The problem is that "~/.local/share/python-for-android/build/other_builds/kivy-sdl2/armeabi/kivy/kivy/metrics.py" has already somehow -- at least partly -- patched (e.g. it contains "if USE_SDL2:" statement).
Original "metrics.py" comes/downloaded from "https://codeload.github.com/kivy/kivy/zip/master" during creating distribution then in patching phase fails since wrong differences.
If you edit and regenerate (back-patch) the file based on the relevant patch file:
"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pythonforandroid/recipes/kivy/android_sdl2_compat.patch"
p4a distribution creation script can finish its job.
