# Kivy GUI |
||||
|
||||
The Kivy GUI is used with Electrum on Android devices. To generate an APK file, follow these instructions. |
||||
|
||||
## 1. Install python-for-android (p4a) |
||||
p4a is used to package Electrum, Python, SDL and a bootstrap Java app into an APK file. |
||||
We patched p4a to add some functionality we need for Electrum. Until those changes are |
||||
merged into p4a, you need to merge them locally (into the stable branch): |
||||
|
||||
1. [kivy/python-for-android#1213](https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/pull/1213) |
||||
2. [kivy/python-for-android#1217](https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/pull/1217) |
||||
|
||||
Something like this should work: |
||||
|
||||
```sh |
||||
cd /opt |
||||
git clone https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android |
||||
cd python-for-android |
||||
git remote add agilewalker https://github.com/agilewalker/python-for-android |
||||
git remote add bauerj https://github.com/bauerj/python-for-android |
||||
git checkout stable |
||||
git fetch agilewalker |
||||
git merge agilewalker/master |
||||
git fetch bauerj |
||||
git merge bauerj/add-activity |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
## 2. Install buildozer |
||||
Buildozer is a frontend to p4a. Of course it needs to be patched too: |
||||
|
||||
1. [kivy/buildozer#612](https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/pull/1213) |
||||
|
||||
```sh |
||||
cd /opt |
||||
git clone https://github.com/kivy/buildozer |
||||
cd buildozer |
||||
git remote add bauerj https://github.com/bauerj/buildozer |
||||
git fetch bauerj |
||||
git merge bauerj/add-activity |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
You also want to install it: |
||||
|
||||
```sh |
||||
sudo python3 setup.py install |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
## 3. Update the Android SDK build tools |
||||
3.1 Start the Android SDK manager: |
||||
|
||||
~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-20/tools/android |
||||
|
||||
3.2 Check the latest SDK available and install it. |
||||
|
||||
3.3 Close the SDK manager. |
||||
|
||||
3.3 Reopen the SDK manager, scroll to the bottom and install the latest build tools (probably v27) |
||||
|
||||
## 4. Install the Support Library Repository |
||||
Install "Android Support Library Repository" from the SDK manager. |
||||
|
||||
## 5. Create the UI Atlas |
||||
In the `gui/kivy` directory of Electrum, run `make theming`. |
||||
|
||||
## 6. Download Electrum dependencies |
||||
Run `contrib/make_packages`. |
||||
|
||||
## 7. Build the APK |
||||
Run `contrib/make_apk`. |
||||
|
||||
# FAQ |
||||
## Why do I get errors like `package me.dm7.barcodescanner.zxing does not exist` while compiling? |
||||
Update your Android build tools to version 27 like described above. |
||||
|
||||
## Why do I get errors like `(use -source 7 or higher to enable multi-catch statement)` while compiling? |
||||
Use the `stable` branch of python-for-android. |
||||
[This commit](https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/commit/3534a761b17040755accf941f898cc66b905e8db) in master is the culprit. |
||||
|
||||
## I changed something but I don't see any differences on the phone. What did I do wrong? |
||||
You probably need to clear the cache: `rm -rf .buildozer/android/platform/build/{build,dists}` |

Before compiling, create packages: `contrib/make_packages` |
||||
|
||||
Commands:: |
||||
|
||||
`make theming` to make a atlas out of a list of pngs |
||||
|
||||
`make apk` to make a apk |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If something in included modules like kivy or any other module changes |
||||
then you need to rebuild the distribution. To do so: |
||||
|
||||
rm -rf .buildozer/android/platform/python-for-android/dist |
||||

how to build with ssl: |
