hi

i was thinking about creating some application for android . i worked with java before and i,m familiar with it but sense i learned python
i dont want to come back on java anymore.

i was thinking about writing app for android with python.

how do you think about that?


is this a good idea?

if i learn kivy or qpython can i create a good app ?

or you think python is not good enouth to do that?
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.
Here is the github repo i made to refresh myself if i ever wanted to use it again.

Ill keep looking for the tutorial that i actually used.
+1 for Kivy
@[metulburr] I just started looking at that repo. Is sudo really necessarily for producing an APK?
i dont remember exactly, but i think it was for installing SDK if it was the first time.
