- Index
A computer with Windows, Ubuntu Linux, or MacOS installed is necessary (Linux or MacOS is preferable). Although we can run Android apps with an emulator, it is slow and inefficient for Android development. Therefore, it is recommended to have an Android device.
The book assumes a basic understanding of C and C++ programming languages. You should also be familiar with Java and Android SDK.
Note that the sample code of this book is based on Android ndk r8 unless otherwise stated, since it is the latest version of NDK at the time of writing. By the time the book is published, there should be newer versions. The code should also run on any newer versions. Therefore we can install NDK r8 or later.
