If you can get it working, I think it's a great idea. I was never able to get Python working on Android, myself ),:

I have done some with Kivy. You can write everything in python 100%...but it makes it easier if you use their "kivy language" which closely resembles the layout of CSS.

As much as i hate to say this. If you are familiar with java, it might be easier to just use java. The python + Kivy method works, its just odd.

Link to a tutorial to get things working?

I know a little Android, but I still wasn't able to get Python working on it just a few months ago. I tried Scala as well, I'm just not down to use Java in my free time, but still couldn't get it working.

@[metulburr] I just started looking at that repo. Is sudo really necessarily for producing an APK?
