title: Android Studio "Current NDK support is deprecated"
body: <p>As of Jan 2015 the NDK support for Android studio is still unusable.
  A cryptic message says: "Alternative will be provided in the future."</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to know what's gradle/google direction on this is since it's impossible to plan a proper development plan at the moment.</p>
  
  <p>Version 0.7+: They suggested to still use ndk-build / ant
  Version 0.8+: They've introduced a minimal NDK support
  Version 1.0.0: It looked like NDK support was going to be official
  Version 1.0.2: It now looks like NDK support is deprecated.</p>
  
  <p>My questions are:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Is everyone reverting to ndk-build and hand made android.mk files?</p></li>
  <li><p>Is anyone using the currently deprecated method on 1.0.0+ (gradle ndk support) on a serious size project?</p></li>
  <li><p>What sort of direction the "Alternative will be provided in the future" would go? Is is possible for any insider to answer that without breaking any company rules?</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Edit: it's not a duplicate because it was referring to the evolution of Android Studio and NDK, the other question refers to a very ancient version of Android Studio as I've detailed in my post the NDK support has changed drastically from version to version without a clear direction, up to now with the release of 1.3</p>
