Been playing with Android NDK, attempted to build and run a NDK sample via the terminal on Linux... Been on all day... Jumped loops, pulled hair out, met all sorts of problems then finally met Gradle, which broke the camels back! Had fun though believe it or not! hehehe

Baring in mind this is the first time I've come across Gradle, I'm not sure exactly how it works or what... But I've learnt a bit, the thing that put me out to dry is I'm not sure where anything goes, you have to have a project root build.gradle file, then an app root one as well, if you put something wrong in it throws an error... I think after a bit more reading I'll get it... Hopefully!

Its a tool for android development that when ran, it automatically implements many of the build steps required when building a native app, like calling Ant, downloading/linking dependancies, signing the apk file etc etc

I'm getting the gist its really handy, but havent a clue how its all implemented manually, I imagine Eclipse/Android Studio builds all the required files when creating a new project and it all runs behind the IDE... But, I'd like to know how it all grafts by building a project manually... At least that way IMO, you get a better "view" of the system used and have a clearer understanding of it!

Like I said, I'm playing... No rush... But when I first came into contact with it... I was like.. WTF!!!
