recipe for plyer in p4a master branch?

[kra...@gmail.com]

I am trying to use the dev version of buildozer to build python-for-android from the mater branch but it appears that there is no recipe for plyer on the master branch.

I am looking at: https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/tree/master/pythonforandroid/recipes

Could I be missing something or might there by a python-for-android branch that uses the newer toolchain and has a receipe for plyer?  (even if it is experimental....)

thanks,

Mike

Plyer is available on pip, so it probably shouldn't need a recipe.

If it does need one, you can add one easily (it would be a trivial PythonRecipe with the url pointing at the downlaod link of its github repo).

If i can get plyer via pip then that would be fine but how do i do a pip install on android?  Is plyer pure android or does it need some arch specific backend processing?

I managed to get something working by building with the old toolchain but then had to modify the __init__ for android to that the PythonService pointed to the org.kivy.android.PythonService for autoclassing (for the new tool chain) rather than org.renpy.android.PythonActivity - so in this case I am not sure how a pip install would help (I just checked the pip installed plyer on osx and it was autoclassed using org.renpy.android.PythonActivity so I don't think the source from pip would work on its own.)

If the recipe is that easy I might go ahead and try it myself - the last time I looked into recipes for building lxml for android and ios it was a bit more than I wanted to do at the time but I will check it out.

thanks!

Mike

Just add plyer to the requirements; any requirement without a recipe is
installed from pip (if possible - if it's not there or pip tries to
compile it, the build will fail).

>> Just add plyer to the requirements;

I did have plyer in the requirements line of the buildozer spec but for some reason that did not work.

The build process did not complain, but when it was done there was no plyer anywhere in the resulting build directories or python installation.

And do you know how the pip install option might address the problem w/ the autoclassing?

thanks for your help,

Mike

Try to do a clean build maybe you have a stale/corrupted download that is not letting player be installed.

The best way to make sure is to clean all the cache in ~/.buildozer/android/packages and remove app/.buildozer and start a new build.

Is it sufficient if i just remove the entire /home/kivy/.buildozer directory, as well as .local/share/python-for-android and build from scratch? I know this will go through the entire process of downloading the sdk and ndk but it seems like this should do the full build from scratch (??)

When I try this using the android_master argument for buildozer and having plyer in the requirements it goes through the entire build process w/o complaining but plyer is still nowhere to be found in either the .buildozer folder or in .local/share/python-for-android/dist/, at least that was the case when i tried about a week ago.

I will try this again and see what happens. 

thanks.

Hi. I had similar issue, when I mixed python2 and 3 installations: see this bug https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/issues/795
