The L Developer Preview introduces support for 64-bit systems and other + preview NDK APIs. The 64-bit enhancement adds needed address space as Android + usage diversifies and increases performance while still supporting existing + 32-bit apps fully. Use of OpenSSL for cryptography in the platform is also + faster. In addition, this release introduces new native audio and media NDK + APIs and native OpenGL ES (GLES) 3.1 support.
+ +To use this enhancement, download and install NDK Revision 10 from the +Android NDK page. Refer to the +Revision 10 release notes +for more information about important changes and bug fixes to the NDK.
+ +If you are using the NDK and want to use the features provided in the L + Developer Preview, download the {@code android-ndk64-r10} package for your + target platform. Due to a + known issue, + you must still download the 64-bit package even if you only want to compile + apps for 32-bit systems. The package also includes + the {@code gcc-4.9} compiler for both 32- and 64-bit apps. The L Developer + Preview API library is located under the {@code platforms/android-L/} API directory.
+If you are using the NDK to compile apps for 32- or 64-bit systems and +want to use the features provided in the L Developer Preview, download the +{@code android-ndk64-r10} package for your target platform from the +Android NDK page. The +{@code android-ndk64-r10} package contains the L Developer Preview API +library (located under the {@code platforms/android-L/} API directory) for both +32- and 64-bit systems. The package also includes the {@code gcc-4.9} compiler +for both 32- and 64-bit apps.
