Hey all,

I know that this has been posted a couple of times, but even after reading the solutions here I haven't been able to find a fix.

I'm trying to get the launcher running on my Sony Xperia M. I've moved the examples (http://kivy.org/docs/guide/packaging-android.html#installation-of-examples) into the following directory:

Xperia M2\Internal Storage\sdcard\kivy\*



However when I run the launcher I get the following error:

No projects are available to launch. Please place a project into /storage/emulated/0/kivy and restart this application.

I did also try placing the projects into this location, and also had no success. Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks!

Make sure you haven't accidentally put them into a subfolder. You should see something like: /storage/emulated/0/kivy/touchtracer

Apologies everyone, I was clearly missing something.

I tried putting the files into:

Xperia M2\Internal Storage\kivy\*

And it is detecting the files now!

Are you sure there is an android.txt in the correct format and a 'main.py' file that launches you app? Into which folder on the device have you put them?

Not advised in the Launcher, but described in the docs (https://kivy.org/doc/stable/guide/packaging-android.html), you have to supply an `android.txt` file with minimal info to let Launcher to know about your app before launch it.

Example:
```
title=Example
author=Kivy
orientation=portrait
```
