NDK is not installed

Able to generate the apk by giving ndk relative path in below instruction in app/build.gradle file. jniLibs.srcDirs += ["../../../../../../../sdks/android_sdk/ndk/25.0.8775105/sources/third_party/vulkan/src/build-android/jniLibs"]

however, none of the samples are running in launched app.

How are you installing the samples? It's possible that the assets didn't get copied over, see https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Samples/blob/master/docs/build.md#3d-models how to manually do that.

In your environment variables, it looks like ANDROID_HOME is getting set to nothing as is GRADLE_HOME. Could you confirm that those are indeed pointing to the full path to your android_sdk directory (could be ~/sdks/android_sdk)

Hi @ritzdzire, any updates on this? The above suggestion fix the problem? Would like to close this out shortly unless there's more to do. Thanks!

[marty-johnson59]

Closing. LMK if there's more to do and we can reopen. Thanks.
