Using 'model.android.ndk' command in build.gradle

Question

I'm using gradle 4.4 and I can't the 'ndk' command is not found. This is my build.gradle of the application:

 apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'cpp'


android {
    System.setProperty('SYS', 'android')
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "27.0.3"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "xxx"
        minSdkVersion 23
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }


}
model {
    android.ndk {
        moduleName "native-lib"
      }
}

I don't know what the problem is but i get the error:

The following model rules could not be applied due to unbound inputs and/or subjects:

android.ndk { ... } @ app\build.gradle line 27, column 5 subject: - android.ndk Object [*]

[*] - indicates that a model item could not be found for the path or type.

which refers to the line of the 'ndk' command.

Thanks!

Google essentially discontinued the experimental NDK plugin. Please follow their official guide to migrate to the stable plugin: Migrate to Stable Gradle for NDK Support using CMake and ndk-build.
