Problem with elevation not working on android and returns strange error. Kivy/KivyMD

When creating a simple application that has only one MDFloatingActionButton on the screen it works perfectly on linux/windows but when compiling for android the application closes instantly and returns a strange error.
I did a test with MDCard and it returned the same error but I decided to assign 0 to the widget's elevation attribute and it worked perfectly but without the elevation

def build(self):
return MDFloatingActionButton(
pos_hint={"center_y":.5, "center_x":.5},
icon="arrow-right"
)
MyApp().run()
Return on android

# Instead of doing:
#
#[app]
#source.exclude_patterns = license,data/audio/*.wav,data/images/original/*
#
# This can be translated into:
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns]
#license
#data/audio/*.wav
#data/images/original/*
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Profiles
#
# You can extend section / key with a profile
# For example, you want to deploy a demo version of your application without
# HD content. You could first change the title to add "(demo)" in the name
# and extend the excluded directories to remove the HD content.
#
#[app#demo]
#title = My Application (demo)
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns#demo]
#images/hd/*
#
# Then, invoke the command line with the "demo" profile:
#
#buildozer --profile demo android debug
This problem is linked to the elevation of the widget, which is the ideal attribute to make the app more attractive.
Can someone give me a light to solve this problem?
I am using windows wsl to build the application.

Thanks #Neizvestnyj and #Robert (from the google groups).
The problem was solved by installing master level kivy and kivymd libraries.

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/storage/emulated/0/b_test.ogg' - Kivy on android write and save file

I made a Kivy app trying to load a wav file and transform it via Audiosegment to an ogg file. This ogg file should then be saved on the android storage.
But unfortunately anything I do, I get an Permission error but asking for it,
I also changed it manually on my phone where I run the app itself.
I would be very thankful for any help.

#

# Then, invoke the command line with the "demo" profile:

You probably need to handle permissions. Since Buildozer uses python-for-android you can request permissions at runtime as decribed here.
Your on_start() method is never called. Perhaps it should be in your TestApp instead of in a Screen.

Auto selection of Text in TextInput and BackSpace problem in KIVY

My code is works fine on PC but when converted into APK file i get problem with the use of Auto selection of text in TextInput and backspace on Android
As simple my problem in Android APK is that
" When i starting to type "Hello" and after completing a word i uses space bar then the following text is ADDED to the the TextInput field and changes to "HelloHello", as well correct to edit back the that word uses BackSpace which is not worked very well.
I never have this on the PC, but always on Android.
As i am using KIVY version 2.0.0 and MDKIVY version 0.104.2

Partially i have go trough the github following link https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/issues/2461 , in this person facing same problem as I and there is small video which is exactly matches with my problem, but i don't understand the solution of that.
Thank You so much.

KivyMD : MDFileManager not loading

# Profiles
#
# You can extend section / key with a profile

# and extend the excluded directories to remove the HD content.
#
#[app#demo]
#title = My Application (demo)
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns#demo]
#images/hd/*
#
# Then, invoke the command line with the "demo" profile:
#
#buildozer --profile demo android debug

Try doing this for de path.
import os
app_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
May is some kind of error in the path, try it like above and debug from there.

Try this code below,
request_permissions([Permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE])
dir_primary = primary_external_storage_path()
self.path = os.path.join(dir_primary, 'Download')

You basically need storage permission to access the internal storage in Android. To do so you can use this code snippet
if platform == 'android':
import android
from android.permissions import request_permissions, Permission
request_permissions([Permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE])
Also, you have to add Android in your requirements of buildozer.spec file. Now to access the path of 'Downloads folder' you can use os.path.join(os.getenv('EXTERNAL_STORAGE'), 'Downloads')
def openfile(self,obj):
path = os.path.join(os.getenv('EXTERNAL_STORAGE'), 'Downloads')
self.fileM = MDFileManager(
select_path = self.get_path
)
self.fileM.show(path)
There's also a primary_external_storage_path() option in Android but it sometimes gives error in few versions of android
from android.storage import primary_external_storage_path
ext_path = primary_external_storage_path()
def openfile(self,obj):
path = os.path.join(ext_path,'Downloads')
self.fileM = MDFileManager(
select_path = self.get_path
)
self.fileM.show(path)
You can use any of these two methods. Also if the code snippet (for permissions) gives an error (app crashes after requesting permissions or crash at the start) then you might have to update your kivy version. In requirements of your buildozer.spec file instead of writing Python,kivy you can write Python,kivy=2.0.0rc4 so that it uses the latest version

Your your app runs fine on Acer Iconia Tablet. The only problem is that after taking the picture, it did not show the picture in the Kivy App.
I am using the following versions to create the apk file:
Buildozer v0.39
Cython 0.28.6
Python 3.6.7
Xubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver
