Improve the README.

Some of this is quite old. Links to YouTube videos from 2015 and
websites that don't exist any more aren't so useful. Update and
rearrange.

Still lacking is an ARCHITECTURE.md that explains the repo layout. I'll
do that next.

-# NDK Samples
+# Android NDK Samples
 
 [![build](https://github.com/android/ndk-samples/actions/workflows/build.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/android/ndk-samples/actions)
 
-This repository contains [Android NDK][0] samples with Android Studio
-[C++ integration](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7ihSQ44WO0&feature=youtu.be).
+This repository contains sample apps that use the [Android NDK].
 
-These samples use the new
-[CMake Android plugin](https://developer.android.com/studio/projects/add-native-code.html)
-with C++ support.
+## Build and run
 
-Samples could also be built with other build systems:
+1. Clone the repository
+2. Open the whole project in Android Studio
+3. Select the sample you want to run in the top bar (you may need to sync gradle
+   first)
+4. Click the play button to run the sample
 
-- for ndk-build with Android Studio, refer to directory
-  [other-builds/ndkbuild](https://github.com/googlesamples/android-ndk/tree/master/other-builds/ndkbuild)
-- for gradle-experimental plugin, refer to directory other-builds/experimental.
-  Note that gradle-experimental does not work with unified headers yet: use NDK
-  version up to r15 and Android Studio up to version 2.3. When starting new
-  project, please use CMake or ndk-build plugin.
+You can also build the samples from the command line if you prefer. Use
+`./gradlew build` to build everything (if you're on Windows, use `.\gradlew.bat`
+instead of `./gradlew`). For individual tasks, see `./gradlew tasks`. To see the
+tasks for an individual sample, run the `tasks` task for that directory. For
+example, `./gradlew :camera:basic:tasks` will show the tasks for the
+`camera/basic` app.

-## Build Steps
+If you need to report a bug, where it needs to be filed depends on the type of
+issue:
 
-- With Android Studio: "Open An Existing Android Studio Project" or "File" >
-  "Open", then navigate to & select project's build.gradle file.
-- On Command Line: set up ANDROID_HOME and ANDROID_NDK_HOME to your SDK and NDK
-  path, cd to individual sample dir, and do "gradlew assembleDebug"
