Is there a way to stop buildozer from cloning python-for-android?

Everytime I make an app, buildozer always tries to clone python-for-android from github.

Is it really necessary to clone everytime I make my app? And is there another way aside from cloning python-for-android everytime I make my app?

I don't have much internet connection and I'm just making a simple app like hello world .

Thanks

Solution

    1. Clone python-for-android somewhere manually

    2. Install dependencies your cloned version would need (can be done just installing python-for-android with pip)

    3. Change your buildozer.spec file adding option p4a.source_dir pointing to cloned directory (for example p4a.source_dir = /home/ken/python-for-android)

    Done! Now buildozer will use your local python-for-android.
