Any tips or advice would be helpful :D thanks

5,648 PointsThanks, how do I import the library and use it in android studio ? Got any information for step by step guides ?
Ryan Farber
5,329 PointsShould be the same way as Parse and other libraries. This looks good

5,329 PointsThis video is a bit older, so there are more likely updates to the NDK. Its interesting to see the history at least.

5,648 PointsCool can I still code these games in Java?
Ryan Farber
5,329 PointsVery simplistic games yes, but eventually you will need to know C++ if you are getting serious
