Description

I'm trying to deploy my app with buildozer android deploy and buildozer android debug but I keep getting the same error no matter what settings I use. I tried:

p4a.source_dir = ~/p4a
p4a.bootstrap = sdl2

p4a.branch = master

android.api = 27
android.minapi = 21
android.sdk = 23
android.ndk = 17c
android.arch = armeabi-v7a

I also tried commenting out the the android. ... but neither solved my problem. Does anyone know what the error message means? Thank you in advance!

Hi! I see you have there a p4a.source_dir set. If you use a custom dir for python for android make sure you have the latest master branch :)

[Petar-Luketina]

@nitanmarcel Thank you for reminding me! I just updated it, but I still get the same error.

[nitanmarcel]

@Petar-Luketina make sure is the same error. The newer update brought me a new error as mentioned here kivy/python-for-android#1808

[nitanmarcel]

Some things you could try:

• Use the latest python version
  or/and
• Make sure you're on the right branch on your cloned repository by doing a git checkout master
  and this is required:
• Delete the .buildozer folder to make sure it builds again p4a

[Petar-Luketina]

• git checkout master

I tried the last two suggestions but I haven't tried to build with Python 3x. You still have to use Crysyax, correct?

I don't really remember. When I installed buildozer I just installed the dependencies and install it with sudo python3 setup.py install

sudo apt install -y \
    build-essential \
    ccache \
    git \
    libncurses5:i386 \
    libstdc++6:i386 \
    libgtk2.0-0:i386 \
    libpangox-1.0-0:i386 \
    libpangoxft-1.0-0:i386 \
    libidn11:i386 \
    python2.7 \
    python2.7-dev \
    openjdk-8-jdk \
    unzip \
    zlib1g-dev \
    zlib1g:i386 \
    libltdl-dev \
    libffi-dev \
    libssl-dev \
    autoconf \
    autotools-dev
    cmake

# Install Buildozer
git clone https://github.com/kivy/buildozer.git
cd buildozer
sudo python3 setup.py install

I did the above and got this error AttributeError: 'Namespace' object has no attribute 'ignore_setup_py'

Yes, that means you're on the right version 😆

The fix for that can be found here:

kivy/python-for-android#1809

[Petar-Luketina]

Cool! That's good to know. What file do I add this code to:

    build_recipes(build_order, python_modules, ctx, args.private if hasattr(args, "private") else None,
                  ignore_project_setup_py=args.ignore_setup_py if hasattr(args, "ignore_setup_py") else False,
                 )

[nitanmarcel]

The toolchain.py file needs to be edited. That was just a lazy fix of mine and incomplete. Better wait for the devs to approve that PR by JonasT as it contains the full fix :)

[Petar-Luketina]

Okay. Thank you for the heads up!

@Petar-Luketina the dev has approved the PR. Is safe to build your app now

[Petar-Luketina]

@nitanmarcel I did this just now:

git clone https://github.com/kivy/buildozer.git
cd buildozer
sudo python3 setup.py install

I still got the same error. Did your deployment work?

[nitanmarcel]

@Petar-Luketina The problem was with python-for-android so make sure you updated your repo, or comment out p4a.source_dir = ~/p4a and let buildozer download p4a for you.

Also make sure you deleted the . buildozer folder before building again :)

[Petar-Luketina]

@nitanmarcel I appreciate all your help! It worked flawlessly.
