Android - NDK platforms missing?

Question

See the following terminal paste on my system. As you can see, I seem to have several SDK platforms installed for which there is no NDK avaiable:

rutski@electron :~/Documents/sdk/android-ndk/platforms$ android list targets | grep 'android-' id: 1 or "android-3" id: 2 or "android-4" id: 3 or "android-7" id: 4 or "android-8" id: 5 or "android-10" id: 6 or "android-11" id: 7 or "android-12" id: 8 or "android-13" rutski@electron :~/Documents/sdk/android-ndk/platforms$ ls android-3 android-4 android-5 android-8 android-9 

What is the deal here? Is my NDK installed broken or is there a good reason for this?

It also seems that I have Android-9 as an NDK, but not as an SDK; but I swear I installed all the SDKs available with the Android tool. (one).

Answer 1

According to the NDK documentation, what would be android-6 and android-7 would be the same as android-5 . I assume that now they just delete duplicate directories and that API levels that are not shown are handled by the next available.

If you experience actual symptoms (for example, you cannot create the NDK application for Honeycomb), send a question with a description of these symptoms either here or in the Google android-ndk group. If you do not experience symptoms and simply confuse the directory structure, I would not worry about that.
