Please note that -the default SDK/NDK coded in Buildozer works for target Python 2. -For target Python 3, use appropriate SDK/NDK as per the documentation, and ensure you -have `python3` in your requirements. -You can still use Crystax Python 3, see `Installing Buildozer with target Python 3 -(CrystaX) <#installing-buildozer-with-target-python-3-crystax>`_. -For host Python, both versions are seamlessly supported. - -We provide a ready-to-use `Virtual Machine for Virtualbox `_. - -Note that this tool has nothing to do with the eponymous online build service -`buildozer.io `_. - -Installing Buildozer with target Python 3 (default): ----------------------------------------------------- - -#. Install buildozer:: - - # via pip (latest stable, recommended) - sudo pip install buildozer - - # latest dev version - sudo pip install https://github.com/kivy/buildozer/archive/master.zip - - # git clone, for working on buildozer - git clone https://github.com/kivy/buildozer - cd buildozer - python setup.py build - sudo pip install -e . - -#. Go into your application directory and run:: - - buildozer init - # edit the buildozer.spec, then - buildozer android debug deploy run - -Installing Buildozer with target Python 2: ------------------------------------------ - -#. Follow the same installation and buildozer init as Python 3 - -#. Make sure the following lines are in your buildozer.spec file.:: - - # Changes python3 to python2 - requirements = python2,kivy - -#. Finally, build, deploy and run the app on your phone:: - - buildozer android debug deploy run - - -Installing Buildozer with target Python 3 (CrystaX, deprecated): ----------------------------------------------------------------- - -After following the steps above to install buildozer and generate the default spec file, -you need to setup Crystax NDK as described below. - -#. Download and extract the Crystax NDK somewhere (~/.buildozer/crystax-ndk is one option): https://www.crystax.net/en/download - -#.

Finally, build, deploy and run the app on your phone:: - - buildozer android debug deploy run - - - -Buildozer Docker image ----------------------- - -A Dockerfile is available to use buildozer through a Docker environment. - -#.

Args must come after --, or - use --alias to make an alias - logcat Show the log from the device - - Target "ios" commands: - list_identities List the available identities to use for signing. - xcode Open the xcode project. - - Target "android" commands: - adb Run adb from the Android SDK. Args must come after --, or - use --alias to make an alias - logcat Show the log from the device - p4a Run p4a commands. Args must come after --, or use --alias - to make an alias - - - -buildozer.spec --------------- - -See `buildozer/default.spec `_ for an up-to-date spec file. - - -Default config --------------- - -You can override the value of *any* buildozer.spec config token by -setting an appropriate environment variable. These are all of the -form ``$SECTION_TOKEN``, where SECTION is the config file section and -TOKEN is the config token to override. Dots are replaced by -underscores. - -For example, here are some config tokens from the [app] section of the -config, along with the environment variables that would override them. - -- ``title`` -> ``$APP_TITLE`` -- ``package.name`` -> ``$APP_PACKAGE_NAME`` -- ``p4a.source_dir`` -> ``$APP_P4A_SOURCE_DIR`` - -Note: config tokens must first be defined in `buildozer.spec` before they can be overridden. - -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 :) - -Support -------- - -If you need assistance, you can ask for help on our mailing list: - -* User Group : https://groups.google.com/group/kivy-users -* Email : kivy-users@googlegroups.com - -We also have an IRC channel: - -* Server : irc.freenode.net -* Port : 6667, 6697 (SSL only) -* Channel : #kivy - -Contributing ------------- - -We love pull requests and discussing novel ideas.
