I bet you don't use the NDK then.

Nope, I don't.

Then as info:

- Gradle still doesn't provide half of the functionality of the ndk-build scripts

- Studio still not up to what Eclipse CDT provided

- We NDK users were left dry while they figure out how to provide proper support

For both NDK and SDK, lots of bugs to choose from:

Then going back to the SDK, any professional Android developer can enumerate lots of issues when you need to get information.

Also I am yet to see a release of the support library that isn't followed by complaints in G+.

I sympathise with your problem and I understand it must be pretty shitty. But Java is the main language for Android, C/C++ support is via NDK. Since a majority of devs write in Java, naturally more emphasis is given on the Java ecosystem and not the NDK, which is definitely sad. Also, what big Open Source project doesn't have issues? Could you name one?
