\:\\Users\\DanielWaiguru\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk\\ndk\\22.1.7171670

has been deprecated and the AGP should set the default ndk version but in case it doesn't, specify a specific version of ndk in your build.gradle as follows

android {
    ndkVersion <version> 
}

for example

ndkVersion "22.1.7171670"

Just go to:

In the SDK tools, locate ndk and tick "show package details."
Download the ndk error version displaying on your console.
Make sure you've cmake sdk also installed

Things to be checked if you are facing this error:

Check whether Ndk location is specified or not in local.properties file.

If not, go to the NDK location inside your sdk folder,if there are multiple ndk versions delete previous versions if you don't need. Go inside the latest version folder and check whether source.properties file is present or not. Copy the folder path and specify the path in the local.properties file.

For me it is

ndk.dir=C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk\22.0.6917172

In app level build.gradle file specify the version number if it is incorrect

For me it is

android {

ndkVersion '22.0.6917172'

}

Important note:

The value for ndk.dir should no longer be set in your app's local.properties file, and support for this ndk.dir setting will be removed in a future version. The Android Gradle Plugin sets the NDK version by default, but if you need a specific version of the NDK, you can set android.ndkVersion in build.gradle.

I am using Android Studio 4.1.1 on MacOS 11.1. None of the above solutions worked for me. What worked for me was not a reconfiguration of gradle files but a simple reconfiguration of the NDK package.

cd ~/Library/Android/sdk/ndk/22.0.7026061
cp android-ndk-r22/source.properties .

The root cause for this is: for a specific buildToolsVersion, might come with a default ndk version, but this version of ndk might not located under the ndk.dir, so a simple fix would be

android {
    ndkVersion <an existing version of ndk>
}

ndk.dir = C:\\Users\\MACOWIGO\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk\\ndk\\22.1.7171670

then on the build.gradle file add the following line

buildscript { ext { buildToolsVersion = "29.0.3" minSdkVersion = 21 compileSdkVersion = 29 targetSdkVersion = 29 ndkVersion = "22.1.7171670" }

nake sure the ndk version provided on the build.gradle file is the same as the one provided/written in local.properties file

For Flutter projects:

Run the command flutter clean in your android studio terminal.

Then add the ndk version in the defaultConfig in the file at this location: android > app > build.gradle, just like shown below:

2.If no then go to NDK folder location /Users/yourname/Library/Android/sdk/ndk/ Delete all folder that start with "ndk" like ndk , ndk-bundle . Rebuild project

Android studio let you download the latest ndk and that is vry much correct answer and i have tried that too.But my point is if you application uses NDK then only update the NDK otherwise just remove the NDK folders as mentioned in 2nd point. Just randomly downloading latest ndk does not make sense if you really don't use it. – Castellany 20/6, 2021 at 8:39

In my case running several Flutter builds, it seems I had an older NDK version installed that I no longer needed. Removing that via SDK Manager fixed the issue

> NDK at /Users/gene/tools/android-sdk-macosx/ndk/21.1.6352462 did not have a source.properties file

Trying the answers here to update the SDK, I removed the offending NDK version, with plan to refresh the update. However, after then trying to run the app without bringing back that older NDK, all apps then built successfully

The error suggest that the ndk version installed has missed source.properties file, SO change ndkVersion on build.gradle onto correctly installed ndk version with that file OR if missing re-install ndk.

For me the problem was that a previous attempt to automatically download and install a certain NDK version during a build failed due to insufficient disk space. That left the $ANDROID_HOME/ndk folder in an inconsistent state (it had an almost empty folder 25.1.8937393).

Solution:

cd $ANDROID_HOME/ndk
rm -rf 25.1.8937393

Check the contents of the folder beforehand and adjust the version according to the error message.
