Question

After updating Android Studio to version 2021.1.1 (Android Studio Bumblebee), I'm getting the following error on trying to sync gradle files

ModelCache.safeGet(androidProjectResult.androidProject::getNdkVersion, "") must not be null

This is the further stack trace

Add ndk path in android.ndkPath

Or

Add ndkVersion '23.0.7599858' (If you use this approach then in some case you have to add version in other library module if they use ndk)

My project was working fine without adding `ndkPath` earlier, is there any way I can go without adding `ndkPath` to the gradle build file as this is a project used by multiple people. – Rawlin Crasto Jan 27 '22 at 11:00

@RawlinCrasto In new `Android Studio Bumblebee | 2021.1.1` when you create new project by selecting Native C++ from templates in this project there is no path or version of ndk defined so what you have to try is upgrade gradle version and also update **gradle-wrapper.properties** accordingly I didn't try but maybe that will help – Bhavin Patel Jan 27 '22 at 11:27

Try to update to Android Gradle Plugin 4.2.0+

and check the license, it works for me

yes | ${sdk}/cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager --licenses

You are right, AS 2021.1.1 is not compatible with AGP 4.1.0+. – ipcjs Feb 16 '22 at 11:14

I had this error and fixed it by going into my project's local.properties and adding the following line to it:

ndk.dir=C\:\\Users\\myusername\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk\\ndk\\23.1.7779620

I would try it with whatever your path to your ndk directory is.

Edit: after a while when I tried to sync gradle I needed to fix this issue again, which I did by going into File -> Project Structure and selecting the latest ndk version under Modules -> Properties.

Edit 2: After invalidating my cache and restarting, I needed to fix this again and the above solution did not work. I was initially hesitant to add this to my build.gradle as other people share this project, but nothing else worked for me. Here it is:

android {
   ndkPath "C:\\Users\\myusername\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk\\ndk\\23.1.7779620"
}

Following this I needed to remove the ndk.dir line from my local.properties file. It seems that only one of these can work at once.

This is not the best answer based on Android Studio Documentation, which says: "NDK was located by using ndk.dir property. This method is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please delete ndk.dir from local.properties and set android.ndkVersion to [23.1.7779620] in all native modules in the project. https://developer.android.com/r/studio-ui/ndk-dir" In fact if you have the ndk.dir in your local properties you will receive an error informing you that the setting should be removed and will be unsupported in the future. — Kenneth Argo, Feb 04 '22 at 22:34

I lost a few hours for this problem which came out after upgrading to Android Studio Bumblebee. Here's the definitive solution I found.

Open File/Project Structure menu and define NDK version from the combo box in this screen and you are done:

Check the following sample screenshot:

To find the NDK version you're on, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/36948929/4224706 – Ian Osawaye Jan 31 '22 at 18:32

Go to your SDK Manager and download the NDK by following this instruction.

Find out the location of your NDK by following this instruction.

And specify it in your app's build.gradle file, like this-

android {
  ndkPath "/Users/ndkPath/ndk21" 
}

Sync your project again. And rebuild it.

The value for ndk.dir should no longer be set in your app's local.properties file, and support for this ndk.dir setting will be removed in a future version. The Android Gradle Plugin sets the NDK version by default, but if you need a specific version of the NDK, you can set android.ndkVersion in build.gradle.

Remove ndk.dir=/path/to/ndk from the local.properties.
go to build.gradle under android section add ndkVersion='required ndk version'

ex:

android {

ndkVersion '23.1.7779620'

}
