Android NDK location not configurable

Question

In project settings (File -> Project Structure) 'Android NDK location' field is greyed out:

Clicking on 'Download Android NDK' briefly displays some dialog. There are several versions of NDK installed:

What is wrong with my setup?

Host: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Android Studio 4.1.1 Build #AI-201.8743.12.41.6953283, built on November 5, 2020 Runtime version: 1.8.0_242-release-1644-b3-6222593 amd64 VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o Linux 4.15.0-128-generic GC: ParNew, ConcurrentMarkSweep Memory: 2014M Cores: 4 Registry: ide.new.welcome.screen.force=true, external.system.auto.import.disabled=true, debugger.watches.in.variables=false Non-Bundled Plugins: com.intellij.ideolog, org.jetbrains.kotlin Current Desktop: LXDE

Leave SDK Location ;) we can still select from Files> Project Structure> Modules> NDK Version

Or, Simply Add

ndkVersion '22.0.7026061'

in build.gradle(app) like this

externalNativeBuild {
    ndkBuild {
        path file('src/main/jni/Android.mk')
    }
}

ndkVersion '22.0.7026061' // your desire version

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}

Extra Tips:--- you can set path variable here
Still App not Building for NDK ??
1. Close Android Studio.
2. Delete .temp folder located C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk (if exist)
3. Delete Options Folder located in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\
4. Delete NDK or ndk-bundle folder located in your SDK directory... in my case D:\Android\SDK\ndk
5. Now clean temps from SDK Manager > Optimize disk Space [don't worry it will not delete your essential files]
6. Now, install your desire NDK version from SDK Manager

Thank you, however this workaround does not answer the question — Andriy, Mar 17 '21 at 15:27
are you sure you have the exact version of what the project seeking? if not click on the download text may solve the issue. — Hassan Uddin, Dec 11 '21 at 16:41

I had this problem and by setting NDK value in local.properties file of my project, that problem gone

ndk.dir=D\:\\mySdkFolder\\sdk\\myNdkFolder
sdk.dir=D\:\\mySdkFolder\\sdk

@Andriy yeah but the path added in local.properties shows in the ndk location field. so for me I use local.properties to edit the ndk location. – Mohamed Shannan Mar 01 '21 at 08:42

With a project open, click Tools > SDK Manager.

Click the SDK Tools tab.

Select the NDK (Side by side) and CMake checkboxes.
