Python-for-android error: local variable 'targets' referenced before assignment

I keep getting an error when trying to create an apk with python-for-android. When I run this:
p4a apk --debug --sdk_dir=sdk --ndk_dir=ndk --ndk_version=r16b --private mnt/c/main.py --package=helloworld --name "Hello World" --version 0.1 --bootstrap=sdl2 --requirements=python2,kivy --arch=armeabi-v7a
I get the following error:
[INFO]: Will compile for the following archs: armeabi-v7a
[INFO]: Found Android API target in $ANDROIDAPI
[ERROR]: Could not find `android` or `sdkmanager` binaries in Android SDK. Exiting.

export ANDROIDSDK="~/sdk"

Note I downloaded the ndk from (https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/index.html) and the sdk from (https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html). I also installed platform tools and build-tools with sdkmanager. I am a complete beginner to python-for-android, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Error is pretty straightforward, you have a problem with SDK:
[ERROR]: Could not find android or sdkmanager binaries in
Android SDK. Exiting.
I'm not sure about how to make things right with Studio, but link to SDK that works:

How to install Android Studio from cli

I am curling the latest Android Studio dmg file, mounting the image and copying the .app directory into the Applications directory. When I attempt to open the directory I receive this warning, and when I query the application state, I also receive the code below. Any idea how I can generically install Android Studio from the cli?

The NDK and SDK folders are located as they are in the path in the .bashrc file, But it gives me the following output when I opened the terminal;
bash: =/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:./home/ssrp/workspace/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools: No such file or directory
bash: PATH=/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:./home/ssrp/workspace/android-sdk-linux/tools: No such file or directory
bash: JAVA_HOME=./usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk: No such file or directory
bash: NDK=./home/ssrp/workspace/android-ndk-r9: No such file or directory
ssrp#ssrp-PC:~$
What could I be doing wrong here, could anyone specify?

For JAVA_HOME remove the first dot in the path. For NDK and PATH remove ./home/ssrp and put ~ instead. it should look like this:
$export PATH=$PATH:~/workspace/android-sdk-linux/tools:~/workspace/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools
$export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
$export NDK=~/workspace/android-ndk-r9

I think the paths provided are wrong, if you are using windows then paths must be relative from cygwin, because they are with the forward slash (/) rather the backward () that is common in windows. So instead of adding path from C directory, go to cygwin and browse drives and go to the folder from there using cd command and at the directory of which you want path of type command pwd it will give you the exact path of that folder. Copy paste it here and done.

I am using ndk-r8e and valgrind 3.8.1. The configure ends with:
Maximum build arch: arm
Primary build arch: arm
Secondary build arch:

Primary build target: ARM_LINUX
Secondary build target:
Platform variant: vanilla
Primary -DVGPV string: -DVGPV_arm_linux_vanilla=1
Default supp files: exp-sgcheck.supp xfree-3.supp xfree-4.supp glibc-2.X-drd.supp glibc-2.34567-NPTL-helgrind.supp glibc-2.X.supp
What can I do to fix this? Alternatively, are there any pre-built android-arm valgrind binaries that I can use?

For building and installing Valgrind for Android use the bash script below, which I prefer to call build_valgrind.sh
To run with RUN_HELLO_JNI_THROUGH_VALGRIND=true you need two additional scripts (bootstrap_valgrind.sh, start_valgrind.sh) in the directory you run the script below from.
Running the script with the RUN_HELLO_JNI_THROUGH_VALGRIND=true flag will build the hello-jni application from the samples directory inside the Android NDK HOME, deploy it to the phone and run it through Valgrind, using either callgrind or memcheck tool, which you can specify in the start_valgrind.sh script.
The other two scripts are described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19235439/313113
Here's my directory structure:
|-- build_valgrind.sh (the script below)
|-- bootstrap_valgrind.sh (second script from https://stackoverflow.com/a/19235439/313113)
|-- start_valgrind.sh (first script from https://stackoverflow.com/a/19235439/313113)
|-- valgrind-3.10.0 (will be extracted by build_valgrind.sh)
`-- valgrind-3.10.0.tar.bz2 (will be downloaded by build_valgrind.sh)
I've tested that its working (memcheck and callgrind tools) on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus device with CyanogenMod 10.2.1 and Android 4.3.1 and CyanogenMod 11 20140804 snapshot, Android 4.4.4
You can see the file size of the generated output with: adb shell ls -lR "/sdcard/*grind*"
The build_valgrind.sh script:

This gets valgrind to compile for me on linux. (using android-ndk-r8e and valgrind-3.8.1)
There was no need to run autogen.sh since I downloaded the tar ball from the website.
Also make sure the TOOLCHAIN= line points to a valid toolchain.
export NDK_HOME=$HOME/Downloads/android-ndk-r8e
export HWKIND=generic
export TOOLCHAIN=$NDK_HOME/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.7/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi
export AR=$TOOLCHAIN-ar
export LD=$TOOLCHAIN-ld
export CC=$TOOLCHAIN-gcc
CPPFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDK_HOME/platforms/android-14/arch-arm -DANDROID_HARDWARE_$HWKIND" \
CFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDK_HOME/platforms/android-14/arch-arm" \
./configure --prefix=/data/local/Inst \
--host=armv7-unknown-linux --target=armv7-unknown-linux \
--with-tmpdir=/sdcard
make
It eventually came up with a compile error saying
$NDK_HOME/platforms/android-14/arch-arm/usr/include/elf.h:58:3: error: unknown type name 'uint32_t'
It seem like someone forgot to add #include <stdint.h> somewhere. To fix this I edited $NDK_HOME/platforms/android-14/arch-arm/usr/include/elf.h and added #include <stdint.h> to the include section of this header. NOTE: This is probably not the best fix but it is the one that I came up with that fixed the compilation errors.
On mac I was able to get it to compile up until the unknown type uint32_t part by changing how the configure script checks the kernel version.
Inside the configure script search of a line kernel=`uname -r` and change it to kernel=3.9.2. (There are two kernel=`uname -r` lines replace the first one or both if you feel like it)
This stops the configure script from looking at the host kernel when deciding how it should build valgrind. (uname -r grabs the host kernel)
I believe adding the #include <stdint.h> to elf.h should work on mac to but I have not tested it.

in android tutorial one option is missed
RANLIB, after I set it - I finally compiled valgrind-3.11.0 on osx for android

The problem I had was that the configure script was ignoring the environment variables. To configure the make file I instead did this:
sudo ./configure --prefix=/data/local/Inst --host=armv7-unknown-linux --target=armv7-unknown-linux --with-tmpdir=/sdcard0 CPPFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDKROOT/platforms/android-3/arch-arm -DANDROID_HARDWARE_$HWKIND" CFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDKROOT/platforms/android-3/arch-arm" CC=$CC LD=$LD AR=$AR
This ensures the variables are set properly and works with Linux Mint 13. It does not work on OSX Mountain Lion however. I'd advise anyone using OSX without access to a linux installation to try using linux on a virtual machine.
