Hello,
I am new to AOSP. As far as I know we were using 'Make build system' in nougat which were building Android.mk files. And from Oreo onwards Soong is used for Android.bp.
Is there any way by which I can build the Android.bp files in nougat using the 'Make build system'?

Thanks and Regards,
Amit Agrawal

No, Nougat does not support building with Android.bp files. Oreo and later support both Android.mk and Android.bp files (though Android.bp files largely cannot reference Android.mk files, so all your dependencies need to be converted to Android.bp first).

So In Android P, It supports both .bp as well as .mk. What if I want to compile a module which is in .bp format but it depends on some other module which is written in .mk format? Is there anyway that we ignore the dependencies?

Android.bp files must have all of their dependencies in Android.bp as well. There is no way to work around that.
