<h3 id="64BitSupport">If you are using the Android Native Development Kit (NDK)...</h3>



<p>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.</p>



<p>To use this enhancement, download and install NDK Revision 10 from the

<a href="{@docRoot}tools/sdk/ndk/index.html">Android NDK page</a>. Refer to the

Revision 10 <a href="{@docRoot}tools/sdk/ndk/index.html#Revisions">release notes</a>

for more information about important changes and bug fixes to the NDK.</p>



<p>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

  <a href="https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=73705">known issue</a>,

  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.</p>
