Line 86:

"Android software development" isn't an entity. It's an abstract idea with multiple different approaches through which the main route of entry is Android Studio or the Android SDK. I believe the best place for this information is as a subsection in the entry for Android Studio, or the Android SDK or, more than anything, Android itself.

== Proposed merge of [[Android NDK]] into [[Android software development]] ==

{{Discussion top|result=To '''not''' merge, given consensus that [[Android NDK]] has sufficient distinct reliable sources to warrant separate coverage. [[User:Klbrain|Klbrain]] ([[User talk:Klbrain|talk]]) 11:58, 15 April 2022 (UTC)}}

Don't need a separate article for the NDK [[User:Joseph2302|<b style="color:#0033ab">Joseph</b>]][[User talk:Joseph2302|<b style="color:#000000">2302</b>]] ([[User talk:Joseph2302|talk]]) 21:51, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

:@[[User:Joseph2302|Joseph2302]] However, it would feel more encyclopedic if it did. The article itself needs some improvement in the fact that it is missing a lot of sections, images but you didn't link to which policy or guideline it broke so I do '''Not Support'''.

::[[WP:REDUNDANTFORK]], no need for a separate article. [[User:Joseph2302|<b style="color:#0033ab">Joseph</b>]][[User talk:Joseph2302|<b style="color:#000000">2302</b>]] ([[User talk:Joseph2302|talk]]) 13:29, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

:::@[[User:Joseph2302|Joseph2302]] @[[User:SoyokoAnis|SoyokoAnis]] I don't see how [[WP:REDUNDANTFORK]] applies to this issue. The content about the NDK is not covered in the Android software development software. The NDK meets the [[WP:GNG]]. Personally, I don't think the Android software development article should exists. I think the separate tools should have their own article (such as the [[Android SDK]], [[fastboot]] and [[Android Debug Bridge]]) and that the remaining of the software development article should be merged into a development paragraph of the main Android article.

::::Is there a lot of coverage for it? If so, then it is okay to have a separate article. (Coverage means sources) [[User:SoyokoAnis|<span style="color: blue">SoyokoAnis</span>]] - [[User talk:SoyokoAnis|<span style="color: blue">talk</span>]] 14:58, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

:::::There are currently two entire dedicated books to the NDK used as a reference in this article. This is more than enough for meeting the [[WP:GNG]]. [[User:PhotographyEdits|PhotographyEdits]] ([[User talk:PhotographyEdits|talk]]) 10:16, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
