NDK r19 to build standalone app/HelloWorld on Android

1. Standalone toolchain from NDK r19/2019

Using the NDK with other build systems
Note: The content described in this document requires at least NDK r19. If you're using an older NDK, consider upgrading. If you're unable to upgrade, see the Standalone Toolchain guide.

Standalone Toolchains
Warning: If using r19 or newer, follow the Other Build Systems document for instructions on using the NDK toolchains with arbitrary build systems. As of r19, the NDK's default toolchains are standalone toolchains, which renders this process unnecessary.

2. Clang VS GCC toolchain from NDKn11/2016

Android NDK r11 recommends clang instead of GCC/deprecated/4.9
