As you know, Android applications run in the Dalvik virtual machine. The NDK allows developers to implement parts of these applications using native-code languages such as C and C++. This can provide benefits to certain kinds of applications.
The NDK provides:
a set of tools and build files used to generate native code libraries from C and C++ sources
a way to embed the corresponding native libraries into application packages files (.apks) that can be deployed on Android devices
a set of native system headers and libraries that will be supported in all future releases of the Android platform, starting from Android 1.5 documentation, samples and tutorials
This release of the NDK supports the ARMv5TE machine instruction set and provides stable headers for:
libc, the standard C library
libm, the standard math library
the JNI interface
libz, the common ZLib compression library
liblog, used to send logcat messages to the kernel
