I want write simple application in Python for Android using kivy. Sadly when I start example code I see only splash screen and few second later application finish work. There is a huge problem with debugging because adb on Linux Mint does not detect my device.
Can someone look at my code and tell my why?
To build application I use buildozer. You can also see create_env script to check all dependencies are there.
Best regards.

EDIT:
I started debugging my application. Conclusion:
buildozer + python3 + kivy is a bad idea
if I use kivy.uix.button.Button when text attribute is str than I got exception "AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'"
if I use kivy.uix.button.Button when text attribute is bytes than I got exception "ValueError: Button.text accept only str"
It looks like loop with no solution. Some idea when I should report it?
Exception is in .buildozer/android/platform/build/build/python-installs/pad/android/init.py" file so it does not look like kivy and/or buildozer exception.
I've used python-for android tool and faced with the same errors. But in my case, app didn't run at all - crashed from splash screen. Finally, I've found a solution. You can try the same way.
So my pipeline was python3 + python-for-android (p4a tool, python-for-android, from master branch) + kivy (1.10.1)
There is a file "_android.pyx" for android building recipe (full list of avaliable p4a recipes you can see by command p4a recipes). This file is, possibly, used by Buildozer, and exactly used by P4A during APK building procedure. You need to fix it.
You may find it's location in Ubuntu (for example) via:
sudo updatedb
locate _android.pyx
It's path should be something like:
~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pythonforandroid/recipes/android/src/android/_android.pyx
There should be a string:
python_act = autoclass(JAVA_NAMESPACE.decode('utf-8') + u'.PythonActivity')
so you should change it - something like this:
python_act = autoclass(str(JAVA_NAMESPACE) + u'.PythonActivity'),
or just use some hardcode:
python_act = autoclass("org/kivy/android/PythonActivity")
Or there might be the other decode() usage in sources.
The reason: differences between Python2 and Python3 - the decode() method is usable on the equivalent binary data type in either Python 2 or 3, but it can’t be used by the textual data type consistently between Python 2 and 3 because str in Python 3 doesn’t have the method decode function has different realisation in Python3.

Hope, it will help you somehow.

I am trying to find a way to access the environment variables provided by --dart-define inside native iOS and Android code.
Is there any way to do this?
I have tried the guide explained in https://binary-studio.com/2020/06/23/flutter-3/ but that doesn't work as what gets written to the generated .xcconfig is not separated by = but instead by %3D. And I get the error
error: .../ios/Flutter/DEFINEEnvironment.xcconfig:2: expected a ‘=’, but found % (in target 'Runner' from project 'Runner')
The file DEFINEEnvironment.xcconfig gets generated with the following content MY_VAR%3DMY_VALUE instead of MY_VAR=MY_VALUE
UPDATE
This seems to be happening because when reading from the args passed to --dart-define it must be encoding = into %3D. And I don't know how prevent that from happening
It seems that the script has been changed and now includes the necessary code to decode the strings.
The post-action script that needs to be added to Scheme is:
function urldecode() { : "${*//+/ }"; echo "${_//%/\\x}"; }
IFS=',' read -r -a define_items <<< "$DART_DEFINES"
for index in "${!define_items[#]}"
do
define_items[$index]=$(urldecode "${define_items[$index]}");
done
printf "%s\n" "${define_items[#]}" > ${SRCROOT}/Flutter/DEFINEEnvironment.xcconfig
I'm trying to set up a local test rig for Appium before trying some cloud services. I've got the Appium.app running locally and have put together a very small test script in Ruby (using xpath). I'm trying to utilize arc (the Appium Ruby Console) to do some further scripting but am having trouble getting it launched. I've got everything installed (appium_lib, appium_console) and best I can tell it should be working. However, when I run the arc command at the terminal, I get the following error:
Failed to match sequence (ALL_SPACE (TABLE / TABLE_ARRAY / KEY_VALUE / COMMENT_LINE){0, } ALL_SPACE) at line 1 char 1.
`- Don't know what to do with "[caps]\n " at line 1 char 1.
Here are the contents of my appium.txt as of now.
[caps]
appium-version: '1.0',
platformName: 'Android',
platformVersion: '4.4',
deviceName: 'Nexus_5_API_22_Lollipop',
app: '/Users/justinr/Desktop/Development/TMSampleAndroid-master/app-debug.apk',
appPackage => 'com.marketlytics.calabashtest',
appActivity => 'com.marketlytics.calabashtest.MainActivity'
Thanks a ton in advance for any insight - please let me know if there are other useful files to see.
Running the arc setup android got this working for me (it stumps an appium.txt in the current directory). Still not sure what the problem with my original file was, though - I can't see any key differences.
Python for Android (Py4A 2.6) is wonderful!!! But QPython (2.7) is a lot more powerful and continuously developed. Now I try to integrate Qpython's Python into Android (5.1 CM12) Terminal / ADB described in this Tutorial:http://wiki.qpython.org/en/diveinto/
My Script to import the environment variables qpython needs looks like:
TERM=screen
PATH=/data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/files/bin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:/data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/files/lib/:/data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/files/:/data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/lib/
PYTHONHOME=/data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/files

Shell session:
u0_a101#C1905:/ $ source /sdcard/qpyenvnew.sh
u0_a101#C1905:/ $ $python
u0_a101#C1905:/ $ hmm do nothing?!
I get no output.
I have found here on Stackoverflow the same Question but the posted solution ist a link how is down.
Other Tutorial on throws only errors
http://dinostest.com/node/28
Try this command in your terminal:
$sh data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/files/bin/qpython.sh
Terminal will prompt a Python console.
If your script for the environment variables was obtained by running the code from the tutorial link, it should be correct.
If what you have pasted is exactly what you entered, the problem would be that you tried to run pyhton by typing $python when it should have just been python
Pre-fixing with $ is used to reference the value of a variable, so entering $python referenced the value of the variable python but does nothing with it, hence no feedback.
EDIT2: Although it's not a direct answer to this question I suggest having a look at the App 'Termux'. You can install Python2/3 via apt, virtualenv/-wrapper etc... Much more powerfull!
EDIT: Since /data/data... is only accessible as root, the following must be done as root!
Take care that the python executables path is in your $PATH. That wasn't the case even after having run the script from the tutorial (your script). If it's not present simply type:export PATH=/data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/files/bin:$PATH
or follow theses steps. In short: create a file in /sdcard (here ".bashrc") with the above line. After that type: source .bashrcsource init.sh (init.sh is located in /data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/files/bin as well) Then fire up Python with python-android5 which is the PIE compatible executable for Phone with Lollipop and above. But be aware: For whatever reason I couldn't exit() or quit() the Python prompt but I was able to run Script from the Terminal! Have fun!
EDIT: I spotted this: PythonForAndroid. It is a fork of PythonForAndroid that is still alive, and this versions are able to run on Android L (Python3 on 5.1.1 in my case). Also check the SL4A linked there, it works great on Lollipop.
Thanks to the answers above I made a super easy solution. If you have root: Create a file "python" and type the following line in it:
sh data/data/com.hipipal.qpyplus/files/bin/qpython-android5.sh
Place this file in your /system/bin directory and you can access python from everywhere using the command 'python'.
I want to get list of installed software on remote computer.For that I want to use python script in my android application.Now,I have a python script which is getting the list of installed software on remote computer.But,I don't know how to make it supported in android.
For this, I found SL4A android Scripting here . So, I tried to run my python script in android device using SL4A.But,It's not working and giving me error because some packages like win32.client is missing.I don't know more about SL4A so I don't know how to convert my python script in Android supported form.So,anyone have any idea or code please suggest me.....
Also If anyone have another way to get installed software list from remote Pc then please suggest...
Below is my python script
import wmi
from winreg import (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, OpenKey, EnumValue, QueryValueEx)
c = wmi.WMI(computer="PC02",user="admin",password="a#1",namespace="root/default").StdRegProv
result, names = c.EnumKey (hDefKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, sSubKeyName=r"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall")
print('These subkeys are found under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall"\n\n')
separator = "*" * 80
keyPath = r"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"
count = 0
while count < len(names):
try:
print(separator+'\n')
path = keyPath + "\\" + names[count]
key = OpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, path, 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS)
temp = QueryValueEx(key, 'DisplayName')
display = str(temp[0])
print (" Name: "+display+'\n',"key:",names[count])
count += 1
except:
print ("Key:",names[count])
count += 1
continue
Run the script on your remote computer, and expose the list of installed software on HTTP, a good way to write this simple web app is to use flask and its development server to serve the list of installed software, then write a python script which uses the native android web interface to fetch the list and display it.
You are having problems with missing libraries because you are importing windows specific ones. At any rate, this isn't the correct script to be running. This script seems to be for a computer, not an android phone.
You're trying to use a Python script that uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), on a device that doesn't have that library.
Sadly, WMI on Python requires the win32 library, which is only available on Windows. I don't think you're going to have much success on checking the installed programs on remote Windows computer from an Android device in this way.
Since WMI is based on WBEM, you may be able to use wbem to access it; you might want to try using pywbem, a pure python wbem library.
Running python scripts is now achievable in gradle system using Tasks
task pythonFile(type:Exec) {
workingDir 'src_path'
commandLine 'python', 'my_script.py'
}
I just can't find the help.py file in order to create the API reference for the monkeyrunner. The command described at the Android references
monkeyrunner <format> help.py <outfile> does not work when i call monkeyrunner html help.py /path/to/place/the/doc.html.
It's quite obvious that the help.py file is not found and the monkeyrunner also tells me "Can't open specified script file". But a locate on my system doesn't bring me a help.py file that has anything to do with monkeyrunner or Android.
So my question is: Where did they hide the help.py file for creating the API reference?
I cannot find it either. But one can assume that it is simply calling MonkeyRunner.help() with the passed in arguments. If you just want to get something quick use this script I created also named help.py:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# Imports the monkeyrunner modules used by this program
from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyRunner, MonkeyDevice
text = MonkeyRunner.help("html");
f = open('help.html', 'w')
f.write(text);
f.close();
Run it just like any other monkeyrunner script:
$ monkeyrunner help.py
After I have all codes in my machine (i.e, repo sync), it is at mydroid/sdk/monkeyrunner/scripts along with other three:
help.py monkey_playback.py monkey_recorder.py mr_pydoc.py
This is brilliant answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/4470513/551383 but if you really want this file is in android source i.e. http://androidxref.com/4.2_r1/xref/sdk/monkeyrunner/scripts/help.py
http://androidxref.com/source/xref/sdk/monkeyrunner/scripts/help.py
I believe the documentation on the website starts from that script, but I'm pretty sure somebody edits it a bit afterwards as well.
There's an error in monkeyrunner's help documentation (monkeyrunner Built-in Help), you should use parameters in another order:
monkeyrunner help.py <format> <outfile>
And don't forget about specifying a full path to the script, if you're running it outside of the monkeyrunner.bat directory (android monkeyrunner scripts).
If you don't have Repo Sync, described by users above, you can find the sources (including help.py), for example, here: monkeyrunner scripts.
I opened an issue at Google Code (Issue 26259: monkeyrunner Built-in Help Description Error) and I hope that they'll fix it soon.
