## Buildozer Virtual Machine
The current virtual machine (available via https://kivy.org/downloads/) allow
you to have a ready to use vm for building android application.
### Using shared folders
If the Virtualbox Guest tools are outdated, install the latest one:
- in the Virtualbox: `Devices` -> `Install Guest Additions CD images`
- in the guest/linux: Go to the cdrom and run the installer
- reboot the vm
VirtualBox filesystem doesn't support symlink anymore (don't
try the setextradata solution, it doesn't work.). So you must
do the build outside the shared folder. One solution:
- `sudo mkdir /build`
- `sudo chown kivy /build`
- In your buildozer.spec, section `[buildozer]`, set `build_dir = /build/buildozer-myapp`
### Using your devices via the VM
There is a little icon on the bottom left that represent an USB plug.
Select it, and select your android device on it. Then you can check:
buildozer android adb -- devices
If it doesn't, use Google. They are so many differents way / issues
depending your phone that Google will be your only source of
information, not us :)
