Android NDK Reviews & Product Details

I like that Android NDK gives me the power to write parts of my Android app in C and C++ for better performance. It integrates fairly well with Android Studio and Gradle, and once configured, it runs smoothly. The number of features it offers for native development is impressive — from low-level hardware access to native libraries. It’s great for optimizing performance-critical areas and reusing existing C/C++ code. I use it regularly for modules that need speed or complex computations.

The biggest challenge with this software is its steep learning curve. Both using and implementing it can be quite difficult, especially for developers who lack experience with native code. Debugging is often slow and can be confusing, as even minor build errors may take a significant amount of time to fix. Integrating the software with Java or Kotlin sometimes results in unexpected issues. Customer support is only communities and forums Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Android NDK allows me to integrate C and C++ code directly into my Android apps, which greatly enhances the performance of critical components. I consider it reliable and well-documented, and its seamless compatibility with Android Studio makes it much easier to optimize applications for improved performance and to make use of existing native libraries.

Setting up and building the project can be difficult for those new to the process, and working through issues in native code is often quite tedious. Additionally, handling cross-platform C or C++ code alongside Android Java or Kotlin usually increases the complexity of the entire project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Android NDK lets me use C and C++ in my Android projects, which really helps improve performance for heavy apps. It works smoothly with Android Studio and the documentation is clear enough to get started without much hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup can be a little tricky at first, and debugging native code isn’t as easy as working with Java or Kotlin. Sometimes version updates cause small compatibility issues, which can be a bit frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that android apps can be written natively in C/C++ and not Java, this allows apps to get fine grain access to the system and can also gain a lot of performance. In addition, it is much harder to reverse engineer an app using NDK than the java or kotlin SDK. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how complex the NDK can be, it certainly is useful and loved by many game developers but it is not for the faint-hearted. In addition, less 3rd party libraries are available for the NDK in comparison to the SDK (Java/Kotlin). In addition JNI calls are still slow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Is very helpful in developing applications, games, basically helps you increase the performance and other security concerns of your product. Writing code has become a bit easy with this. It allows you to use C/C++code in your android apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Android NDK has some specific uses and can't/should not be used for everyday development. It is difficult for beginners and newbies to understand the functioning and hence some demos would be needed and also would be beneficial Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used to Extract the native C/CPP code implementation in Android applications and use it on the native android side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A little bit difficult to implement when you use the third party libs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the NDK i can complie the thirt party CPP Library and make bridges from CPP to java. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a tricky to use for new android devs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing you can do with NDK is, you can use the C/C++ libraries on the android platform with your java code. NDK enables you to access the low-level architecture of android. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Developer documentation uses very high-level language, and it's quite hard to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's universally support cross platform by just putting their generated file. well understanding & appotunities explore us to go dive on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The core knowledge of C & C++ must.

So anyone who is expertise on above languages, so he isuch more capable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the most about android ndk is we can write code in c/c++ and comile in native android. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike about android ndk is that it's takes longer time and is hard to maintain the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
