Installing & using the Android NDK in Eclipse

Question

I\'ve been running the Android SDK for a while now in Eclipse (MAC OSX). I\'ve downloaded the NDK and installed the C/C++ tools in Eclipse, but could anyone guide me on usin

To attempt to answer the question directly - you need to run ndk-build in the folder with the native code within your project folder. This creates the .so files found in the file explorer/resources tree under jni in Eclipse. These functions, if the syntax in the code is correct, can now be called from your java code.

I found many sources of help when install and getting to grips with Android Developer Tools and the NDK. I wrote a blog post to share my experiences and hopefully give back to the community that helped me get there which may help understand my answer: http://workingmatt.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/set-up-android-sdk-and-ndk.html
