Installation on Android
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Kivy is a Python framework, and simply installing it on an Android
|
|
device the same way as on a desktop machine will do nothing. However,
|
|
you can compile a Kivy application to a standard Android APK that will
|
|
run just like a normal java app on (more or less) any device.
|
|
|
|
We provide several different tools to help you run code on an Android
|
|
device, covered fully in the :doc:`Android packaging documentation
|
|
</guide/packaging-android>`. These include creating a fully standalone APK
|
|
that may be released on an Android store, as well as the ability to
|
|
run your Kivy apps without a compilation step using our pre-prepared
|
|
Kivy Launcher app.
