Buildozer does not install build tools automatically with fresh install #146

chozabu · 2014-09-26T07:59:17Z

A fresh clone of buildozer, attempting to build a basic application fails due to buildozer not installing build tools.

This can be worked around by waiting for buildozer to fail, browsing to buildozers android SDK installation, launching the manager and installing build tools version 20, ensuring to unmark any packages checked by default!

kived mentions it may be trying to install build tools version 21 - which does not exist.

Sorry about the lack of logs or extra info on this issue!

The relevant area of code looks to be around here:

buildozer/buildozer/targets/android.py

Line 353 in a7c5ccc

v_build_tools = self._read_version_subdir(

kived · 2014-09-27T18:22:00Z

Workaround - install build-tools manually.

Run ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-21/tools/android to launch the Android SDK Manager.
Click the Deselect All link at the bottom of the window, and check the box next to "Android SDK Build-tools -- 20".
Click the Install 1 package... button.
Click Accept License and then click the Install button.
Close the SDK Manager and resume working with buildozer.

On my system (VBox with Ubuntu64 14.04) there is no version/revision 21. Maybe it has been revoked by Google? There is a revision 20 at this moment. This might resolve issue kivy#146?

JAISUS.. if this is the bug, i've been on this bugger for 2 full days now... :-/

casperlehmann · 2014-11-26T18:18:37Z

I don't know if it makes a difference as far as fixing the bug is concerned, but in case anyone else can't seem to find build-tools 20: SDK Tools need to be updated to rev. 23.0 before they are even visible.
I was stuck here for far too long:

tito · 2015-03-08T10:16:42Z

This is fixed, please reopen the day it will break again :)

ghost · 2015-06-16T14:26:49Z

I have the same problem with buildozer:
"subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['ant', 'debug']' returned non-zero exit status 1"

I'm running on Linux 64-bit, did the installation of buildozer as the following site:

http://wiki.labomedia.org/index.php/Kivy_Buildozer_pour_cr%C3%A9er_une_application_Android_avec_un_script_python

Through this site I found this post, I performed the described steps and the problem persists. Thank you in advance for your help.

kived · 2015-07-29T16:12:15Z

It has been broke again for a while.

elbow-jason · 2015-08-27T23:56:25Z

This is broken as of today (27 AUG 2015).

stuaxo · 2015-09-10T17:21:39Z

Bah, just hit this.

MichaelCurrie · 2015-09-13T05:28:24Z

@Laspimon how do I update SDK tools to version 23.0 as you suggest above? I'm stuck on the same screen you were.

Update: Ah, you click "Install" with what's selected by default, then restart the package manager (run ./android from that tools/ folder) and then Android SDK Build-tools 20 is available in the list.

casperlehmann · 2015-09-14T21:07:23Z

Glad you figured it out.

stuaxo · 2015-09-15T06:02:19Z

So the bug is that the out-of-box experience needs to download SDK tools version 23.0 from the get go ?

erikvanelten · 2015-09-30T14:15:12Z

I installed 20 and 23, now I get this... Now what?

evbo · 2016-01-27T02:12:07Z

I try following the readme you wrote on the VM desktop, but when trying to build the project, I am never successful. It asks me to update to rev 22 even though I have already (I've updated even beyond that to rev 23):

evbo · 2016-05-19T16:16:19Z

Yeah, the major issue that isn't captured in the readme is any Buildozer build MUST be run on the disk of the virtualmachine - not a shared folder with your host machine.

NumesSanguis · 2016-09-23T12:06:36Z

Still existing, I had to open ~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-21/tools/android and update around 4 times.

yaki29 · 2016-11-01T17:22:00Z

You can also change the android.sdk = "some other version/revision" in the buildozer.spec file, it will do everything from scratch. I know it is little wierd but it worked for me ... (use it as a last option, i.e. if nothing above works for you).

Lavz · 2017-01-22T14:24:48Z

aidl not found , please install it

Can you please tell me which sdk version u changed , because past two days i was trying hard to generate APK but not able to do that . finally am getting

aidl not found , please install it

Can you please tell me how to install AIDL

yaki29 · 2017-01-22T14:38:33Z

@Lavz Actually I don't remember, it was like 3 months ago. But this issue has been resolved why don't you reinstall the buildozer and also remove the .buildozer directory from where you installed it (probably in your home directory). Perform the same process and I suppose that would work for you.

mrroot5 · 2017-03-06T12:32:02Z

I have this issue with sdk versions < 22. If you change the sdk level to version >= 22 it works.

How to perform "Please export ANDROID_SWT to point to the folder containing swt.jar for your platform" ?

seisdr · 2020-01-09T18:20:12Z

Check what processor you have
uname -a
and then use the optimization one
export ANDROID_SWT=/home/pi/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk/tools/lib/x86/swt.jar
Or

export ANDROID_SWT=/usr/share/java/swt.jar

Again Buildozer throwing same error. Should we mention where to export? like source and destination path

ANDROID_SWT*
using export is to make sure it set properly otherwise you cand do android_swt=...
Without export

seisdr · 2020-01-09T18:54:18Z

Wait

seisdr · 2020-01-09T18:55:04Z

to the folder not the file
Try
ANDROID_SWT=/usr/share/java/

VaighundaSubash · 2020-01-09T18:58:19Z

I'm getting below,

This one should work

VaighundaSubash · 2020-01-09T19:04:22Z

Good Improvement!!! Now I got below error,

Maybe apt search aidl

aidl is looks like installation part only. I can continue now

Yes this is definitely glitching sometimes, but most of the time it's working.
