The document is guaranteed to be incomplete is some way, and may possibly be wrong in another way. I have created a suite of Android orientated examples. I am not a developer in any of the Kivy sub projects (except for a few PRs). Lastly this document is my understanding as of the date above. The alternative is Java and the Android api, which has been shown to induce insanity in laboratory mice. Python-for-Android is a truly amazing achievement, but there are some details to understand. Your basic resources are Buildozer, Python for Android, and Android. This document is not a substitute for Reading The Fine Manual (RTFM). Of course this does not describe many apps.

One can for example build 'Hello World' with the default 'buildozer.spec' file. The document is about porting a Kivy app to Android.įor a well written app that only paints the screen, and does nothing else, building for Android will be 'push button'. Clearly many apps won't 'just work' on Android. However Android is not POSIX compliant, wheels are not usually available for Android, and pip is not installed on Android. Python and Kivy are portable across operating systems because of POSIX, Python wheels, and pip.
