How To Fix - Error: No Toolchains Found in the NDK Toolchains Folder in Android ?


In this post, we will see How To Fix - "Error: No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder" in Android. You might face this error while compiling your Android\Flutter Project. The error might appear in various facets based on your installation, version used and platform. This is mostly a dependency failure.


Exception thrown while executing model rule
No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: llvm



No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix mips64el-linux-android



Execution failed for task ':X:yyyyyyyy'.

No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: arm-linux-androideabi



No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix mipsel-linux-android
  Let's see the options you could opt as a solution to fix this issue -  

Option 1 :

  • The issue could possibly be with regards to the Gradle version used - you need to check the version compatibility of your build with the corresponding Gradle version. And ensure that correct Gradle version is being picked up.
 

  • First thing first - whenever such kind of error occurs, it is a good practice to check and then update project builds to use Gradle plugin as well as Gradle version - updated to the Latest Stable and compatible version. This would encompass changing classpath in build.gradle file and Gradle version in gradle-wrapper.properties file. We have written a detailed post with regards to how to update\upgrade and keep your Gradle version compatible. Read it here - How to Update or Upgrade Gradle version in Android Studio? 
build.gradle file


buildscript {
  repositories {
        **google()**
 **jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
        mavenCentral()**   
        ...
    }
    dependencies {
      classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:x.y.z")
      classpath {'com.google.gms:google-services:**x.y.z**'}
    }
}
gradle-wrapper.properties file


distributionUrl = "https\\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-**x.y.z**\-all.zip"
   

Option 2 :

  • This fix is conditional. Hence if your project don't require NDK mandatorily, you could try uninstalling the NDK in the SDK-Tools.
 

  • Depending on what version of Android Studio you are using, one of the below steps should work for uninstalling ndk -

    • Uninstall from - Android Studio -> Preferences -> System Settings -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools -> Deselect NDK -> Apply button. Or
    • Uninstall from - Android studio ( Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager ) .Select ndk and then delete it.
  • Compile you Project\Gradle post ndk uninstallation.

   

Option 3 :

  • If you might opt to use an older version still or don't want to upgrade Gradle, read on.
  • Let's say for some reason, you would still require older NDK.
  • Be aware that for NDK >= 18 ,  you would need to update Android Gradle plugin to version>=3.1.x.
  • Also be aware that - Support for "mips abi" is no longer available in the latest releases. mips was deprecated from the latest releases of ndk. Hence Gradle newer versions will not have mips. But the older version of Android Gradle plugin will still look out for mips. By default, it will assume the presence of these missing folders. And as such you would need to provide those files yourself.
  • Download older NDK from here - https://github.com/android/ndk/wiki/Unsupported-Downloads
  • Unzip the files
  • Go to your "toolchains" dir - Android\SDK\Ndk-Bundle\toolchains\
  • Compare the contents in the above folder with the downloaded-unzipped files. Most likely the "mips" files will be missing from toolchains folder.
  • Place all the downloaded-unzipped files (or just the missing files) in this "toolchains" dir. The important folders\files to be placed are -
    • mips64el-linux-android-x.y (e.g. mips64el-linux-android-4.9)
    • mipsel-linux-android-x.y (e.g. mipsel-linux-android-4.9)
  • Rebuild your project once files\folders are placed.
Note: You can configure path to ndk-bundle in the local.properties file by pointing to your ndk version. local.properties


ndk.dir=<path>/android-ndk-r21e
sdk.dir=<path>/sdk
  Hope this helps to solve the error.
