@n4nn31355: AFAIK gradle/Android Studio references ANDROID_NDK_HOME. What software or build systems use ANDROID_NDK_HOME? It's fine to have 2 or 3 variables, but more will be a problem, so I want to add the most common ones only.

yan12125: On current moment variable ANDROID_NDK_ROOT used as well as ANDROID_NDK_HOME. Could you add this envvar to android-ndk.sh?

I suggest disabling compression as it's not necessary for locally built packages. In /etc/makepkg.conf, change the following line:

PKGEXT='.pkg.tar.xz'

into:

PKGEXT='.pkg.tar'

marmistrz: You disk speed doesn't matter much because xz compressing is consuming a lot of CPU. You can set something like COMPRESSXZ=(xz -c -z - -T12) in /etc/makepkg.conf to utilize multi cores. Or you can disable compression if you don't need it.

On my computer compressing the package takes about 20-25 minutes. Is this expected (I have an SSD drive)

@niqingliang2003: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/android-sdk-ndk-symlink/ can make it

the sdk manager of android studio will lookup ndk from /opt/android-sdk/ndk-bundle.

so maybe installing android-ndk into /opt/android-sdk/ndk-bundle will be better?

Adopted and updated to r15b. Please tell me if there are any more problems.

@xyproto, thanks for feedback. Installation was successful when retrying. On the failed attempt I overrode the "Compressing package" part (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127894), which might have caused it. Partition was not full.

It seems the root cause of my problem was not what android-ndk I used but rather I needed to install https://aur.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/packages/ncurses5-compat-libs and then https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libtinfo to get android-ndk to find libtinfo.so.5.
