Root Cause

NDK/CMake native build failed. Missing NDK version, wrong CMake config, or native source errors.

generic

Workarounds

  1. 92% success Install the exact NDK version specified in build.gradle 
    android { ndkVersion '25.2.9519653' }; install via SDK Manager > SDK Tools > NDK (Side by side)

    Sources: https://developer.android.com/reference/

  2. 85% success Verify CMakeLists.txt paths and target architectures 
    Check CMakeLists.txt target_link_libraries and add_library paths; ensure source files exist
  3. 80% success Set specific ABI filters to reduce build targets 
    android { defaultConfig { ndk { abiFilters 'arm64-v8a', 'x86_64' } } }  // skip armeabi-v7a if not needed

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Install the latest NDK version regardless of project requirements 82% fail

    Projects often require a specific NDK version. Wrong version causes ABI and header incompatibilities.

  2. Delete the .cxx folder and rebuild 65% fail

    Only helps with stale CMake cache. If NDK version or CMakeLists.txt is wrong, same error returns.
