buildozer for Android choked on "No Java runtime present, questing install."

[bearnun]

Hey again,

So, I'm trying to get my app build for Android, and everything was going well until my internet cut out partway through the build.  Now, when I build I get the error below.  Just wondering if a cut-out partway through the first build (buildozer -v android debug) would cause the below output.  If not, then I will keep banging my head. :) Thanks.

I'm pretty convinced that this was caused by the build cutting out halfway through when I ran "buildozer -v android run" for the first time, which subsequently somehow clobbered the symlinks for Java.  The solution (workaround?) is to run these two commands in the terminal (Mac OS X):

sudo rm /usr/bin/java

sudo ln -s /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java /usr/bin

If you can't run those commands then follow these steps.
