I am trying to build for kivy in a VM and when i put the last command i get this error:

# Command failed: /usr/bin/python -m pythonforandroid.toolchain create --dist_name=myapp --bootstrap=sdl2 --requirements=python3,kivy --arch armeabi-v7a --copy-libs --color=always --storage-dir="/home/andrei/Downloads/.buildozer/android/platform/build" --ndk-api=21

I am getting this same error, and it appears that it has to do with Buildozer requiring Java version 8, which Ubuntu comes with version 11.

There is more info here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46402772/failed-to-install-android-sdk-java-lang-noclassdeffounderror-javax-xml-bind-a and here #832

I think the instructions could be expanded to explain how to have two java versions co-exist on an Ubuntu system (if necessary) and how to tell buildozer which version to use exactly

[simon2x]

OS: Ubuntu 18.04

Installing Java version 8 fixed this issue for me.

sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

I used the following cmd line to interactively change default java version.

sudo update-alternatives --config java

I was able to get buildozer working again with Java 11 on Linux Mint with these tips:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53076422/getting-android-sdkmanager-to-run-with-java-11

[AndreMiras]

This error java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError has indeed to do with the JDK version where Buildozer only supported version 8, refs https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/blob/v2020.04.29/doc/source/troubleshooting.rst#errors-related-to-java-version
This got updated recently in the master branch (unreleased) via #1135
So either use OpenJDK 8 or pip install the master branch
