Hey everyone!

I need a bit of help converting my .py file into an APK for Android. I've built a simple Universal Clock App and now I’d love to see it run on my phone. Since I’m using Windows, I’ve been trying to use Google Colab for the conversion. I know it’s possible—so if anyone here has experience building APKs via Google Colab, I’d really appreciate your support! Here are a few things I’d like: Please use Google Colab for the conversion.

Once done, kindly share the APK file, the customized buildozer.spec file, and the Google Colab commands or notebook you used. I’m really excited to see this work and I’m here, waiting for your response! Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Project file

main.py

If you pc has 8GB of ram, why not use a linux virtual machine using virtualbox.

Use AnvPy for that purpose

Using Github actions is probably the easiest way to convert your kivy app into APK/AAB ( debug or release version). Check this tutorial: https://youtu.be/wbJxJ2Zjy_o?si=8y9EWQRJYb88tCiD

Bro! I finally built the APK successfully 🎉 But the moment I installed it on my Android phone and ran it… boom! The app crashes 😭 Any idea what’s going wrong?

You can use logcat to know it's crashing. But I hope you involved all the modules you used in your buildozer requirements
