Cant't config downloaded (zip) NDK for Android Studio (windows 7)

Question

so I tried to download NDK from StandAlone SDK manager and it didn't have the option! then I went to google developers and read some guides and understood how to get it via android Studio

there was an NDK option in SDK manager -> SDK tools tab , I checked it and after applying it started downloading it, but for some reason after download, it fails to install it (tried 2 time it fails at end of unzipping process at like 100% :| ) ***Note: I have enough space available, 4gb on windows drive, 20gb on SDK drive ***Note2: I deleted the NDK bundle folder and its contents created by the failed install in my SDK folder

so I went to NDK Download and downloaded the package from there , but I can't get it to work, gradle says "Error:NDK not configured. Download it with SDK manager.)"

I tried adding the NDKfolder to PATH variable or adding NDK_HOME variable but still the same error

Update 1 : I added ANDROID_NDK_HOME variable now it says : Error:A problem occurred configuring project ':TMessagesProj'.

Answer 1

I had this issue of

Error:NDK not configured. Download it with SDK manager.)

But I solved my problem with this link: Add C and C++ to your Project

you can skip to the heading Download the NDK and Build Tools, but read everything for knowledge.

Answer 2

This error might be, your Android Studio is not able to find the NDK location.

So, try doing this: right click on your project in Android Studio,select "Open Module Settings", select SDK location tab, and provide SDK and NDK locations.
