There are two different things: CMake support within the NDK (by Google) and NDK support in CMake. The later is usually easy to use and supports many NDK revisions.

See: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.7/manual/cmake-toolchains.7....

There are plans to eventually update cmake support.

But I guess you already know how slowly things in the NDK progress anyway.

If so, that sounds like a lacking of the Android NDK and not the other way around.

Sure, doesn't change anything for me.
