Buildozer
=========

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, DO NOT USE.

Buildozer is a tool for creating application packages easilly.

The goal is to have one "buildozer.spec" file in your app directory: it
describe your application requirements, titles, etc.  Buildozer will use that
spec for create package for Android, iOS, Windows, OSX and Linux.

Usage example
-------------

#. Add buildozer repo into your PYTHONPATH.
#. Go into your application directory and do::

    buildozer.py init
    # edit the buildozer.spec, then
    buildozer.py android build

Example of commands::

    # buildozer commands
    buildozer.py clean

    # buildozer target command
    buildozer.py android update
    buildozer.py android install
    buildozer.py android debug
    buildozer.py android release

    # or all in one (compile in debug, install on device)
    buildozer.py android debug install

    # set the default command if nothing set
    buildozer.py setdefault android debug install
