Error:executing external native build for ndkBuild E:\New folder (2)\CoolMicApp-Android\app\src\main\jni\Android.mk

I checked on some resources but not help to resolve this. Also From coolMic document where i follow the steps:-

$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update --init --recursive

This error only occurs when your project path location having the folder name that contains white-space.

For ex.

-> Problem path :- D:\Android Project\ProjectName\app\jni\android.mk

In the problem path, folder name has with whitespace like "Android Project"

=================================

-> Solution path :- D:\Android_Project\ProjectName\app\jni\android.mk

In the solution path, folder name does not have any whitespace like "Android_project"
