I have downloaded Android source code of master branch and build it successfully.

Now, I want to add a new C or C++ library in this android source tree.

So for this where and what changes are required ?

What source tree do you mean, and how will C/C++ fit in with the rest of it?

source tree means : Android source code that I have downloaded.
And
other libraries, for example : libpcap, libpng, openssl or zlib. These libraries are present under this path : '(Android_Working_Directory)/external/'.
So like this, I want to add a new library suppose 'libnet' in this android source code and build this library with android.

So add the library in a new directory and modify the makefile (or whatever build process you use), to include it in the make. Sorry, but I really do not understand what the problem is.
