Hi everyone. I am currently coding on PC, smartphone, and tablet according to the situation, and I am making an apk file with Buildozer on Ubuntu 20.04 (PC, X86 64BIT). If I'm using a good Android coding app called Pydroid3 and I can use Ubuntu on your smartphone or tablet, wouldn't I be able to create Android apps on Android Device? I've tried, but several times I have failed to install Kivy and found out that the method was wrong. I installed Kivy by installing it on the Raspberry Pi and it was successful. But again, Vildozer failed the installation. Maybe Buildozer doesn't support arm-linux?

Buildozer is a dumb Python script. But it (mostly indirectly) executes a lot of Linux build tools.
These build tools are the dependencies, the key to running Buildozer is to install the dependencies.
Failure to install all the dependencies will result in run time errors.

The dependencies are documented for Ubuntu (desktop) and MacOS   

On other Linux you get to figure it out, this requires some Linux fluency.

Android is not Linux, there are some options you could try for example rooting (I do not suggest this) or Termux (I don't know if this could work). This would require a greater Linux fluency.

Some users have seen issues using NTFS partitions mounted on Linux, and running as root is not recommended. Also some recipes may have additional dependencies.

Your speculation about processor architecture, may represent some dependency but not Buildozer it's self.

Thanks for the answer. However, I installed Ubuntu 20.04 (architecture arm-linux) from Android as Termux and installed the dependencies of the link, but eventually failed. This issue was an unnecessary idea of ​​mine, not to be called an issue, but thanks again for your kind response. I think I will have to develop it on a laptop for the time being
