Can't get off the ground

I’m trying to fix the APK build of pyjinus, but I’m failing to get p-for-a to work at all, following the instructions on http://python-for-android.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart/#installation. Note in particular that setting the NDK version as documented is not effective.

@dessant? Help?

I’ve encounter the same problem,

I’m using new android sdk package, sdkmanager is suggested to be used, I run

./sdkmanager "platforms;android-27"

solve this problem, here 27 specified my required version of Android SDK

OK I managed to change buildozer.spec file.

Problem seemed to go away, but now I get this:

# Apache ANT found at /home/dimko/.buildozer/android/platform/apache-ant-1.9.4
# Android SDK found at /home/dimko/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-24.3.3
# Android NDK found at /home/dimko/.buildozer/android/platform/android-ndk-r18b
# Check application requirements
# Check garden requirements
# Compile platform

i have run ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-20/tools/android

I made sure everything I could install from API15 is installed.(one package cant be installed. google intel api)

i changed those lines in spec file:

# (int) Android API to use                                                                                                                                                                                         
android.api = 19

android.minapi = 19

android.sdk = 24.3.3

# (str) Android NDK version to use                                                                                                                                                                                 
android.ndk = 18b

i am still getting error above. Another bug?(shouldnt it complain about api19, which i also installed?)
