I installed everything according to https://python-for-android.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart/

but ended up getting the error I posted. Can someone please help me get p4a installed....

Linux Ubuntu 64 VM on Win7 64

I tried pip install --user pipenv

Same error.

This returned unknown command: sudo -H pip3.6 install -U pipenv

==============Update=========================

I ran the p4a install with sudo and it installed. I then got an error about sh 1.10 so I rand pip and installed that. Now I'm getting the error,

In my Documents folder I have the android NDK, build toos and tools folders. In the bashrc, I have the tokens:

export ANDROIDSDK="$HOME/kivy/Documents/android-sdk-27"
export ANDROIDNDK="$HOME/kivy/Documents/android-ndk-r17c"
export ANDROIDAPI="26"
export NDKAPI="19"
export ANDROIDNDKVER="r17c"

I'm guessing I have something wrong because the p4a docs didn't say android studio had to be downloaded and as for the SDK, it said only the tools where needed.

===============UpDate====================

Apparently I don't even have a real android-sdk dir and creating one and dropping the tools/build-tools in doesn't work.

Do I need to download the full Android Studio and then use its manager to download the SDK?

  • You don't need Android Studio, you do need an SDK with build tools and the platform-tools for your target API. If you use buildozer, it should handle this part for you. – inclement Apr 13 '19 at 14:22
  • @chitondihk: Please check out [Kivy Buildozer Virtual Machine Setup for Windows](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50126562/python-kivy-app-to-apk-on-windows-what-to-do-after-installing-a-virtual-machin/50145180#50145180) and [Kivy Buildozer Commands](https://github.com/kivy/buildozer). – ikolim Apr 13 '19 at 18:08
  • Buildozer is broken and I'm moving away from that. I have p4a installed, I just need the android-sdk folder. I actually got p4a working before in the past and even then, I had android studio installed. In fact, the android studio site doesn't just let you download the sdk anymore. You have to do it through android studio. – chitondihk Apr 13 '19 at 21:09
