-  wget http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-1.6_r1-linux-x86.zip &&
+Then unpack them:
- # unpack SDK and NDK
-  unzip android-ndk-1.6_r1-linux-x86.zip &&
+  unzip android-ndk-r3-linux-x86.zip
-  tar xvfz android-sdk_r04-linux_86.tgz &&

-This assumes the NDK was installed in the parent directory. The SDK paths will also need to be adjusted depending on where the SDK is installed and which android version you want to target.
+A standard build should succeed with those paths (note: if you get build bustage in widget, then we're still waiting on a patch that removes the need to poke android internals for gfx).
+After that build finishes, a make inside embedding/android should generate a gecko.apk that's installable on an Android device.
