+Cross Compiling for Android
+---------------------------
+
+A toolchain file may configure cross-compiling for Android by setting the
+:variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME` variable to ``Android``. Further configuration
+is specific to the Android development environment to be used.
+
+For :ref:`Visual Studio Generators`, CMake expects :ref:`NVIDIA Nsight Tegra
+Visual Studio Edition <Cross Compiling for Android with NVIDIA Nsight Tegra
+Visual Studio Edition>` to be installed. See that section for further
+configuration details.
+
+For :ref:`Makefile Generators` and the :generator:`Ninja` generator,
+CMake expects one of these environments:
+
+* :ref:`NDK <Cross Compiling for Android with the NDK>`
+* :ref:`Standalone Toolchain <Cross Compiling for Android with a Standalone Toolchain>`
+
+CMake uses the following steps to select one of the environments:
+
+* If the :variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_NDK` variable is set, the NDK at the
+ specified location will be used.
+
+* Else, if the :variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_STANDALONE_TOOLCHAIN` variable
+ is set, the Standalone Toolchain at the specified location will be used.
+
+* Else, if the :variable:`CMAKE_SYSROOT` variable is set to a directory
+ of the form ``<ndk>/platforms/android-<api>/arch-<arch>``, the ``<ndk>``
+ part will be used as the value of :variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_NDK` and the
+ NDK will be used.
+
+* Else, if the :variable:`CMAKE_SYSROOT` variable is set to a directory of the
+ form ``<standalone-toolchain>/sysroot``, the ``<standalone-toolchain>`` part
+ will be used as the value of :variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_STANDALONE_TOOLCHAIN`
+ and the Standalone Toolchain will be used.
+
+* Else, if a cmake variable ``ANDROID_NDK`` is set it will be used
+ as the value of :variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_NDK`, and the NDK will be used.
+
+* Else, if a cmake variable ``ANDROID_STANDALONE_TOOLCHAIN`` is set, it will be
+ used as the value of :variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_STANDALONE_TOOLCHAIN`, and the
+ Standalone Toolchain will be used.
+
+* Else, if an environment variable ``ANDROID_NDK_ROOT`` or
+ ``ANDROID_NDK`` is set, it will be used as the value of
+ :variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_NDK`, and the NDK will be used.
+
+* Else, if an environment variable ``ANDROID_STANDALONE_TOOLCHAIN`` is
+ set then it will be used as the value of
+ :variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_STANDALONE_TOOLCHAIN`, and the Standalone
+ Toolchain will be used.
+
+* Else, an error diagnostic will be issued that neither the NDK or
+ Standalone Toolchain can be found.

+Cross Compiling for Android with the NDK
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A toolchain file may configure :ref:`Makefile Generators` or the
+:generator:`Ninja` generator to target Android for cross-compiling.
+
+Configure use of an Android NDK with the following variables:
+
+:variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME`
+ Set to ``Android``. Must be specified to enable cross compiling
+ for Android.
+
+:variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION`
+ Set to the Android API level. If not specified, the value is
+ determined as follows:
+
+ * If the :variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_API` variable is set, its value
+ is used as the API level.
+ * If the :variable:`CMAKE_SYSROOT` variable is set, the API level is
+ detected from the NDK directory structure containing the sysroot.
+ * Otherwise, the latest API level available in the NDK is used.
+
+:variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_ARCH_ABI`
+ Set to the Android ABI (architecture). If not specified, this
+ variable will default to ``armeabi``.
+ The :variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_ARCH` variable will be computed
+ from ``CMAKE_ANDROID_ARCH_ABI`` automatically.
+ Also see the :variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_ARM_MODE` and
+ :variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_ARM_NEON` variables.
+
+:variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_NDK`
+ Set to the absolute path to the Android NDK root directory.
+ A ``${CMAKE_ANDROID_NDK}/platforms`` directory must exist.
+ If not specified, a default for this variable will be chosen
+ as specified :ref:`above <Cross Compiling for Android>`.
+
+:variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_NDK_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION`
+ Set to the version of the NDK toolchain to be selected as the compiler.
+ If not specified, the latest available GCC toolchain will be used.
+
+:variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_STL_TYPE`
+ Set to specify which C++ standard library to use. If not specified,
+ a default will be selected as described in the variable documentation.
+
+The following variables will be computed and provided automatically:
+
+:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX`
+ The absolute path prefix to the binutils in the NDK toolchain.
+
+:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_SUFFIX`
+ The host platform suffix of the binutils in the NDK toolchain.
+
+
+For example, a toolchain file might contain:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Android)
+ set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION 21) # API level
+ set(CMAKE_ANDROID_ARCH_ABI arm64-v8a)
+ set(CMAKE_ANDROID_NDK /path/to/android-ndk)
+ set(CMAKE_ANDROID_STL_TYPE gnustl_static)
+
+Alternatively one may specify the values without a toolchain file:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ cmake ../src \
+ -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Android \
+ -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=21 \
+ -DCMAKE_ANDROID_ARCH_ABI=arm64-v8a \

+
+A toolchain file may configure :ref:`Makefile Generators` or the
+:generator:`Ninja` generator to target Android for cross-compiling
+using a standalone toolchain.
+
+Configure use of an Android standalone toolchain with the following variables:
+
+:variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME`
+ Set to ``Android``. Must be specified to enable cross compiling
+ for Android.
+
+:variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_STANDALONE_TOOLCHAIN`
+ Set to the absolute path to the standalone toolchain root directory.
+ A ``${CMAKE_ANDROID_STANDALONE_TOOLCHAIN}/sysroot`` directory
+ must exist.
+ If not specified, a default for this variable will be chosen
+ as specified :ref:`above <Cross Compiling for Android>`.
+
+:variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_ARM_MODE`
+ When the standalone toolchain targets ARM, optionally set this to ``ON``
+ to target 32-bit ARM instead of 16-bit Thumb.
+ See variable documentation for details.
+
+:variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_ARM_NEON`
+ When the standalone toolchain targets ARM v7, optionally set thisto ``ON``
+ to target ARM NEON devices. See variable documentation for details.
+
+The following variables will be computed and provided automatically:
+
+:variable:`CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION`
+ The Android API level detected from the standalone toolchain.
+
+:variable:`CMAKE_ANDROID_ARCH_ABI`
+ The Android ABI detected from the standalone toolchain.
+

+ The absolute path prefix to the binutils in the standalone toolchain.
+
