In general I think that you should develop Android apps only in Java unless there is a specific reason to build certain parts of it using the NDK.Д¬ygwin (pronounced /Л€sЙЄЙЎwЙЄn/, SIG-win) is a Unix-like environment and command-line interface for Microsoft Windows. Since you're saying that you're a bit unclear about the NDK, you should probably be aware that as far as I understand you can not build a whole Android app using it, you can only develop bits of it, you will still need to develop at least part of the app to run on top of the Dalvik virtual machine, which, as far as I know, means that you'll have to write that bit in Java.

The other option might be to install Linux on a machine and run the Android NDK on there, it might be better since I assume Linux is the native environment for Android NDK development. If the Android NDK needs it I suppose the Android NDK needs some linux functionality or tools to work properly. There's also a good explanation at the wiki page here. You can find it and more information about it here. If you install cygwin on your windows machine you'd be able to run some linux software on windows (you'd have to recompile it especially for cygwin though). Cygwin is a way to make Windows support some linux functionality.
