Readme

Buildozer

Buildozer is a tool for creating application packages easily.

The goal is to have one "buildozer.spec" file in your app directory, describing your application requirements and settings such as title, icon, included modules etc. Buildozer will use that spec to create a package for Android, iOS, Windows, OSX and/or Linux.

Buildozer currently supports packaging for Android via the python-for-android project, and for iOS via the kivy-ios project. iOS and OSX are still under work.

For Android, buildozer will automatically download and prepare the build dependencies. For more information, see Android-SDK-NDK-Information. Note that only Python 3 is supported.

Note that this tool has nothing to do with the eponymous online build service buildozer.io.

Installing Buildozer with target Python 3 (default):

Install buildozer:

# via pip (latest stable, recommended)
# if you use a virtualenv, don't use the `--user` option
pip install --user buildozer

# latest dev version
# if you use a virtualenv, don't use the `--user` option
pip install --user https://github.com/kivy/buildozer/archive/master.zip

# git clone, for working on buildozer
git clone https://github.com/kivy/buildozer
cd buildozer
python setup.py build
pip install -e .

Check buildozer is in your path

`which buildozer`
# if there is no result, and you installed with --user, add this line at the end of your `~/.bashrc` file.
export PATH=~/.local/bin/:$PATH
# and then run
. ~/.bashrc

Go into your application directory and run:

buildozer init
# edit the buildozer.spec, then
buildozer android debug deploy run

Buildozer Docker image

A Dockerfile is available to use buildozer through a Docker environment.

Build with:
```
docker build --tag=buildozer .
```

Run with:

docker run --volume "$(pwd)":/home/user/hostcwd buildozer --version

Buildozer GitHub action

Use ArtemSBulgakov/buildozer-action@v1 to build your packages automatically on push or pull request. See full workflow example.

Examples of Buildozer commands

# buildozer target command
buildozer android clean
buildozer android update
buildozer android deploy
buildozer android debug

# set the default command if nothing set

`buildozer.spec`

See buildozer/default.spec for an up-to-date spec file.

Default config

You can override the value of any buildozer.spec config token by setting an appropriate environment variable. These are all of the form $SECTION_TOKEN, where SECTION is the config file section and TOKEN is the config token to override. Dots are replaced by underscores.

For example, here are some config tokens from the [app] section of the config, along with the environment variables that would override them.

title -> $APP_TITLE
package.name -> $APP_PACKAGE_NAME
p4a.source_dir -> $APP_P4A_SOURCE_DIR
