Creating an APK from a Python script using the Serious Python library is a straightforward process that involves a few simple steps. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of creating an APK from a Python file using Serious Python and creating a simple Hello World app.
Step 1: Install Serious Python
The first step is to install the Serious Python library on your system. You can install the library using the following command:
pip install seriouspythonStep 2: Create a Python script
Next, create a Python script that you want to convert to an APK. For this tutorial, we will create a simple script that prints "Hello, World!".
Create a new Python file named app.py and add the following code:
print("Hello, World!")Save the file and remember the location as we will need it later.
Step 3: Create the buildozer.spec file
Next, create a buildozer.spec file in the same directory as your Python script. This file contains all the information needed to build the APK. Add the following code to the buildozer.spec file:
[app]
title = Hello World
package.name = helloworld
package.domain = org.test
source.dir = .
requirements = kivy
orientation = portrait
fullscreen = 0
# Add any other modules that your app uses here
# For example:
#android.permissions = INTERNET
[buildozer]
log_level = 2
warn_on_root = 1Step 4: Build the APK
Now that we have our Python script and buildozer.spec file ready, we can build the APK. Open a terminal in the directory where your Python script and buildozer.spec file are located and run the following command:
buildozer -v android debugThis command will build the APK and save it in the bin directory of your project folder. You can find the generated APK file named bin/helloworld-0.1-debug.apk.
Step 5: Test the APK
Congratulations! You have successfully created an APK from a Python script using Serious Python. You can now test the APK on an Android device or an emulator by transferring the APK file to the device and installing it.
That’s it! You have now learned how to create an APK from a Python script using Serious Python. Feel free to explore more advanced features and functionalities of Serious Python to create more complex Android apps. Happy coding!
What's the difference between a flet/flutter project targeted as a browser web-app vs desktop application?
And aside from the book, what is SERIOUS Python ? A package/library.. a coding style.. ?
I'm interested in a Windows application that can read data from a usb serial-com
why dont you just use flet build apk command 🙂

Any idea why is this happening?
Downloading and extracting Python into C:UsersCANCEL~1AppDataLocalTemphostpython3.10….. I'm stuck on this line, not going any further 😢
Hi there
Thanks
I have a question
Can I build apk without downloading android stedio because my computer device not has enough resources
i did the step-by-step, but, when I use "flutter build apk — release", this error appears "[!] No Android SDK found. Try setting the ANDROID_HOME environment variable."
It's a little bit complicated (I mean there nothing hard but this takes some time and attention) so I hope Flet project will integrate into Android Studio and we will be able to just make apps instead of dragging files by hand to pack them into apk file…
This is a great video but I still have a doubt like what a serious python file can you plz make a detailed cause I have to specify things in my project, and I'll be appreciated if you help me to explain that
it says like this:
Python executable found at C:UsersarvijAppDataLocalTemphostpython3.10pythonpython.exe
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement flet-embed==0.8.4 (from versions: 0.9.0, 0.10.0, 0.10.1, 0.10.2, 0.10.3, 0.11.0, 0.12.0, 0.12.1, 0.12.2, 0.13.0, 0.14.0, 0.15.0, 0.16.0, 0.17.0, 0.18.0, 0.19.0, 0.21.2, 0.22.0.dev2589, 0.22.0.dev2590, 0.22.0.dev2594, 0.22.0.dev2595, 0.22.0.dev2601, 0.22.0.dev2602, 0.22.0.dev2609, 0.22.0.dev2623, 0.22.0.dev2627, 0.22.0.dev2630, 0.22.0)

what to do then? I need your help
Hi! I appreciate your tutorial very much. Asking you for help. How to create an apk with remote database database? Thank you for your response.
Thank you very much for the teaching, I have a question, if you have 3 or more .py files, do I paste all the files in the src folder of make_app? Thank you very much again.
20gb? WTF IS THAT
Good! Worked!
The process is kinda HARDER than I thought.
But how to change app's configurations (name, icon, etc…)? I really don't want to see "flet_example" with Flutter icon.
If you'll say how – this is truly the best tutorial!
Great work and explanation! Thumbs up.
The oher side is that I'm getting indefinite loop of Connecting to flet server flet.sock…. at the end of deploying on Nexus 6 virtual device in Android Studio. Any suggestions???

isn't much easier to use pygbag?
Thank you for making video. I want to make apk file with getting status code from request module with flet. Can you tell me how to pakage module also?
Big thanks Mate for this instruction! 🥳 I feel confused Flet homepage does not have such explanation
Thank you sir! may I know the way install the Flet app on iPhone, macOS and Windows also? thanks!
How did you collect these files for the process of downloading new updates?
hello! Is it necessary to update the files in the serious_python_apk folder to be able to create the application in the future?
