Quickstart
|
||
|
|
==========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let's get started with Buildozer!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Init and build for Android
|
||
|
|
--------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. Buildozer will try to guess the version of your application, by searching a
|
||
|
|
line like `__version__ = "1.0.3"` in your `main.py`. Ensure you have one at
|
||
|
|
the start of your application. It is not mandatory but heavilly advised.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. Create a `buildozer.spec` file, with::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
buildozer init
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. Edit the `buildozer.spec` according to the :ref:`specifications`. You should
|
||
|
|
at least change the `title`, `package.name` and `package.domain` in the
|
||
|
|
`[app]` section.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. Start a Android/debug build with::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
buildozer -v android debug
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. Now it's time for a coffee / tea, or a dinner if you have a slow computer.
|
||
|
|
The first build will be slow, as it will download the Android SDK, NDK, and
|
||
|
|
others tools needed for the compilation.
|
||
|
|
Don't worry, thoses files will be saved in a global directory and will be
|
||
|
|
shared accross the different project you'll manage with Buildozer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. At the end, you should have an APK file in the `bin/` directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run my application
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Buildozer is able to deploy the application on your mobile, run it, and even
|
||
|
|
get back the log into the console. It will work only if you already compiled
|
||
|
|
your application at least once::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
buildozer android deploy run logcat
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For iOS, it would look the same::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
buildozer ios deploy run
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can combine the compilation with the deployment::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
buildozer -v android debug deploy run logcat
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also set this line at the default command to do if Buildozer is started
|
||
|
|
without any arguments::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
buildozer setdefault android debug deploy run logcat
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# now just type buildozer, and it will do the default command
|
||
|
|
buildozer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install on non-connected devices
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have compiled a package, and want to share it easily with others
|
||
|
|
devices, you might be interested with the `serve` command. It will serve the
|
||
|
|
`bin/` directory over HTTP. Then you just have to access to the URL showed in
|
||
|
|
the console from your mobile::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
buildozer serve
|
||
|
|
|
