[Mobile-sig] opensource.com article about Python on Android

[Russell Keith-Magee]

Hi folks - BeeWare project maintainer here.

Completely agreed that there isn't much tutorial material - we definitely want to write a lot more. As with all FLOSS projects, it's hinging on having time and/or volunteer effort to do something (or, as happened recently - a generous grant from the PSF to fund some development work).

That said - the tutorials that *do* exist should be enough to get you to the point of an app running on iOS and Android; if you hit any problems, or have any questions beyond what is covered by the tutorial, I'm more than happy to answer those questions - either here, or on the BeeWare chat rooms (https://gitter.im/beeware/general)

Yours,
Russ Magee %-)

All have done thus far is test it, to make sure it could pull off the compilation/generation of a .apk file, but, the tutorial material on the following pages pretty much sums it up exactly:

https://docs.beeware.org/en/latest/tutorial/tutorial-1.html



The fifth step relates to compiling the .apk file, while the previous pages relate to installing the modules/packages, working with them via a virtual environment python prompt, etc., and, a bit of the toga layout-by-code implementations - there's not too much tutorial material on that subject, FWIW.



Stay well

I had actually forgotten about this mailing list, and, on this note,
just been playing around with beeware, which lets you use layout-by-code
and a module called briefcase, to package the same python code for
multiple platforms, including android:

Can you share your experiences with Beeware to make an Android application?

I think it's useful to have an idea of what people have done because it gives
others an idea of what is possible, and it potentially shows them the steps
they need to take to achieve something similar.
