In Mac, With Android studio 3.3.2, SDK Manager keeps choosing new temporary folder to download the ndk-bundle. The following steps helped to install the downloaded ndk zip file.

1. Go to SDK manager, start downloading NDK.
2. Go to ~/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle/.installer
3. cat .installData

path=/var/folders/vr/mz4hsqqs0wlgj9sfcpn3wfn5g2lwk3/T/PackageOperation07

PackageOperation0X is the temp folder chosen to download the zip file

4. Copy downloaded android-ndk-r21d-darwin-x86_64.zip to this temp folder (PackageOperation0X)

5. Copy ~/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle folder to some other location

6. Cancel the NDK download in SDK Manager

7. cd ~/Library/Android/sdk/

8. You may find ndk-bundle folder missing as download has been cancelled in the SDK Manager.

9. Move the previously copied ndk-bundle to ~/Library/Android/sdk/

10. Go to SDK manager, start downloading NDK again. Existing file will be scanned and installation will be started skipping the download step.
