Alarm clock

[Mojmír Vinkler]

I plan to write an alarm clock application and would really like doing it in Kivy (I want to avoid Java at all costs...). However, I would need to use native classes like AlarmManager, default sounds, vibrations and so on. Is it be possible to do all of these in pyjnius? Is it even worth it? I am also worried about the loading times.

One more thing - how do you debug directly on android? As for now, I always package it and deploy it on emulator which can take from 30 to 60 seconds. Assuming how many mistakes I make, this takes a very long time.

The ideal way to work on it would be to add the features you need to
plyer (https://github.com/kivy/plyer), and then you can test much of
your logic on the desktop by using the abstracted hardware API.

You can test some of the Android/pyjnius stuff by compiling a Kivy
Remote Shell (https://github.com/kivy/kivy-remote-shell) that contains
the Android permissions and recipes you need.

You could also code directly on the device by installing your APK,
then ripping out the compiled files in /sdcard/com.yourapp/ and
replacing then with the source code. You will then have to transfer
the working source back to your main computer for re-compiling when
you are satisfied.
