Executable needs to be in PATH - Running Selenium on GNURoot on Android

Selenium installed using pip.
Trying to run below code :
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
\#driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/usr/bin/chromedriver')
time.sleep(5)
driver.quit()
What I get:
python 5formscrape-selenium.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "5formscrape-selenium.py", line 5, in driver =
webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/usr/bin/chromedriver')
File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py",
line 62, in init self.service.start()
File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py",
line 81, in start os.path.basename(self.path),
self.start_error_message)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver'
executable needs to be in PATH. Please see
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home
$PATH contains /usr/bin/chromedriver
chromedriver file is in /usr/bin with privileges
sudo chmod a*x chromedriver
So what I'm missing here?

chromdriver needs to be in PATH means the directory in which it is present should be in PATH and not the whole PATH itself. Change
$PATH=/usr/bin/chromedriver:....
to
$PATH=/usr/bin/:....
Remove chromedriver, so selenium can search for chromedriver in /usr/bin

android monkeyrunner python script with tkinter

I'm using python(v3.6.0) and tkinter is working fine.
Now I'm trying to add tkinter to my python script to work with android monkeyrunner tool. When I try to execute execute below command:
C:\Python36\myScript>monkeyrunner C:\Python36\myScript\installApp.py
command, then the following error message is appeared:
[main] [com.android.monkeyrunner.MonkeyRunnerOptions] Script terminated due to an exception
[main] [com.android.monkeyrunner.MonkeyRunnerOptions]Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python36\myScript\installApp.py", line 2, in <module>
import tkinter as tk
ImportError: No module named tkinter
I have already added my Python library file path C:\Python36\Lib, in my windows environment variable, but still ImportError: No module name tkinter error occured.

The problem is that monkeyrunner is based on jython. You can use AndroidViewClient/culebra which is almost a drop-in replacement, based on python and also uses Tkinter for the UI (see culebra).

how to import python PIL on android and kivy?

I want to create an application that takes photos from camera and show thumbnails of them on android. The related part of my code is:
from plyer import camera
from PIL import Image
.
.
.
def take_photo_from_camera(self, x):
filename = str(random.randint(0, 100000000000)) # create random filenames
self.camera.take_picture("/storage/sdcard0/MyApp/%s.jpg"%(filename), self.on_success_shot)
def on_success_shot(self, path):
#Create a thumbnail of taken photo here using PIL
I can use android camera without any problem.
I've added the PIL/pillow to the requirements of the kivy buildozer.spec file
requirements = kivy, openssl, futures, requests, plyer, pyjnius, pillow
When i want to create an apk with this configuration, the apk package succesfully builds but if i install apk and run on my android phone, i'm getting this error in logcat:
I/python (20188): Traceback (most recent call last):
I/python (20188): File "/home/mnrl/teknik/.buildozer/android/app/main.py", line 32, in <module>
I/python (20188): File "/home/mnrl/teknik/.buildozer/android/app/_applibs/PIL/Image.py", line 67, in <module>
I/python (20188): ImportError: dlopen failed: "/data/data/org.tokerteknik.tokerteknik/files/_applibs/PIL/_imaging.so" is 64-bit instead of 32-bit
I/python (20188): Python for android ended.
I think the problem related to architecture. I'm using ubuntu 16.04 64 bit and kivy buildozer installs 64 bit libraries with pip while installing requirements.
A similar problem here too: https://github.com/kivy/kivy/issues/4095 but there's not any solution.
Briefly how can i import PIL on android with kivy buildozer or how to install 32 bit libraries of PIL on 64 bit system?

Use pygame instead of PIL for basic image manipulation processes.
Add pygame to the buildozer requirements list, it works without any problem.
import pygame
picture = pygame.image.load(filepath)
picture = pygame.transform.scale(picture, (100, 100))
pygame.image.save(picture, "scaled_image.png")

sl4a python make a Toast for android phone

I wrote only this 3 lines in python using SL4A:
import android
droid = android.Android()
droid.makeToast(u"ascc4r")
When this code runs, I get the following error:
pydev debugger: starting

Environment setup:
- Python 2.6.6
- set ap_port=9999
- adb forward tcp:9999 tcp:xxxx (xxxx where I started the server on the phone)
My android.py is in the Python/Lib folder.
Update:
I tried this 3 instruction in CMD and it's work, making a Toast. So I think the fault is in the ADT bundle, or Eclipse Python plugin.
What is this Errno 11001?

What is this Errno 11001?
I don't know about that error, but I suggest to use the correct syntax which is
import android
droid = android.Android()
droid.makeToast('my text to print should be inside the quotes')

How to download google source code for android

As you know, there is a list of several hundred projects in https://android.googlesource.com/. I'd like to download them all in windows machine. According to Google's document,
To install, initialize, and configure Repo:
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
To clone the entire platform, install repo, and run:
mkdir mydroid
cd mydroid
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest
repo sync
In my machine, however, I cannot "repo init" in Git Bash because it says it does not have python. I have python installed but git bash does not recognize it. Note that I set the python directory to the system path too. If anybody can give a tip, I would appreciate it. Thanks
UPDATE: I believe it's problem with new version of Git Bash for Windows. System path is not applied to Git Bash at all - I could easily test if system path worked with command prompt. Anyway, I tried this instead and it actually ran with error of course.
/c/python27/python.exe ../bin/repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest
The error message is
$ /c/python27/python.exe ../bin/repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "../bin/repo", line 91, in <module>
import readline
ImportError: No module named readline
OK. I passed this error by installing pyreadline in windows:
easy_install pyreadline
If you got an error, you must install setuptools from
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#files
And finally ran the command again to get this:
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest
fatal: unable to start d:\mywork\dev\GoogleAndroid\working_dir\.repo\repo/main.py
fatal: [Errno 8] Exec format error

With one click, download the latest code as .tar.gz file, from here
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+archive/master.tar.gz, the android could be found under core folder
Edit
Alternative here:
http://grepcode.com/project/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/
Just select the version then a download options within.

If you consider, as an example, this other program "sympy" which also needs git bash and python, it is only a matter to add python to your PATH prior to launching the git bash session.
Install Python from:
http://python.org/download/
by downloading the "Python 2.7 Windows installer" (or Python 2.6 or 2.5) and running it.
Add python directory to your system environment path variable
(My Computer -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> Path -> Edit).
Note that the repo script itself must be in the path, as mentioned in the Version Control page of android:
Repo is a repository management tool that we built on top of Git. Repo unifies the many Git repositories when necessary, does the uploads to our revision control system, and automates parts of the Android development workflow.
Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it easier to work with Git in the context of Android.
The repo command is an executable Python script that you can put anywhere in your path.

This answer explains how to fix this error:
fatal: unable to start c:\path\.repo\repo/main.py
fatal: [Errno 8] Exec format error
Summary: I finally used the python packaged by Cygwin.
Details: Below is the full story.
The tip from the repo bug tracking is to add '/c/app/Python27/python ':
line 136 in v1.20
REPO_MAIN = '/c/app/Python27/python ' + S_repo + '/main.py'
line 735 in v1.20 (beginning of function main)
wrapper_path = '/c/app/Python27/python ' + os.path.abspath(__file__)
But we get the error TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found
Therefore I reverted these changes above and performed the other changes below (on version 1.20):
line 136, replaced single slash by double back-slash:
REPO_MAIN = S_repo + '\\main.py'
line 766, added python absolute path as first element of me:
me = ['C:\\app\\Python27\\python.exe', repo_main,
'--repo-dir=%s' % rel_repo_dir,
'--wrapper-version=%s' % ver_str,
'--wrapper-path=%s' % wrapper_path,
'--']
line 776, replaced os.execv(repo_main, me) by
os.execv('C:\\app\\Python27\\python.exe', me)
However we get still an error:
$ Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\path\.repo\repo\main.py", line 39, in <module>
from subcmds.version import Version
File "c:\path\.repo\repo\subcmds\__init__.py", line 36, in <module>
['%s' % name])
File "c:\path\.repo\repo\subcmds\forall.py", line 17, in <module>
import fcntl
ImportError: No module named fcntl
The Python v2.7 fcntl documentation says fcntl is available for platform Unix only.
I finally reverted again all changes in repo script and installed Cygwin including its python and git packages: it succeeded as a charm.
But, as the symlinks simulated by Cygwin are not recognized by the MSysGit, we have to use the Cygwin git. And GUIs on top of git are not fully compliant with Cygwin git...
(see also my other post)
Edit:
Cygwin can use native NTFS symlinks (just set CYGWIN=winsymlinks:native and be Admin). Therefore MSysGit can be used and any other GUI based on it :-)
