#### Setup Android SDK for buildozer
Download the Android SDK, platform and build tools archives.
* Android API 23 SDK - https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r23-linux.tgz
* Android API 27 platform - https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-27_r01.zip
* Android build tools 26.0.1 - https://dl.google.com/android/repository/build-tools_r26.0.1-linux.
Create the `.buildozer` path (and the `android` sub-path) in your home folder if it doesn't already exist.
`mkdir ~/.buildozer`
`mkdir ~/.buildozer/android`
Extract the API 23 SDK to the `~/.buildozer/android` path and rename the extracted folder.
```
tar -xf android-sdk_r23-linux.tgz ~/.buildozer/android/platform/
mv ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-linux ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-23
```
Extract the API 27 platform archive into the `android-sdk-23` folder and rename the extracted folder.
```
unzip platform-27_r01.zip -d ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-23/platforms
mv ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-23/platforms/android-8.1.0 ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-23/platforms/android-27
```
Extract the the build tools 26.0.1 build tools into the `android-sdk-23` folder and rename the extracted folder.
```
mkdir -p ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-23/build-tools
unzip ~/.buildozer/android/platform/build-tools_r26.0.1-linux.zip -d ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-23/build-tools
mv ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-23/build-tools/android-8.0.0 ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-23/build-tools/26.0.1
```
Finally, create the Android SDK license file. This prevents being prompted to accept the SDK license during the build process.
```
mkdir -p ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-23/licenses
echo $'\nd56f5187479451eabf01fb78af6dfcb131a6481e' > ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-23/licenses/android-sdk-license
```
#### Setup Crystax Android NDK for buildozer
Download the Crystax Android NDK from https://us.crystax.net/download/crystax-ndk-10.3.2-linux-x86_64.tar.xz and extract. Remember to update `android.ndk_path` in your `buildozer.spec` to the path of the extracted Crystax NDK archive.
#### Build and Deploy
Run `npm i` in the `lbry-android/app` folder to install the necessary modules required by the React Native user interface.
