Android NDK APP_STL gnustl_shared is no longer supported

Question

I am buiding an android NDK project with Android Studio 3.3 Canady 11, when build project, I got this error:

Build command failed. Error while executing process /home/ndqa/opt/Android-SDK/ndk-bundle/ndk-build with argument {NDK_PROJECT_PATH=null APP_BUILD_SCRIPT=/home/ndqa/Documents/PROJ/code/MyProj/app/src/main/cpp/Android.mk NDK_APPLICATION_MK=/home/ndqa/Documents/PROJ/code/MyProj/app/src/main/cpp/Application.mk APP_ABI=armeabi-v7a NDK_ALL_ABIS=armeabi-v7a NDK_DEBUG=1 APP_PLATFORM=android-23 NDK_OUT=/home/ndqa/Documents/PROJ/code/MyProj/app/build/intermediates/ndkBuild/debug/obj NDK_LIBS_OUT=/home/ndqa/Documents/PROJ/code/MyProj/app/build/intermediates/ndkBuild/debug/lib APP_PLATFORM=android-21 -j10 APP_SHORT_COMMANDS=false LOCAL_SHORT_COMMANDS=false -B -n}

/home/ndqa/opt/Android-SDK/ndk-bundle/build/core/add-application.mk:178: *** Android NDK: APP_STL gnustl_shared is no longer supported. Please switch to either c++_static or c++_shared. See https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/cpp-support.html for more information. . Stop.

My machine is Ubuntu 18 and it has android SDK, NDK full. Plsease help me fix this issue. Thank all!

Update If I replaced gnustl_shared with either c++_static or c++_shared, it shows more error:

APP_STL gnustl_shared is no longer supported. Please switch to either c++_static or c++_shared. See https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/cpp-support.html for more information. . Stop. Error says what to do — Vygintas B
dear Vygintas B, I replaced gnustl_shared in Application.mk with c++_static or c++_shared but it so more error — Ha Noi Chieu Mua
"but it so more error" If you expect anyone to be able to help with a problem you need to specify what the problem is. For example, including the full, exact error message(s) in your question. — Michael
That doesn't appear to be a complete log. I don't see any errors in that block of text. — Dan Albert
its is Build command failed. Error while executing process /home/ndqa/opt/Android-SDK/ndk-bundle/..... — Ha Noi Chieu Mua

switch APP_STL := gnustl_static to either c++_static or c++_shared in file Application.mk

APP_STL := c++_static

The Android OS switched to clang several years ago. Future versions of the NDK will remove GCC, so the sooner you start testing your project with clang the better!

For ndk-build, remove lines setting NDK_TOOLCHAIN or NDK_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION.

For cmake, remove lines setting ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN.

For standalone toolchains, use the clang/clang++ binaries instead of gcc/g++.

For other build systems, ask the owners of that build system.
