I am REALLY new to Android Studio and I was moving to fast and removed something from my code...now I keep getting an error message & my gradle sync fails.

I see the following in the log:

My code basically says nothing: NOTE: AppCompatActivity is in red currently

import android.media.Image;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ImageButton;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class HomeScreen extends AppCompatActivity {

    ImageButton musicEnable_ImageButton;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_home_screen);

        musicEnable_ImageButton = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.soundEnable_button);
        musicEnable_ImageButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v){
                musicEnable_ImageButton.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.musicon1);
            }
        });
    }

I've just started to get this error, out of the blue. I don't think it has anything to do with the code you've posted, given that mine is of course different. Did you manage to solve this? I'm searching for a solution now. – brandall
@brandall after searching a while I finally found a solution: Go to Tools>Android>SDK Manager then, on the SDK Tools view, uncheck Android NDK & click Apply (confirm the selection). This will uninstall your NDK, then simply check it and hit apply & it will reinstall (it takes forever). When it finally finishes try to build & run your app again and it should work. – 1QuickQuestion

The solution for me was the following:

  1. Open project in Android Studio
  2. Wait for sync to finish
  3. Click on File -> Project structure -> SDK Location
  4. At Android NDK Location, if you don't have any NDK, install one
  5. Select an existing NDK location.

That should fix it.

Just add this line to your local.properties in android folder: ndk.dir=/Users/apatrck03/Library/Android/sdk/ndk/23.0.7123448

whatever your ndk version is (-:

Installing an older NDK version (20.. or lower) from android studio seems to solve the problem. Higher versions don't solve the issue.

Go to your Android Folder and add your ndk like this ->

ndk.dir={Android Folder location}/Sdk/ndk/{Your ndk version}

last view like this->

ndk.dir=/home/picoder/Android/Sdk/ndk/21.3.6528147

To check NDK version
