Hmm, do you have an ./example_android/local.properties file?

This is what mine looks like:

➜  mx3 git:(master) cat ./example_android/local.properties 
## This file is automatically generated by Android Studio.
# Do not modify this file -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE ERASED!
#
# This file should *NOT* be checked into Version Control Systems,
# as it contains information specific to your local configuration.
#
# Location of the SDK. This is only used by Gradle.
# For customization when using a Version Control System, please read the
# header note.
sdk.dir=/Users/steven/android-sdk
ndk.dir=/Users/steven/android-ndk

This should obviously be documented much better, I'm sorry it wasn't. Let me know if that fixes things for you. You'll need to download and install the android sdk and ndk.

Aw snap! seem like I didn't install android-ndk on this Mac yet only android-sdk, and error log just said Current NDK support is deprecated. so i thought it's already there just not support lol

now is build fine, btw about local.properties should be doc too, lucky me i mess with gradle before so I know what is missing.

Many thanks, @skabbes sorry for wasting your time. looking fw to play with this new toy :D let me know if you want me to add missing installation step there from my noob point of view lol

Cheers!

Nah, no one should be expected to know that.

I'm going to add a blurb about adding a local.properties, but I'd absolutely love if you could document things as you come across them.

Hope this helps:
