Python Mobile App Tutorial - Part 5: Deploying to Android with Buildozer | Kivy/KivyMD

In today's video I show how to use Buildozer to compile our Python app made with Kivy/KivyMD to an Android application.
👇 LINKS AND INFO! 👇

Any and all donations are super appreciated! ❤️

The creators of Kivy have been developing the framework for near a decade without funding. They recently set up a fundraising campaign in an attempt to fund one (to start) core developer of the framework. If you are so inclined, join me in contributing a small donation to help fund this wonderful project. I'm sure they really appreciate the support! Use the link below to check out their donation page. ❤️

Thanks for watching!

Just discovered this video while trying to debug why my app couldn't find a domain. Love that you ran through every error, explained, and fixed. You deserve a medal or award man.

I created a calculator using Kivy for my Android phone last year. It works well. I used a 64 bit Lubuntu, because buildozer seems not to work properly on a 32 bit Linux. Nice video, thank you.

Hi Erik!
You are doing a great job by making tutorial videos for kivy framework. I think that it can make kivy (or kivymd) more familiar for community and even more accessible for other developers.
Just keep working and uploading more videos!

Hi Erik, I have a question about an error which appears while running the App on my Android Phone (Huawei P8lite).
The adb logcat log shows me the two Errors [ E libEGL : validate_display:255 error 3008 (EGL_BAD_DISPLAY) and ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL' ] and than crashes.

Do you have an idea how to solve this Error?🤨

I have already done some research and tried to get some information but PIL is dead and the requirement for KivyMD is Pillow, like the devolopers published in Github.🤔

I would appreciate your help and thank you in advance.
If you need some logs to look at I will provide it to you.🧐

Hi Erik!
Looking forward to the same with the iOS app from the kivy project...

[erik-sandberg]

Hey you. Yeah, you! Two important notes for you about this video:
1) You'll likely run into the *ModuleNotFoundError: no module named 'certifi'* error way before me. This is because I changed the git repository while making this video. Just add certifi to the requirements line in your buildozer.spec file (as I did around 16:30).

Hope more and more people can see and study this! Thx very much!

[wyndhamwoo]

I do not have garden requirements in my buildozer.spec file. How do I fix this? Even if I write it in. It doesnt change anything and I still get the same error.

Make a video on release apk...sign apk..which accept google play store

[doradenizhalc]

Great video, but i use Google Colab instead of virtual machine, Google Colab creates apk very well. Unfornutaley i can't debug my app on google Colab( doesn't support) so all my apps crahses when ı start them on my phone. Is there any way to debugging my app on windows?
