David 'Digit' Turner eee1675aa4 Look for Android.mk in $(APP_PROJECT_PATH)/jni by default.
This gets rid of the 'sources' directory and allows all sources
of a given Android application to be in the same directory tree
without using a symlink trick.

Note that apps/<name>/Application.mk is still required though.
A later release of the NDK will get rid of it too, but the change
is too drastic for the upcoming release.

The change moves various source files from sources into their
app/<name>/project/jni directory as well.

The whole documentation is updated to reflect the change.

            Android Native Development Kit (NDK)


Welcome, this NDK is designed to allow Android application developers
to include native code in their Android application packages, compiled
as JNI shared libraries.

See docs/CHANGES.TXT for a list of changes since the previous release.

A high-level overview of the NDK's features and limitations can be found
in docs/OVERVIEW.TXT. Please read this document as it contains crucial
information for correct usage.

See docs/STABLE-APIS.TXT for the list of frozen binary APIs exposed by
this NDK, as well as the corresponding system image versions that support
them.

Before using the NDK, you will need to follow the steps described by
docs/INSTALL.TXT which lists the NDK pre-requisites and the steps needed
to set it up properly on your machine.

We recommend developers to make themselves familiar with JNI concepts. Also
note that the NDK is *not* a good way to write non-JNI native code for the
Android platform.

See docs/HOWTO.TXT for a few useful tips and tricks when using the NDK.

See docs/SYSTEM-ISSUES.TXT for a list of important issues related to
the Android system images that all NDK developers should be aware of.

Finally, discussions related to the Android NDK happen on the public
"android-ndk" forum located at the following address:
