Error: No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: llvm

Question

I want to compile an open source android project (Netguard) using gradel (gradlew clean build) But I encountered this Error:

A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Exception thrown while executing model rule: NdkComponentModelPlugin.Rules#cre

I serached but didn't find enything helping. Here is the main build.gradle:

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle-experimental:0.6.0-alpha1'

}
allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()

}
task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir

And here is the build.gradle of the app project:

Two years has passed, now if you come across here, you may possibly encounterd error message like this:

No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix mips64el-linux-android

or

No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix mipsel-linux-android

Latest NDK removed support for mips abi, and earler version of android gradle plugin still check for the existance of mips toolchain. see here for more info.

Solution: Upgrade android gradle plugin to 3.1 or newer.

e.g. Add following in the project level gradle [28-Sept-2018]

 classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0"

Workaround: Create mipsel-linux-android folder structure to fool the tool. The easiest way would be to symbolic link to aarch64-linux-android-4.9.

# on Mac
cd  ~/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle/toolchains
ln -s aarch64-linux-android-4.9 mips64el-linux-android
ln -s arm-linux-androideabi-4.9 mipsel-linux-android

The "on Mac" workaround works fine (adapt ~/Library part). But the next update of NDK (2018 Oct 14) found a whole bunch of unexpected files in the mips* trees. Not surprising. So I removed the symbolic links again. – Quigi Oct 15 '18 at 06:45

I upgraded to AS 3.2.1 and got this stupid dependency failure even though the project I'm building doesn't use NDK. I upgraded the project Gradle as per the instructions in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17727645/how-to-update-gradle-in-android-studio and went through two passes of upgrades, including tools. Finally AS is back to baseline functionality. Gradle's purpose is to make these build problems go away, but maintaining Gradle is its own source of the problems. – Matthew Nov 14 '18 at 20:45

The work around no longer works in android studio 3.3 on mac. After creating symbolic links receiving an index out of bounds -1 error during the gradle sync.

You can check your native dependencies' SO files, if any. It may contain SO for MIPS that is not supported anymore, thus making NDK fail. Removing those SO files for MIPS is safe, and it will make error disappear. – fobo66 Sep 24 '20 at 08:27

For Android studio 3.2.1+

Upgrade your Gradle Plugin

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'

If you are now getting this error:

Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1.

just add google() to your repositories, like this:

repositories {

I have faced the same problem while update Android studio from 2.0 to 2.1 in my Windows 8 machine.

I found a solution for that.Please use the following steps.

Download the android NDK for windows from https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/index.html.
Extract the same and copy the "toolchain" folder from the bundle.
Paste the folder under installed NDK folder under C:\android-sdk-win\ndk-bundle.[Installed the path may vary based on your installation]
Restart android studio.

This is happening because Android studio won't gets full NDK update in the stable channel. If you are not using NDK for your project development you can simply remove the NDK folder from your SDK directory.

Error message:

No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: llvm.

After fresh web installation of Android Studio with NDK, I imported an Android code sample that used NDK from GitHub and tried to compile it.

As a result had an Error:

No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: llvm

Solution: for some reasons standard installation process on macOS had failed to install a complete set:

~/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle had missed folder toolchains with all tools,

(it should be like this: ~/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle/toolchains)

The solution was to download NDK separately, open it, copy folder toolchain and paste it to the folder:

~/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle

Step-by-step:

1) Open the page with old NDK versions:

https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/older_releases

2) Agree the Terms:

3) Download the older version of NDK (for example 16b):

4) Open your toolchains directory.

5) Transfer files that you need from toolchains folder of downloaded zip-file to your toolchains folder:

6) Rebuild the Project:

UPD 30 Sep 2018:
I used Android NDK Revision r16b for fix this error in my own case. So I present the example with this version.
But it's better to use the Android NDK, Revision r17c (June 2018). It is the last one, supporting mips (reasonable reccomendation from Weekend's comment).

Instead of `(for example 16b)`, it's better to clarify which NDK version is the last one supporting mips. via [release note of Android NDK Revision r17c (June 2018)](https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/revision_history): _Support for ARMv5 (armeabi), MIPS, and MIPS64 has been removed. Attempting to build any of these ABIs will result in an error._ It's `16b` exactly. – Weekend Sep 30 '18 at 06:02

@Oh, I read your previous comment so very quickly. That's why I missed the point. My apologize! But these files are still present in the Android NDK, Revision r17c (June 2018). And in version 18 they were finally removed. Just look into the archive. https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/older_releases#ndk-17c-downloads – V.March Oct 08 '18 at 14:15

Without downloading, copying, or symlinking anything, I was able to "fix" the error by simply creating an empty directory where the older version of the Android Gradle plugin expects the removed mips toolchain:

mkdir -p $ANDROID_HOME/ndk-bundle/toolchains/mips64el-linux-android/prebuilt/linux-x86_64

Obviously, $ANDROID_HOME points to the root of the Android SDK installation here. If you are using MacOS, replace linux-x86_64 with darwin-x86_64 in the command above. On Windows use windows-x86_64.

In my case, this error occured when creating a new Android Studio (Android studio 3.2.1) Java Project with

    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-beta6'

So I´ve downgraded to

       dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
      }

Not the best solution stay at an older version, but maybe it´s just a temporary bug in the beta as the NDK path in local.properties is still the same, but the IDE doesn´t complain anymore

Android NDK 18.0* seems has an issue not creating all the files in folders after extraction. Due to it, your app compilation will fail which uses ndk builds.

Better is to use NDK 17.1* (https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/) etc version and you can extract or use the android studio extraction to ndk-bundle by default will work good.

For people trying out this example and facing issues with latest NDK. Can follow this solution. In build.gradle change this

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'

To

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'

The reason is mips are deprecated in the latest ndk versions, Gradle version 3.1.2 will not have a compulsion for mips. It assumes the presence for these missing folders.

When compiling a project in android studio, I occasionally encounter:

Error: No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: arm-linux-androideabi/llvm

This may be caused by updating related components. The solution is to Android studio ( Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager ) . Select the ndk item and delete it. If the program needs it, you can re-install it. This will ensure that the folder location is correct and there will be no such problem.

I've had a similar problem, but I wanted to use NDK version r9d due to project requirements.

In local.properties the path was set to ndk.dir=C\:\\Android\\ndk\\android-ndk-r9d but that lead to the problem:

No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: [toolchain-name]

The solution was to:

Install the newest NDK using sdk manager
Copy the missing toolchain [toolchain-name] from the new ndk to the old. In my case from sdk\ndk-bundle\toolchains to \ndk\android-ndk-r9d\toolchains
Repeat the process till all the required toolchains are there

It looks to me that the copied toolchains are not used, but for some reason it is needed to for them be there.

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
    }

to change like

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
    }

I navigated to local.properties, and in there the

ndk.dir=/yo/path/for/NDK

line needs to be updated to where your ndk lies.

I was using Crystax NDK, and didn't realize the original Android NDK was still in use.

Find your own local android-SDK, if you download the relevant SDK of ndk, there will be a folder called "ndk-bundle"

There is a folder called "toolchains" inside.

We noticed that there are no mips64el related files inside.

The solution is as follows:

Click here to download the NDK package separately through the browser. After unzipping, open the "toolchains" folder, compare it with the android-sdk->ndk-bundle->toolchains folder, find the missing folder, copy the past three. Recompile, the problem is solved.

To fix it like i did

Android Studio File> project structure and go to project

change Gradle version to 4.6 & Android plugin version to 3.2.1

check screenshot

then clean project if you got this Error "Could not find aapt2-proto.jar"

go to build.gradle (project)

Try moving the google() method (.gradle file) to the top of its execution block the order of repositories it searches in that causes the issue.

for example, change this:

repositories {
  maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
  google()      <===  from here
  mavenCentral()
}

To this:

repositories {
  google()     <===  to here
  maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
  mavenCentral()
}

Make those changes in both "buildscript" and "allprojects "

check screenshot

If you didn't find google() add it

The issue comes mostly when you are cloning a previous project specially from github. What you can do is

Change the classpath to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'

in your project level gradle.

Then Change all the instances of compile with implementation except compileSdkVersion keep it as it is in your app level gradle.
Instead of sync now click on make project(Ctrl+F9)
Add google maven repositories if needed.
Upgrade the gradle wrapper if needed.

(Android Studio IDE will ask / guide you with the same for steps 4 and 5)

I try to solve the problem using following method:

Stay Android build tools version the same with gradle version. For example:if you use the build tools version is 3.3.0,your gradle version must be 4.10.1.You can reference by the link https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin and chagne your build tools & gradle version in your AS(File->Project Structure->Project)
If method1 don't work,you can custom your ndk toolchains version to solve the problem :like download ndk18 or ndk16 , setting the ndk path is your AS(File->Project Structure->SDK Location->Android NDK Location)

Downloaded android ndk from

https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/index.html

and placed inside ndk-bundle (where your android sdk is installed ). For more info check this screens.

First, try updating the ndk version https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/

If that's not working then you can try the following:

Create a folder

Go to the Sdk\ndk-bundle\toolchains folder (in my case its C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk-bundle\toolchains; you can find yours under File->project structure->SDK location in you android studio) and create a folder with the name that's shown as missing in the error for eg: if the error is

Gradle sync failed: No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: mipsel-linux-android

Then create a folder with name mipsel-linux-android
Include content Go to the Sdk\ndk-bundle\toolchains folder again and open any folder that's already in it. For example:Sdk\ndk-bundle\toolchains\aarch64-linux-android-4.9 (in mycase C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk-bundle\toolchains\aarch64-linux-android-4.9) copy the prebuilt folder in it to the folder we created in the last step

From NDK r19b:

This version of the NDK is incompatible with the Android Gradle plugin version 3.0 or older. If you see an error like No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: mips64el-linux-android, update your project file to [use plugin version 3.1 or newer].

The steps I have followed to fix the issue are as follows:

Analyze -> Code Cleanup
File -> Project Structures -> Select project from the list and update the gradle version to latest.
Build -> Clean Project
Build -> Make Project

Now the issue related to the build may get reported like using compile instead of implementation etc.

If you want to add NDK in your project then follow below steps:

If you installed NDK using SDK Manager then uninstall first. (untick from SDK tools and apply)
Download manually NDK from its official site. (any version) if project old then prefer version 17.
Extract that file.
Go to your project structure > NDK path > add Extracted file path here.
Build Project.

Uninstall the older version of SDK from IntellJ IDEA -> Appearance -> System Settings -> Android SDK -> SDK platforms.

Install the new Android SDK version whatever version you want.

While installing the new SDK, uncheck the NDK checkbox under SDK tools.

To continue with your older gradle version, we can use below solution:

Notice the file android-ndk-r17-beta2/toolchains/mips64el-linux-android- 4.9/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/NOTICE-MIPS64. The content of the file is below.

This mips64el-linux-android-4.9 directory exists to make the NDK compatible with the Android SDK's Gradle plugin, version 3.0.1 and earlier, which expects the NDK to have a MIPS64 toolchain directory.

So, i can say, using Android SDK's Gradle plugin above 3.0.1, or create even a directory marked with 'mipsel' and 'mips64el', can both resolve the problem. The latter method is below.

cd "path-to-ndk"

OS_=$(uname -s | tr [A-Z] [a-z])
mkdir -p toolchains/mipsel-linux-android-4.9/prebuilt/${OS_}-x86_64
touch toolchains/mipsel-linux-android-4.9/prebuilt/${OS_}-x86_64/NOTICE-MIPS
mkdir -p toolchains/mips64el-linux-android-4.9/prebuilt/${OS_}-x86_64
touch toolchains/mips64el-linux-android-4.9/prebuilt/${OS_}-x86_64/NOTICE-MIPS64
