Installation Bash-script (the script is automating my actions I have shown in this video):

Buildozer is the Python library that can convert py to apk, that is it compiles Python Kivy project to real Adroid app as apk file.

Thank you very much. I have been looking for solution for over one and half week but finally i followed your full tutorial and worked perfectly. Thanks again

[martinv]

The best video from scratch to apk (without losing time) Thanks!

[haruhipoulain]

Спасибо, Олег. Три дня мучился, пытался все сделать по другим гайдам, но постоянно вылазила какая-нибудь ошибка, которая после фикса вызывала другую... Сделал все как ты, проблем никаких не возникло. Слава тебе!

Thank you Red Eyed Coder Club. I have successfully build my first apk files with python. However, I need to install latest JDK version 11 to get buildozer to work. Thanks again and keep up the good job.

Thank you so much for the clear explanation and especially for providing the installation script for buildozer dependencies. It appears the website now gives only the list of dependencies for Ubuntu 20, and not the older versions of Ubuntu. I was able to download the dependencies for my Ubuntu 18.04 and successfully exported my Android app. Thanks again!

Thank You Very Much
I tried many method to build apk but didn't work
I followed your tutorial, it's success . Thanks

[ushermed]

Finally something that works.. tnx alot

[tahep]

I would like to remind that the keyboard language settings is missing in the virtual machine vdi file and there is no way to install guest additions without which it is totally useless to use Ubuntu.I have installed the fresh version of Ubuntu 18.04 from their official site and followed what is said in the video and it worked, thanks a lot for this helpful video...

The additional Command ---> sudo apt-get install libltdl-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev autoconf autotools-dev

[trgy]

it's great job, appreciated. I have never find a virtual image as running until this time. I could created an apk file on virtual server in the end.

[dodgeguerrero]

[gordoibai]

Why am getting this message in my terminal? "Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-so3ky9d3/kivy/", i ve done everything like you!

[iamsagarsingh]

While running buildozer debug it shows an error of no module name virtualenv.__main__ ;
virtualenv is not a package
which comes from virtualenv binary contaning "from virtualenv.__main__ import run_with_catch"
I dont no how to solve this .please help.

[toolshacking]

i have error :


Buildozer failed to execute the last command
# If the error is not obvious, please raise the log_level to 2
# and retry the latest command.
# In case of a bug report, please add a full log with log_level = 2

[ntaraujo]

Just install to use buildozer via cmd or PowerShell

[anoopsrana]

I was able to make the APK and run it on my Android successfully.
I have one question:
When I start making another project and follow the same procedure and enter "buildozer android debug" and hit enter then the whole process starts from the beginning (I mean downloading everything) and this take unnecessary memory on my pc.Is there a way to bypass this?
I mean skip the downloading of the packages that are already installed.
