Brad, do you have a guide or walkthrough for the new CMake integration features of 3.7 that I can read? I'm actively developing using CMake + NDK and it's incredibly difficult to keep takanome's android-cmake toolchain file functional for newer versions of the NDK (specifically r11 and r12). Would love to see a tutorial on how it works for an out-of-the-box NDK setup. I'm not sure how much CMake has hard-coded the location of prebuilt toolchains and such on the NDK. As you pointed out, the toolchain is supposed to point to this stuff. Does CMake just need the ANDROID_NDK environment variable?
