buildozer repeated downloads

[Anuradha Laxminarayan]

I built my first kivy hello world app on ubuntu 14.10 (utopic) and downloaded to my phone.
Worked like a charm!

But on a second call to "buildozer -v android debug" , it seems to download "Android SDK Tools, revision 24.0.2" and other tools all over again.
Why should there be more downloads for a re-build?

More generally, my system is already setup with python2.7, kivy, pygame etc and kivy-example apps running fine.  Building
it for android installation with buildozer, seems to be downloading the whole gamut of tools each time repeatedly.

Is there another way or am I missing something?

Thanks
Anuradha

I don't know what it's doing, but could you make sure you're using the latest buildozer from github?

[Anuradha Laxminarayan]

Thanks, I can get the github (0.23). Mine is from pip (0.21)

 I really need to not have these downloads repeat else this is unusable.

Try getting the one from github, or I think tito has just pushed a new
one to pip which should be up to date (not sure how long this takes to
appear).

 installed. version up from 0.21 to 0.24
ran buildozer -v android debug again and once again it is downloading SDK-tools etc promising 1/2 hour.

Just can't understand why buildozer is downloading kivy python2.7 etc when they are clearly running.
Also wonder if I need to need to git clone python-for-android?

Buildozer is downloading these things so that it can compile them for
arm/android. This is necessary. However, it should not need to do so
repeatedly for the same project - have you previously let it finish, and
not changed any of the buildozer.spec since then?

After upgrading from buildozer from 0.21 to 0.24, I ran it again. Now the bin directory does not have any generated application file.
Instead it ended with this backtrace below.

[If I remember right, earlier with 0.21 there were some errors regarding tar-files
However I did not save those logs]

This bug was introduced very recently and unfortunately made it into a
pip release. You can fix by downloading buildozer from the master
branch, or by setting something like 'android.p4a_whitelist = dummy' to
whitelist a module that doesn't exist.

Hi!,
This is 2017 and the problem still exists and its driving me crazy.

Can you please spell out step by step instruction with regards to your post so that I can try out your solution.
