So I compiled the SFML android libs, in visual studio 2015. I'm not sure if this is the way you're supposed to do it, but this way has lead me furthest so far. If it's obviously the wrong way, please tell me how I could have done it differently. Anyway, I then cmake installed it.
When trying to make (via the make file) the example project, I get this output:

I have no idea what most of this means but I assume it's a problem involving the standard libaries.
I've tried recompiling sfml's android bindings with the STL Types "GNU libstdc++ Shared" and "GNU libstdc++ Static". No difference.
I've tried moving things around in Application.mk. This makes errors bigger, not smaller.
I've tried redownloading sfml and starting the whole process again. No difference.
I'm kind of tired of guessing and can't find any tutorials that don't either gloss over the part of the process I'm struggling with or leave out major details entirely. I'm very keen to develop for android with SFML. If anyone could help, it would really be appreciated.
