Android-for-Python-Users VS buildozer

my app crashes when I add MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to Buildozer or main.py permissions. I tried the AndroidPermission class too, with the same result

I have not done any mobile programming - but this resource should be helpful for Android programming: https://github.com/Android-for-Python/Android-for-Python-Users

see: https://github.com/Android-for-Python/Android-for-Python-Users

I suspect you have issues with the location of the JSON file. See: https://github.com/Android-for-Python/Android-for-Python-Users/blob/main/README.md

git clone https://github.com/kivy/buildozer.git

you can try buildozer (git rep of it https://github.com/kivy/buildozer)

I ran a code just now with a print function which lists files (recursively) which is a heck lot. All py files are replaced by pyc for everything. Even my main.py is converted to pyc and other code I wrote. I think it is required to convert to pyc. Since buildozer is the one compile I dont think there is an option to skip the optimization (README.md).

All right, got it. And shall I just use the code mentioned in https://github.com/kivy/buildozer/issues/1148 or should I make any changes?

git clone https://github.com/kivy/buildozer.git

I believe buildozer does not work on Windows, but you can likely get around it with something like WSL or a virtual machine

Hi I have an update as I got it working after searching and following this link. I also made the mistake of adding to the requirements “kivy-garden.matplotlib” rather than your recommendation. The app is now running on the android device—thanks for all the help!
