It should be enough to upgrade your gradle plugin to 3.1.2 or higher, in root (project) build.gradle script. Using the latest plugin is recommended not only to be compliant with latest NDK:

buildscript {
  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
  }
}

You also must change gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.6-all.zip v.4.4

If you cannot afford such change, you may try to skip the deprecated ABIs for build and packaging:

android {
  defaultConfig {
    ndk {
      abiFilters 'x86', 'armeabi-v7a', 'x86_64', 'arm64-v8a'
    }
  }

  packagingOptions {
    doNotStrip '*/mips/*.so'
    doNotStrip '*/mips64/*.so'
  }
}
