[@Red_Blocky]

Better than the "bigger" channels!

[@ahmadcooper40]

Thanks. It's a bit dated, things have changed so it doesn't 100% work with this method now. But I'm too busy to Reupload 😅

[@hackzgamezyt]

Keep it up bro clear n easy to understand👌

[@ahmadcooper40]

Happy to help, cheers

DON'T USE GITHUB IF YOU WANT TO WORK WITH THE ANDROID'S CAMERA, IT WILL GIVE YOU THE ERROR KIVY._CLOCK. YOU ARE WELCOME.

[@Lasswee]

So if I build the kivy APK using Linux. And I am accessing Android camera by the opencv code in my kivy main code file will that build work to access Android camera

[@ryveltimothystamber1739]

Nice, clear explanation 👍

[@MPM-ShopCompany]

Ok well good but what is if my Code needs to write and read the memory of the Android Phone? I need to have ther permission from the Android Phone for that. Do I need to program this in my Code or do I need to put it in the buildozer spec file.

[@ahmadcooper40]

This video is outdated, that is, things have changed and this exact process doesn't work. I could update it later, but I'm quite busy. I've made an app that does what you say. You nred to update both the code and the spec file. Bjt the spec file just needs the packages you used. You can download my APK to tesr it out, and copy my script and modify it: github.com/AhmadAC/MolarMassApp/actions/runs/7405735045

[@ahmadcooper40]

To copy the android clipboard, update your import in your python file: from kivy.core.clipboard import Clipboard (for my app) Spec file: requirements = python3==3.7.6,hostpython3==3.7.6,kivy,pillow,molmass

Hi thanks for the video, but i dont understand which python files generally you need to upload? pls let me know.

[@jamaisentendu]

I have a problem with the build.yml file when converting the app

[@ahmadcooper40]

There could be lot of reasons why the build.yml file could fail. If you followed the steps exactly in the video, and used the files provided. It should work. Unless things have changed (software versions etc.) between when I posted the video and now. I don't know how to troubleshoot any issues since I'm still learning. You can check the buildozer documentation in the website or go r/kivy on Reddit and see if someone can help there. Hope that helps!

[@linzh2753]

Hi, it appears that the liscence for Android Software Development Kit License Agreement and Android SDK Preview License Agreement isnt accepted in the code. Thus leading to "Aidl not found, please install it." error. May I know how I can fix this? Thank you.

[@ahmadcooper40]

No idea. Maybe ask in Reddit.

[@linzh2753]

@@ahmadcooper40 I have finally gotten it to work but with Google colab. If using GitHub, the right build code needs to be used. Some code online manages to accept only 1 licence, others could accept 2. As for Google colab, I used codes which were updated to fix errors, mainly outdated cython and missing libiffi6 and others, and it finally worked

[@yujin1569]

I have the same problem

[@yujin1569]

[@demiscunningham7340]

how can I connect with you? I have a project thats quite big

[@zombiebloodsparkle1]

if i want to update the files do i have to rebuild it everytime? i dont wanna wait 25mins each time

[@ahmadcooper40]

Unfortunately you do, its honestly the less painful way compared to rebuilding it on your own computer. I recommend testing scripts you would like to compile to android on your pc before you compile it. Pydroid3 works pretty well on android also.

@@ahmadcooper40 ah dang, ill just use linux on a VM itll be faster

[@ahmadcooper40]

@@zombiebloodsparkle1 How fast can you build an android app on linux with a VM?

[@zombiebloodsparkle1]

@@ahmadcooper40 When using linux u dont need to use github, you use buildozer directly. So when you first compile it, it'll take 20min but when u change code and compile it again itll take about 30sec

[@ahmadcooper40]

@@zombiebloodsparkle1 That's cool, didn't know about that. Which linux distro do you use? Ubuntu?

👏 👏 bravo good job

[@josephkhoshghalb3962]

hello why it doesnt open the git hub signe in? like at 6:17

[@ahmadcooper40]

have you installed Git? gitforwindows.org/

[@josephkhoshghalb3962]

@@ahmadcooper40 yes maybe I have to download the files in some specific places?

[@ahmadcooper40]

The problem is setting up github, once github is set up the rest of the tutorial should work. Try look around online for solutions.

[@josephkhoshghalb3962]

@@ahmadcooper40 thank you

[@vibgyorbk19]

bro please make new tutorial

[@ahmadcooper40]

Sorry I can't help. Idk why but it worked 4 months ago and now it doesn't. It's honestly not worth the effort because every few months something can change and it'll break the conversion to apk.

[@dndjdjdju]

​@@ahmadcooper40 What to do then?

[@Billy-yx6se]

Try a build with target api 31

[@Billy-yx6se]

How can we do this in google colab?

[@ahmadcooper40]

This video is for GitHub. I haven't tried Google collab.

[@Apluen]

What's command in Linux?

[@ahmadcooper40]

This method uses Github+Windows, I don't know the Linux command.
