kivy launcher: writing to /storage/emulated/0/kivy

[Bill Eaton]

I'm trying to put my app, freebird, on my phone. Kivy launcher seems like a good way to go. 

Online docs seem to indicate you drop your folder in

   /sdcard/

I tried that, but when I started the launcher, it wants files to be in 

   /storage/emulated/0/kivy/<your app>

The problem is, I cannot figure out how to break into that folder and create a directory. adb says /storage/emulated is read only. How do I get my files on the phone?

On Android, /sdcard, /storage/sdcard0, /emulated/legacy, and /mnt/sdcard are symlinks to the same place, /storage/emulated/0 . So these paths are all equivalent. Most of them exist for legacy reasons. If you use ES file manager, folders which are symlinks have a small curved arrow on them.

For Kivy Launcher to find your scripts they must be in /sdcard/kivy/<app name> , which we now know is the same location as /storage/emulated/0/kivy/<app name> . For packaging your Kivy Launcher scripts, refer to http://kivy.org/docs/guide/packaging-android.html#packaging-your-application-for-kivy-launcher

/sdcard/ is a link to /storage/emulated/0/, you can't touch emulated/
itself, because as the name says, it's a virtual filesystem managed by
the kernel, you should be able to access 0/ inside it, howether.

Thanks for your replies. And thank you for being patient with me.

I put my app in 

  /sdcard/kivy/<my app>.

The thing I left out was the android.txt file. So now the launcher finds it. Yippee!!

Thanks for all of your help.

I also faced this problem. But what are the data in android.txt?

[bob mcgrath]

I believe the android.txt should look like

title=<Application Title>
author=<Your Name>
orientation=<portrait|landscape>
