Unable to find CMake in Android Studio

I need to add C/C++ code in my Android program for which I needed LLDB, CMake, and NDK. I found LLDB and NDK in SDK manager, but CMake is missing from there. I tried manually downloading it from the CMake official site and found out that for Android we need SDK customized CMake.

As you can see there is no option such as CMake.

Where do I find a version of CMake for Android?

I have tried CMake from the website and one I found in ndk-bundle/build folder, but both are giving the same error as below. What can be made out of it and how can the issue be solved?

Build command failed.

Error:executing external native build for cmake C:\Users\amishr33\AndroidStudioProjects\MyApplication\app\src\main\jni\CMakeLists.txt

• Open SDK Manager
• Switch to the SDK Tools tab
• Install CMake

If you do the following you may get CMake without any problems:

1. Open the Settings (Android Studio);
2. Search by "Android SDK";
3. On the right side, go to the "SDK Tools" pallet|tab;
4. Check the "CMake" item on the list;
5. Press OK button;
6. Now, just wait the next century while Gradle builds, =D .

1. Check in your build.gradle file for your App's module

   externalNativeBuild {
       cmake {
           path "CMakeLists.txt"
       }
   }
   

2. Remove the cmake section

3. Re-synchronise the project: go to menu Build -> Refersh Lined C++ Projects

4. Right-click on the module, such as the app module, select "Link C++ Project with Gradle" from the menu.

5. You should see a dialog similar to the one shown in below figure.

   

6. Click OK.
