If the NDK version which is preinstalled on the Android stack is not the one you want to use, you can install any version via a Script step.
Simply add a Script step as the very first step in the workflow, with the following content:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -ex
# set env vars
export ANDROID_NDK_VERSION='r15b'
export ANDROID_NDK_HOME='/opt/android-ndk'
# expose for subsequent steps
envman add --key ANDROID_NDK_HOME --value "$ANDROID_NDK_HOME"
# ------------------------------------------------------
# --- Android NDK
# clean up if a previous version is already installed
rm -rf "$ANDROID_NDK_HOME"
# download
mkdir /opt/android-ndk-tmp
cd /opt/android-ndk-tmp
wget -q https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-${ANDROID_NDK_VERSION}-linux-x86_64.zip
# uncompress
unzip -q android-ndk-${ANDROID_NDK_VERSION}-linux-x86_64.zip
# move to its final location
mv ./android-ndk-${ANDROID_NDK_VERSION} ${ANDROID_NDK_HOME}
# remove temp dir
cd ${ANDROID_NDK_HOME}
rm -rf /opt/android-ndk-tmp
# add to PATH
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_NDK_HOME}
# expose for subsequent steps
envman add --key PATH --value "$PATH"
Don’t forget to specify the version, at the top of the script (ANDROID_NDK_VERSION variable - in this example it’s set to r15b).
That’s all!

ANDROID_NDK_HOME is already added to PATH in Dockerfile: https://github.com/bitrise-docker/android-ndk/blob/master/Dockerfile#L30
Value of ANDROID_NDK_HOME is not changed so there should be no need to append it again to PATH.
You’re right in case of the bitrise.io environment, but this #how-to was created as a generic guide, which can work even locally on your own Mac/PC
Hi! Thank you for the script! Nevertheless, I was trying to include it in my builds and faced the following problem:
+ unzip -q android-ndk-r10e-linux-x86_64.zip
replace android-ndk-r10e/platforms/android-21/arch-arm/usr/include/linux/netfilter/xt_CONNMARK.h? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: NULL
(EOF or read error, treating as "[N]one" ...)

Any hints on what is failing and how to fix it? Thank you!

It seems that you are either calling that unzip twice or there is android-ndk-r10e produced in some other way.
If it is intended that you have an existing android-ndk-r10e directory and want to unzip NDK there you can just add o option to unizip. So it will be unzip -qo android-ndk-${ANDROID_NDK_VERSION}-linux-x86_64.zip.
Thanks for the reply. Indeed there seems to be already an existing android-ndk-r10e directory.
I ended up using echo "A" | unzip -q android-ndk-r10e-linux-x86_64.zip Which takes the A as the response to the prompt question.
As a side note I needed also to use the -darwin version instead of the linux one.
I also made a step that can handle both Linux and Mac: https://github.com/viktorbenei/bitrise-step-install-android-ndk-version
As it’s not shared in the StepLib (we probably will include this logic in another step and not have a separate one just for the NDK install) you can include it with the git:: reference style in your bitrise.yml:
- git::https://github.com/viktorbenei/bitrise-step-install-android-ndk-version.git@master:
inputs:
- android_ndk_version: r12b
Once added to the bitrise.yml you can use the UI to change the version, or just change the version in the YML (in this example above it’ll install r12b).
Thank you very much.
Ensure required Android SDK components
Retrying...
Failed to ensure android components, error: output: > Configure project :app
NDK is missing a "platforms" directory.
But after I added they install ndk step from Viktor, everything works fine.
Thanks for this “custom” step.
