Is there no Android.mk anymore in android build system?

Question

I last worked on Android application development some while back(on Gingerbread). I came back to it again now.

I have inherited a sample hello-jni project into Android studio. But, there is no Android.mk and I see gradle instead. Is it a new build system and is Android.mk not used anymore?

@quidproquo From when did this change happen? Through out android code, I can see so man yAndroid.mk files still. — Sandeep, Jul 22 '16 at 13:27
you can check out the [answers here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16754643/what-is-gradle-in-android-studio). You can still configure your own build system with ant if you wish — Bill, Jul 22 '16 at 13:29

Android.mk is used only when you need to implement NDK in Android Otherwise its not needed to build the project.

Hello-JNI uses NDK right? Even it is not present here. – Sandeep Jul 22 '16 at 13:25
