I patched together a short python script to scrape a website for its daily schedule and reformat it into a simple list.  It works great on my linux PC, but I cannot seem to get it working on my android device.. buildozer builds the apk without complaint, but after install the apk crashes after the kivy splash screen.

Here is my script:

#!/usr/bin/env python

__version__ = "1.0"
 
import bs4
import urllib
#import requests

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.label import Label
#kivy.require("<version>")


class TodaysIceTime(App):
    #icon = '/home/guest/bin/red-black-square-hockey-icon.png'
    #icon = 'red-black-square-hockey-icon.png'
    title = 'Today\'s Ice Schedule'
    
    #def on_start(self):
        #time.sleep(1)
    def build(self):
soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(url)

txt_out = ''
table = soup.find("table", { "class" : "cardtable" })
for row in table.findAll("tr"):
   cells = row.findAll("td")
   if len(cells) == 4:
icetime = cells[0].find(text=True).strip()
surface = cells[1].find(text=True)
home_use = cells[2].find(text=True)
home_use_rm = cells[2].find('div').text.strip().replace(':','')
away_use = cells[3].find(text=True)
away_use_rm = cells[3].find('div').text.strip().replace(':','')

print ' '
print icetime
txt_out += " \n" + ' '
txt_out += " \n" + icetime
if home_use_rm == '.': 
   txt_out += " \n" + home_use
   print home_use
else: 
   txt_out += " \n" + home_use + ': ' + home_use_rm
   print home_use + ': ' + home_use_rm
if away_use_rm == '.'or home_use_rm and away_use == home_use: 
   print 'away use rm = "." or home use rm, \n  and away use = home use \n  ' + away_use + '-' + away_use_rm +' exluded from output'
elif away_use_rm != '.' or home_use_rm: 
   txt_out += " \n" + away_use + ': ' + away_use_rm
   print away_use + ': ' + away_use_rm

print ' '
txt_out += " \n" + ' '
        return Label(text=txt_out)
        #return Label(text='this is a test')
      
      
if __name__ == "__main__":
    TodaysIceTime().run()


..any tips / help is appreciated.. I don't really know how to trouble shoot this.

at this point I would even be happy with just a working apk.

Thanks!

Hi,

Pls post the .spec file after you run buildozer.init, and you went to complete the requirements

My guess is that this module:

import bs4

is not included in the final app.

I have read somewhere that urllib module had some problems in the past but i guess that this issue has been dealt with on kivy 1.9.

# (list) List of Java files to add to the android project (can be java or a

#    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    List as sections
#
#    You can define all the "list" as [section:key].
#    Each line will be considered as a option to the list.
#    Let's take [app] / source.exclude_patterns.
#    Instead of doing:
#
#[app]
#source.exclude_patterns = license,data/audio/*.wav,data/images/original/*
#
#    This can be translated into:
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns]
#license
#data/audio/*.wav
#data/images/original/*
#


#    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    Profiles
#
#    You can extend section / key with a profile
#    For example, you want to deploy a demo version of your application without
#    HD content. You could first change the title to add "(demo)" in the name
#    and extend the excluded directories to remove the HD content.
#
#[app@demo]
#title = My Application (demo)
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns@demo]
#images/hd/*
#
#    Then, invoke the command line with the "demo" profile:
#
#buildozer --profile demo android debug
