Well, I started to learn kivy and have tried to build an Android app using buildozer. I run buildozer android debug with an error and can't find what it's telling me. Here are the last few lines of the output:

Error:

I am not a programmer and don't know what is this 'toolchain', where to search for it and so on.

Anyone?

A toolchain is the compiler/linker used for a certain platform.  It sounds like kivy/buildozer doesn't come with whichever toolchain you need for whichever device you're building, but it does at least let you know which toolchain you need (arm-linux-androideabi).
