Convert Python to Android with WINDOWS & LINUX + Fix Common Bugs

In this tutorial, I will show you how to convert your Python projects into Android applications - USING WINDOWS! 😎
We will Create a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), Learn about Android's Debug Bridge (adb) and use Buildozer to compile our .py files into .apk.
By the way, I'm extra annoying in this video so my apologies in advance! 🤪 I've detected a few crazy cat lady moments while editing... I don't know why I was shouting at the keyboard 😅

ANYHOW... For this project, we will first need to learn about 🥝Kivy or KivyMD🥝, which are Python GUI libraries that are responsible for the interface of the app.
🛑 If you're not yet familiar with Kivy or KivyMD - check out any of my quick tutorials:

⭐ Mobile App with KivyMD ⭐

⭐ Expand Mobile App with KivyMD ⭐

⭐ Simple App with Kivy ⭐

⭐ EXTRA: Python Classes and OOP ⭐
(will help with understanding the App Class)

I always get the error message: "Unknown command/target android" after the command "buildozer -v android debug". I followed your tutorial step by step so far. I only used a different python-file and some picture which were all in the folder- Do you have an idea what the problem could be?

Good explanations btw. ;)

[FuzzerHash]

Your channel is amazing, not just because the content you teaches, but by your crystal clear explanation too.

[kabilansundaram]

As always, your pace and the way of explanation of the tutorials, are excellent for beginners like me to follow along. I like all your videos.

[ZurioSi]

Amazing video and very well explained, I love it!. Thank you so much, I'm wondering how the hell you don't have at least 100k subscribers... Your content is very good.

Hi! I was looking for some help in PT-BR for this matter and then I found your video. Thank you so much. You can´t believe but I lost several times installing and reinstalling Linux virtual machines in VirtualBox for nothing. And then, you, in less than 20 min helped me to solve my buildozer issues. So thank you!!!! Congrats!

YouTube recommended me this video and I don't even know how to make a web page, but the tutorial is so well done that now I wanna learn Python

[barrykruyssen]

You are amazing. Exact step by step instructions without any "waffling" about.

I am a beginner of Python. I was always attracted by your enthusiasm in your lectures. As recent as today, I failed twice in converting a kv file into apk. Then I realized that I don't need this approach at all. I'll just need Android Studio to write Android apks. So, thanks for your info, although I won't be using it. I am sure I shall need your help in the future. Stay put, take care! Good luck!

[JuanDelaCruz-ekmg]

I can't thank you enough for this tutorial. I am going nuts trying to find ways on how to be able to create the .apk file and finally use the app in my android phone. You are a lifesaver! Glad I was able to find your channel.

[nour-eddineoumakhlouf]

Increduble! Wow!! Thank you Mariah . It works for me. All your steps were correct from A to Z.

[Johnbrown-opxt]

I had no idea about python a few months ago. I just started coding. Thank you very much for your useful content. I loved your explanation. Thanks again, good luck.
