I always get the error message: "Unknown command/target android" after the command "buildozer -v android debug". I followed your tutorial step by step so far. I only used a different python-file and some picture which were all in the folder- Do you have an idea what the problem could be? Good explanations btw. ;)
Hi Tim! 😃 Are you using Windows 7 by any chance? Sorry, I haven't encountered this error earlier but I've noticed somebody on stack overflow did and they were using Windows 7: stackoverflow.com/questions/60077141/building-an-android-app-with-kivybuildozer/70162831#70162831 It seems that something is wrong with the Buildozer installation but I couldn't find a proper solution to it online... everyone just replies with "you can't work with Buildozer on Windows" and refers to Google Colab (which never even seemed to work for me). I don't think it's the problem here, but does your version of Kivy and KivyMD matches mine? you can find out the exact version with "conda list" or "pip list" and make sure you update it in the requirements in your buildozer.spec file. (it's a long shot, it's probably unrelated but it's worth a try) If everything matches but the error repeats, do you mind loading your code to Github so I can take a closer look? Thanks! 😊
@@PythonSimplified Thanks a lot! I found a way now. I still don't now what the problem is but here is the short story: I used to convert my python apps via Colab to APKs for my android phone. For some reason it stopped working and that is why I looked up your video. Your way doesn't work for my setup for some reason (maybe I did something wrong idk). But you gave me that idea to check the version of my kivy application. Now that I have updated my kivy, the old way works again! So thanks again for the quick reply and for your video! A lot! Because I spend 3 days on that problem by now and it didn't cross my mind to check if my kivy version was old (yeah I guess I am dumb lol). Thanks!
@@timmaassen9234 wow!! I can't believe it worked!! I didn't think it was the problem but I'm super happy it helped!!! 😃😃😃 Also happy to hear that the Colab way works for you! Do you mind sharing which tutorial you followed to get it done? It might help other folks who stumble upon this video and have issues with the WSL way 😊

Your detailed and clear explanations were unique to me and helped me to create an android app in my cell phone and tablet.

Thank you Lopo!! 😁 it is indeed very easy when you follow my tutorial! Can't say it was anywhere near easy to figure out without it though 😅 There are many Stack Overflow and Github debugging threads scattered around the internet... so it's like finding a fish in the ocean 🤪 Mounting C: and matching the Windows adb server were quite a nightmare... but not anymore! 😉
Hi, I have successfully created the APK and I tried opening it on my phone but it is not opening. It is showing loading with the kivy logo and closing. Please help me.
hey i might be late on this video but at 12:59 when i executed the cmd "buildozer -v aandroid debug" it didnt give me an error and its still going on debugging something and its been more than 30mins now . I just wanna know that if its normal or not
Hello my dear and beautiful programmer friend, this topic is very interesting. I speak Spanish and I will see a way to learn what you explain to us. Thanks
Might be a stupid question, but is it possible to install these application at the external SD-card, if these is formated as "internal storage" or must it be installed next to the operating system? But besides: Great work! I was searching a long time for these topic...
At 6:07 I am constantly getting the error of "python error could not find a version that satisfies the requirement buildozer" even though I used the latest adb files from the Internet. Any suggestions?
is it required to have the adb in my project folder? If I run the "buildozer -v android debug" in the project folder in /mnt/c/users/... I get an error (not the permission error, before the red text there is nothing specifically mentioned). Do you know what the problem could be? If I copy the project to my home directory on the ubuntu, I am able to build the apk. When running the App on the phone though it crashes after the loading screen.
Hey there, I'm quite new to kivy and exporting apk. I was wondering if the three adb files could have been copy/pasted in the B2D files to replace them? Else why not? Thanks a lot! :)
I'm so thankful to see this video. Hope it works once I followed your steps. Thank you. By the way, I already subscribed in your channel. I expect more Python videos in the future.
Your tutorials are the best. Thank you for sharing. I am trying to figure out my app that includes sqlite3, a form and a list for a CRM System. It works fine on my laptop. But It keeps crashing after showing the first form screen. I am using linux mint 20.1, python 3.8, kivy 2.1.0 and kivymd 1.1.1.. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.
I don't really work with python, only for small things, but your explanations are so good that i understand everything and i've been practicing with your videos, thanks Mariya!
Greetings, i have a Xiaomi and run through your video with the downloaded B2D-App, but the app wont start as used to... How can i fix it or wich smartphone would be better?
Hello! Your tutorial is really very good! BUT I found an error why this didn't work now, in Mai 2022. Thr module buildozer was updating, and with the latest version of buildozer (1.3.0) it print an error! So now you have to manually set up the version 1.2.0 of buildozer. So when you have to install the buildozer you have to write: pip3 install --user --upgrade buildozer==1.2.0 I found the solution by myself, it was a pain in my head but now it's work very well! Enjoy! 25 Mai 2022 - Worked!
I get the following error message when running the buildozer -v android debug command: "WARNING: pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available". Could you help me out?
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I deployed a snake game that I built, to my phone and I feel like a genius :D Thank you for your explanations, your playful attitude, and for making me feel like a genius.
first of all, it worked perfectly fine though it took like an hour so thank you so much for the tutorial. my question is, so the second time we want to update the changes, do we run like this for like an hour? love from Ethiopia
Hi Samri 😊 If you're just updating your app, without deleting the "bin" directory - it shouldn't take you so much time as you already have most of the packages built. So if buildozer detects the package in the directory - it should skip installing it and move on to the next command. On my end, it was substantially faster to update an existing .apk file rather than to build from scratch. I usually change the title and name of this file into "myName_version2" or something of that sort so you can keep your previous version of the .apk as well to help with testing 😀 Good luck! and please let me know how long the update took on your end... I believe that on my end it takes 20 minutes to build and about 10 minutes to update. Annnnnd of course sending some love back from Canada! 😁
@@PythonSimplified hey again :) so the second time I ran it, it took like 5 minutes or something...so I have this problem now. I am building my interface using kivymd and when I run it on my android phone it's not displaying it on full screen. it is displaying it in the right corner of the screen so what do you think is the problem? please help I have no idea how to solve it and the project submission date is near
Oh wow, I'm super happy it only took 5 minutes! I would check the following things: - How new is your version of Android? - Are you modifying the size of your screen inside the Python file? - Are you using Screen? it should be the container of your layout (GridLayout for example) Let me know if any of these resolved the issue :)
@@PythonSimplified my phone's android version is 9 and yes the first time i ran it i limited the size using windows.size but then i deleted that line and ran it again but still no difference, and yes i used screen and also screen manager...so i am still trying to understand why its not working but i just can't figure it out and project due date is near please help dear
@@samrierena1723 that's so weird Samri 🤔 I'll pin your comment to the top and see if anybody watching this video handled this situation and might be able to help... please load your code to Github and send us a link, we'll need to figure out what's causing these issues as I couldn't find anything similar on Stack Overflow and other debugging platforms. Could you try to load it onto a different device? Android 9 should be good as it's relatively new, but maybe something else on the devices end is not interrogating the .apk file properly? Also when is your project due? I can film a short later on today to see if anybody can help 😊
I am enjoyed the lecture, however, i keep getting this error : c compiler cannot create executables buildozer, please what should i do, i am just new to this whole kivy conversion episode
Wow Your chanel is amazing and it shows from the quality, explanation and the languages subtitles. This day I got one question. Can I do the whole process using only git bash (without downloading Ubuntu App and the dependences of kali linux)?. Because I understand you need linux to do the whole process but git bash is a linux terminal too. Greetings from El Salvador
Oops!! YES!! you're right!!! sorry for not catching it! 😅 It's uncommented on buildozedr.spec on Github but I missed that while filming the video 🙃 Thanks for letting me know!
@@PythonSimplified So I managed to get this to work. It took over an hour to run. Didn't think my computer was quite that slow. I looked back at my buildozer.spec and these lines are still commented out. Was this the reason it was so slow? Should it have worked with those lines commented out? I haven't done a deep dive into understanding buildozer yet. Thanks for the video!
@@keithramey4723 it's substantially slower than compiling a desktop application! I believe it's because Python is not the go-to language for Android apps. It's definitley usable! But professional developers usually use Kotlin or Java for that... 😊 I think that in the future Python will be much more popular for mobile apps (and in general 😉), but until then - it's a long conversion process! Also you'll need to uncomment those lines because they don't count as commands if you leave them as a comment... but if your icons are already showing on your mobile device - you don't even need to! 😀
@@PythonSimplified So I tried the tip from another comment. I copied the files to the WSL file system. Compiling went from just over an hour to about 18 minutes.
hahahaha thank you! converting with Linux is easy enough, you don't need me there! 😊 The real challenge is getting Windows to behave! 😵 ... ALWAYS! with EVERYTHING! hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
Hi, I did as told and created the APK and installed it. But when I open it the app tries loading and crashes. Can you please guide me on how to rectify this?
I'm getting an HTTPError: HTTP Error 503: Service Unavailable. The downloading worked the first time and even got through a couple of yes' options but then it gave me that HTTP error. After the error, now every time I run the buildozer -v android debug i can't even get to the first yes or no option. I'm using library public Wi Fi.
hi, i am getting this error: sdkmanager path "/root/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk/tools/bin/sdkmanager" does not exist, sdkmanager is notinstalled how can i fixed this?
I remember trying to port to my android app and failed so miserably I just ended up using JPython and cython using android native c++ from Android studio with a opengl prefab. Guess I should have just ran an update on kivy but I did become better at C, Python, just about the same of Java. I hate how redundant Java is,so I try to avoid using it
hi, mount: /mnt/c: C: already mounted or mount point busy. init: (9751) ERROR: UtilCreateProcessAndWait:501: /bin/mount failed with status 0x2000 No error information
Thanks. The ADB bridge part confused me. Ultimately, I think what you're saying is to upload to a phone, we need a folder with a main.py program, and 3 files from SDK (adb.exe and two .dll). However, the adb.exe from the SDK download probably won't match our Linux version--- so we should just copy these three files from your github. Is that correct?
Can you please tell me what should I do... I am getting error- build failed: requested api target 27 is not available, install it with sdk android tool ... while debugging
Hi Mariya, I really need your help here. I used libraries such as openpyxl and random in my kivy app. It works fine when running in windows. I followed your video on converting to apk but after building the apps I opened it in my mobile and it shows the kivy loading.. and crash. I did add openpyxl in the library and its version as instructed. Then i exclude openpyxl and random from my app and it works fine. So, how can I used those libraries?. Does buildozer not support openpyxl, random or any other library than kivy.
Hi Mariya, I had build a Car Game using Python library "Pygame" for my high school project. I was able to make its setup file and install on any computer and play.

stackoverflow.com/questions/60077141/building-an-android-app-with-kivybuildozer/70162831#70162831
It seems that something is wrong with the Buildozer installation but I couldn't find a proper solution to it online... everyone just replies with "you can't work with Buildozer on Windows" and refers to Google Colab (which never even seemed to work for me).
I don't think it's the problem here, but does your version of Kivy and KivyMD matches mine? you can find out the exact version with "conda list" or "pip list" and make sure you update it in the requirements in your buildozer.spec file. (it's a long shot, it's probably unrelated but it's worth a try)

Wow: This is Incredibly Helpful, Thanks ~
You Are My Favorite Computer Instructor On The "Tube" ~
Keep it Coming ~
Thank you so much, always a pleasure reading your comments! 😁😁😁
Thank you for this video. This was very useful for me I don't know about other's❤️
Does it work if we have multiple folders in the main.py directory? Do I have to change any line in the spec file or just keep it like in the video?
you are a great teacher explaning everything clearly. glad ı found your channel. subscribed.
Hi, I have successfully created the APK and I tried opening it on my phone but it is not opening. It is showing loading with the kivy logo and closing. Please help me.
hey i might be late on this video but at 12:59 when i executed the cmd "buildozer -v aandroid debug" it didnt give me an error and its still going on debugging something and its been more than 30mins now . I just wanna know that if its normal or not
i did everything but my app gets closed when i click to open it. It does not opens
Hello my dear and beautiful programmer friend, this topic is very interesting. I speak Spanish and I will see a way to learn what you explain to us. Thanks
1. Is there any sample application you make?
2. How will you transform youraab file?
3. How will you add ads into the application?
hello ma'am..... my app just shows the loading screen and close, plz help me!!!!!!!!!!😥😥😥
at 11:48 how do you check your kivymd version? I can check my kivy version from pip freeze, but can't see my kivymd version under pip freeze
Hi!!! Thanks to you .....my apk is ready but do you know how to create option of in app purchase?
OMG "OFC we have read all of them" haha u maide my day Maia Thx
Hi Mariya, thanks for the video. I have a question: how did you get the adb version 1.0.39? I could not find it.
Might be a stupid question, but is it possible to install these application at the external SD-card, if these is formated as "internal storage" or must it be installed next to the operating system? But besides: Great work! I was searching a long time for these topic...
At 6:07 I am constantly getting the error of "python error could not find a version that satisfies the requirement buildozer" even though I used the latest adb files from the Internet. Any suggestions?
My APK is not working it's open and close automatically. It's an weather app need solution please 😓
is it required to have the adb in my project folder?
If I run the "buildozer -v android debug" in the project folder in /mnt/c/users/... I get an error (not the permission error, before the red text there is nothing specifically mentioned). Do you know what the problem could be?
If I copy the project to my home directory on the ubuntu, I am able to build the apk. When running the App on the phone though it crashes after the loading screen.
I love you so much i have been waiting for this video for months
I love you so very much
Hey there, I'm quite new to kivy and exporting apk. I was wondering if the three adb files could have been copy/pasted in the B2D files to replace them? Else why not? Thanks a lot! :)
I'm so thankful to see this video. Hope it works once I followed your steps. Thank you. By the way, I already subscribed in your channel. I expect more Python videos in the future.
Your tutorials are the best. Thank you for sharing. I am trying to figure out my app that includes sqlite3, a form and a list for a CRM System. It works fine on my laptop. But It keeps crashing after showing the first form screen. I am using linux mint 20.1, python 3.8, kivy 2.1.0 and kivymd 1.1.1.. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.
Does this work In Pygame?
Waity waity .
So excited
Thank you, super happy to hear that! 😁
I don't really work with python, only for small things, but your explanations are so good that i understand everything and i've been practicing with your videos, thanks Mariya!
Greetings, i have a Xiaomi and run through your video with the downloaded B2D-App, but the app wont start as used to... How can i fix it or wich smartphone would be better?
Hello! Your tutorial is really very good! BUT I found an error why this didn't work now, in Mai 2022. Thr module buildozer was updating, and with the latest version of buildozer (1.3.0) it print an error! So now you have to manually set up the version 1.2.0 of buildozer. So when you have to install the buildozer you have to write: pip3 install --user --upgrade buildozer==1.2.0
I found the solution by myself, it was a pain in my head but now it's work very well! Enjoy!
25 Mai 2022 - Worked!
Thanks for the energetic tutorial as always. The line was left commented out while setting config to point to github fork. Was that intentional?
I get the following error message when running the buildozer -v android debug command: "WARNING: pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available". Could you help me out?
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I deployed a snake game that I built, to my phone and I feel like a genius :D Thank you for your explanations, your playful attitude, and for making me feel like a genius.
first of all, it worked perfectly fine though it took like an hour so thank you so much for the tutorial. my question is, so the second time we want to update the changes, do we run like this for like an hour? love from Ethiopia
Hi Samri 😊
If you're just updating your app, without deleting the "bin" directory - it shouldn't take you so much time as you already have most of the packages built. So if buildozer detects the package in the directory - it should skip installing it and move on to the next command.
On my end, it was substantially faster to update an existing .apk file rather than to build from scratch. I usually change the title and name of this file into "myName_version2" or something of that sort so you can keep your previous version of the .apk as well to help with testing 😀
Good luck! and please let me know how long the update took on your end... I believe that on my end it takes 20 minutes to build and about 10 minutes to update.
Annnnnd of course sending some love back from Canada! 😁
@@PythonSimplified
hey again :)
so the second time I ran it, it took like 5 minutes or something...so I have this problem now. I am building my interface using kivymd and when I run it on my android phone it's not displaying it on full screen. it is displaying it in the right corner of the screen so what do you think is the problem? please help I have no idea how to solve it and the project submission date is near
Oh wow, I'm super happy it only took 5 minutes!
I would check the following things:
- How new is your version of Android?
- Are you modifying the size of your screen inside the Python file?
- Are you using Screen? it should be the container of your layout (GridLayout for example)
Let me know if any of these resolved the issue :)
@@PythonSimplified my phone's android version is 9 and yes the first time i ran it i limited the size using windows.size but then i deleted that line and ran it again but still no difference, and yes i used screen and also screen manager...so i am still trying to understand why its not working but i just can't figure it out and project due date is near please help dear
@@samrierena1723 that's so weird Samri 🤔 I'll pin your comment to the top and see if anybody watching this video handled this situation and might be able to help... please load your code to Github and send us a link, we'll need to figure out what's causing these issues as I couldn't find anything similar on Stack Overflow and other debugging platforms. Could you try to load it onto a different device? Android 9 should be good as it's relatively new, but maybe something else on the devices end is not interrogating the .apk file properly?
Also when is your project due? I can film a short later on today to see if anybody can help 😊
I am enjoyed the lecture, however, i keep getting this error : c compiler cannot create executables buildozer, please what should i do, i am just new to this whole kivy conversion episode
Wow Your chanel is amazing and it shows from the quality, explanation and the languages subtitles. This day I got one question. Can I do the whole process using only git bash (without downloading Ubuntu App and the dependences of kali linux)?. Because I understand you need linux to do the whole process but git bash is a linux terminal too. Greetings from El Salvador
Hi! What program did you use to mirror your phones srcreen, and what did you use for the UI?
E: Package 'python3-pip' has no installation candidate
17:47 p4a.fork and p4a.branch should be uncommented, presumably.
Oops!! YES!! you're right!!! sorry for not catching it! 😅
It's uncommented on buildozedr.spec on Github but I missed that while filming the video 🙃
Thanks for letting me know!
@@PythonSimplified So I managed to get this to work. It took over an hour to run. Didn't think my computer was quite that slow. I looked back at my buildozer.spec and these lines are still commented out. Was this the reason it was so slow? Should it have worked with those lines commented out? I haven't done a deep dive into understanding buildozer yet. Thanks for the video!
@@keithramey4723 it's substantially slower than compiling a desktop application! I believe it's because Python is not the go-to language for Android apps. It's definitley usable! But professional developers usually use Kotlin or Java for that... 😊
I think that in the future Python will be much more popular for mobile apps (and in general 😉), but until then - it's a long conversion process!
Also you'll need to uncomment those lines because they don't count as commands if you leave them as a comment... but if your icons are already showing on your mobile device - you don't even need to! 😀
@@PythonSimplified So I tried the tip from another comment. I copied the files to the WSL file system. Compiling went from just over an hour to about 18 minutes.
as a linux enthusiast,you lost me at "and then restart...."🤣
just kidding, great tutorial, thanks
hahahaha thank you! converting with Linux is easy enough, you don't need me there! 😊
The real challenge is getting Windows to behave! 😵
...
ALWAYS! with EVERYTHING! hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
@@PythonSimplified haha, behave..i like that😘
for me its more a beehive, total chaos and no matter how i address it, it hurts 😩😅
Hey mariya I have a question. Do we need the adb server if we are using our own python file? Sorry if this is s dumb question😅
i went to the link if windows Subsystem docs but i did not see the steps and the things you were talking about .
Good video. As a student of python and other languages, this was helpful
Hi, I did as told and created the APK and installed it. But when I open it the app tries loading and crashes. Can you please guide me on how to rectify this?
I'm getting an HTTPError: HTTP Error 503: Service Unavailable. The downloading worked the first time and even got through a couple of yes' options but then it gave me that HTTP error. After the error, now every time I run the buildozer -v android debug i can't even get to the first yes or no option. I'm using library public Wi Fi.
hi, i am getting this error:
sdkmanager path "/root/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk/tools/bin/sdkmanager" does not exist, sdkmanager is notinstalled
how can i fixed this?
So that's where I need to download the SDK, thank you!
You're welcome! 😊
Just make sure your Windows adb version is matching the Linux one! 😉 (if you're compiling this on a Windows machine)
Damn that's a lot of work. Those Python makers didn't make it easy did they? I appreciate you taking it step by step though.
Hi. I try to make that on Linux (VirtualBox) I need to install a Kivy before i run buildozer?
What's adb used for? I mean... how do buildozer and adb interact?
I remember trying to port to my android app and failed so miserably I just ended up using JPython and cython using android native c++ from Android studio with a opengl prefab. Guess I should have just ran an update on kivy but I did become better at C, Python, just about the same of Java. I hate how redundant Java is,so I try to avoid using it
please help my problem is when i do sudo apt python3-pip it says "Package 'python3-pip' has no installation candidate"
hi, mount: /mnt/c: C: already mounted or mount point busy.
init: (9751) ERROR: UtilCreateProcessAndWait:501: /bin/mount failed with status 0x2000
No error information
resolved!!!
How?
Same problem here
@@cacosanchez Don't just say "Resolved" XD. Give us adleast a clue XD
please relate the answer!
Thanks. The ADB bridge part confused me. Ultimately, I think what you're saying is to upload to a phone, we need a folder with a main.py program, and 3 files from SDK (adb.exe and two .dll). However, the adb.exe from the SDK download probably won't match our Linux version--- so we should just copy these three files from your github. Is that correct?
thx your comment was very helpful :)
Can you please tell me what should I do... I am getting error- build failed: requested api target 27 is not available, install it with sdk android tool ... while debugging
Hi Mariya, I really need your help here. I used libraries such as openpyxl and random in my kivy app. It works fine when running in windows. I followed your video on converting to apk but after building the apps I opened it in my mobile and it shows the kivy loading.. and crash. I did add openpyxl in the library and its version as instructed. Then i exclude openpyxl and random from my app and it works fine. So, how can I used those libraries?. Does buildozer not support openpyxl, random or any other library than kivy.
Love your work, keep it up
I put my taskbar like in the left side. It's soo satisfying to be on left. Right ?
Hi Mariya, I had build a Car Game using Python library "Pygame" for my high school project. I was able to make its setup file and install on any computer and play. But I wanted to run the game on my android phone. Tried using this tutorial but not helpful can you suggest some way of making an apk from Pygame lib in python.
You know now?
