This is really starting to annoy the hell out of me. Never had an issue before. Not used CC for a while. Now getting this.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
NDK not configured.
Download it with SDK manager.)
NDK is there and set in settings.
SDK is set in settings.
What is going on?
I guessed you have problem with compiling app for Android. Yeah both NDK and SDK set in settings, but to fix this problem you need to add ndk path to local.properties file. it look like this on my case
ndk.dir=/Volumes/Data/softwares/development/sdk/ndk-bundle
This happens because you previously installed SDK-NDK manually. If you delete all android installs (remove also the environment variables) and install Android Studio, download SDK and add the path to Creator, everything works fine.
