CMake and NDK cache for Android build

Question

Is it possible to use cache for Android NDK and CMake. I use cache for Android SDK and Gradle but Cmake and NDK downloading take a lot of time during the build.

Yes, all kind of build dependencies are possible to cache, so I don't see a specific reason why this should not be the case for Android SDK and CMake.

To get this to work, first find out which directories you need to cache. Then create two custom caches - one for Android SDK and one for CMake - and use them in the pipeline step(s) where applicable.
