a immature kivy user: The issue of request_permission

[Steve Tony]

I want to call record_ Audio permission, but in higher versions this permission is considered 'dangerous', so I have to use request_ Permissions (), however,  from android.permissions import request_permissions, check_permission, Permission request_permissions([Permission.RECORD_AUDIO])   reported an error in the Python code. Do I need to import additional packages? Thank you all!

Share the code formatted, and the full error message.

[Steve Tony]

Thank you. I havn't completed my python code because I' m dealing with permission problems. I download the example files(main.py and android_permissions.py) from https://github.com/Android-for-Python/c4k_photo_example/blob/main/main.py. I put them into my python project but then it reported errors like:

Do I lose some important packages? Thank you all!

[Robert]

This is not an error in Kivy.

The IDE you use is reporting a false error because it can't see the package 'android'.

The package 'android' does not and cannot exist on a desktop device, the IDE does not understand that.

I presume your  IDE has some setting for this, but I don't know anything specific about that.

[Steve Tony]

Thank you a lot! I may be able to solve the problem by myself. I find another question that my android platform api is 30, but my buildozer.spec is set like:

 

So it won' t work if I want to call  record_audio. How can I update android ndk and sdk? And what else needs to be updated if I upgrade target API level? I use the vpn software so the network is instable. I think I need download those packages so that I can package successfully. Thank you again!

[Robert]

That is several years old, I expect it won't work.

Of course I don't know why some of those values are what they are, so I can't tell you what you should change.

I can tell you about the current defaults.

Use the current Buildozer https://github.com/Android-for-Python/Android-for-Python-Users#install

Easiest is to create a new buildozer.spec in another directory, and copy the defaults from that.
