Kivy Buildozer Vm

I tried to compile kivy with buildozer for android, but it did not work and I could not find the solution for this problem. So I tried to install the virtual machine from the kivy

Solution 1:

EDIT: these instructions are outdated, please don't follow them

The main points:

1. Download the disc image from (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B112pXITp0hJU3dJb25hbWJ3RHM&authuser=0 <- WARNING this image is highly out of date and won't work any more) The download is >2GB (6GB after extracted). Extract the file and remember the location of the extracted vdi file.

2. Download the version of VirtualBox for your machine from the VirtualBox download area and install it. (https://www.virtualbox.org/)

3. Start VirtualBox, click on “New” in the left top. Then select “linux” and “Ubuntu 64-bit”.

4. Under “Hard drive”, choose “Use an existing virtual hard drive file”. Search for your vdi file (where you unzipped Buildozer) and select it.

5. Go to the “Settings” for your virtual machine. In the “Display -> Video” section, increase video ram to 32mb or above. Enable 3d acceleration to improve the user experience.

6. Start the Virtual machine and follow the instructions in the readme file on the desktop.
