Example Applications?

[TheChymera]

Hi, I would like to write a python app for android which asks te user for input a few times a day and writes it to a .csv file. The obvious problem with that is that additionally to my script I'll also need to ship python with my "application". I understand python-for-android does just that.

But I don't really understand the workflow of using it and what the finite app will look like (maning directory structure et al. rather than visually) - are there any apps already packaged with this? It would be great if you could also add links to them in the README.

Most people use python-for-android with Kivy (http://kivy.org/#home). Kivy
is a cross-platform Python GUI framework. Using Kivy and buildozer (
https://github.com/kivy/buildozer), you can compile your Android APK quite
painlessly.

if Kivy takes care of the GUI and buildozer of the packageing - what exactly does python-for-android do? I assumed that was what it did. Also, can I use any libraries/functions at all with my app? Can I for instance use this combination of tools to ship my app with numpy (or parts thereof)? Does my app need to be compiled, or can it exist like a script which can be edited live on the phone?

Kivy = crossplatform GUI / NUI
Python for Android = toolchain for cross-compiling Python and others libraries + package thoses / your app / bootstrap into one APK
Buildozer = Tool for describing your app in a specification file, and install/invoke Python-for-android or Kivy-ios. It is using python-for-android behind the scene.

Let's move this conversation off of the python-for-android issue tracker,
as it is obviously not a bug in python-for-android. The Kivy Google Group (
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/kivy-users) is a better place to
talk about this.
