I am reading that Corona is running ontop of Android NDK, but never remember I need to download Android NDK.

Do Corona SDK pack it in together?

According to our Android Build Guide:   http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/distribution/androidBuild/index.html

You need the Java SDK installed, but not the Android SDK.  It’s helpful to install the tools from the Android SDK, but you don’t need all of the libraries (I believe this is what you mean by the NDK).  From the tools having adb, monitor and such are quite useful.

If you are an Enterprise subscriber, you need the full SDK installed.

Hi Rob!

So do this mean that, I don’t need to update the Android SDK tools revision from time to time? All will be included in each Corona build?

Thanks.

As far as what you need to build, Corona SDK will do all  you need.  You may want to keep the Android tools up to date from time to time since they are useful for things like seeing your log file, capturing screen shots, etc.
