Answer 1

As stated in the docs:

1. Use the sdkmanager tool to view versions of CMake and NDK packages that are available:

   sdkmanager --list
   

2. Pass the sdkmanager the strings for the packages that you want to install. For example, to install CMake and the NDK, use the following syntax:

   sdkmanager --install
     "ndk;major.minor.build"
     "cmake;major.minor.micro.build"
   

Answer 2

You can just download the android-NDK from their archives and integrate it with your android studio. You can download android-NDK 15 from the given URL:

https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/older_releases

To connect it with android studio, extract it into your drive and in android studio, go to File -> Project Structure -> SDK Location -> NDK Path (Put extracted path here)

Answer 3

If you're using Gradle plugin 3.5 or later (in beta at time of writing, but will be out soon), add the following to your build.gradle:

android {
    ndkVersion "19.2.5345600" // NDK r19c
}

If you're using an older Gradle plugin, you can download old NDK releases from https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/older_releases and point ndk.dir in your local.properties file at that instead.
