[Bug] Android: Failed to find tool

Describe the bug

Problem

I was going to make a bug report but I solved this issue myself after some time, and I just wanted to help anyone else who's having the same issue: If you set up the wrong Android NDK version, your build will fail:

Using hardware rendering with device sdk gphone64 x86 64. If you notice graphics artifacts, consider enabling software
rendering with "--enable-software-rendering".

Solution

The docs say to use Android Studio to download the NDK, but you can't choose the version on Android Studio. Instead, download it directly from the Android GitHub page: https://github.com/android/ndk/wiki/Unsupported-Downloads. I am using r22b and it works fine.

The docs also link to an issue in Rust, but it's been merged so I thought the issue was fixed and the latest NDK would work, but it still seems that it's not the case.

I recommend that the docs add this way of downloading the NDK so that people aren't stuck like I was for a while.

Codegen logs with RUST_LOG=debug environment variable

NA since it's an Android issue, not a codegen issue.
