Can't setup Android NDK location in Android Studio

Question

I set default location for AndroidSDK and JDK, but I can't set location for Android NDK - the field is grayed out.

I downloaded NDK to some folder, set up ANDROID_NDK_HOME and NDK_HOME vars. What's wrong?

I needed to install NDK for my react-native project, but same I couldn't set it up in android studio because it was grayed out...

Here is what worked for me (based on protossor answer in this post):

In android studio go to File -> Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools -> and install NDK (Side by side)
Set up the enviromental virables NDK_HOME and NDK_MODULE_PATH (in my case both: C:\Users\piotr\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk\23.0.7123448 )
Finally in app/build.gradle change ndkVersion for exactly the one u have installed. For me like this:

So I can't have NDK in different directory? I can set it up in Android project, but not as default folder – Bohdan Bessonov Oct 31 '17 at 13:38
Update: I used your way, folder is set, but I can change it ONLY in specific project, and not globally – Bohdan Bessonov Oct 31 '17 at 13:40

Where is above image mentioned in your text? what is name of the environment variable that supposed to add? also the button squared red in your "below image" is still disabled even if NDK is extracted in that folder. – AaA Jun 10 '19 at 12:59

It was grayed for me too.

I fixed the problem by adding the NDK location to my local.properties file, eg:

ndk.dir=/Users/myusername/Library/Android/sdk/ndk/22.1.7171670
