The NDK is designed to enable you to create C++ libraries using the libc and libm libraries, along with native access to OpenGL. If your inclinations run toward NDK development, exploring the Linux kernel and C/C++ underbelly of Android, modifying Dalvik, or otherwise tinkering with things under the hood, For moer detials see this article .

In addition to the Software Development Kit (SDK), which was released a couple months ago, the Android team has now also released a "Native Development Kit" (NDK). The SDK allows developers to write software for Android devices in Java. The system is designed for platform independence, so that no or little adjustments are required to run the same applications on different devices. The NDK on the other hand enables Andoid developers to access native code, which in general is not platform independent, but may be more efficient in some cases. More details and download information for the SDK and NDK is available at the Android web site.
Hope it helps you.

APPY CODING :-)

Nope, you may (and probably should) use the SDK.
See the "When to Develop in Native Code" section of the
"What is the NDK?"[^] page.
