Android on Windows 10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To use buildozer in Windows 10 you need first to enable Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and install a Linux distribution: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10.

These instructions were tested with WSL 1 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

After installing WSL and Ubuntu in your Windows 10 machine, open Ubuntu and do this:

1) Run the commands listed on the previous section (Android in Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit).
2) Run the following commands:

::

# Use here the python version you need
sudo apt install -y python3.7-venv
# Create a folder for buildozer. For example: C:\buildozer
mkdir /mnt/c/buildozer
cd /mnt/c/buildozer
python3.7 -m venv venv-buildozer
source venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install --upgrade wheel
python -m pip install --upgrade cython
python -m pip install --upgrade virtualenv
python -m pip install --upgrade buildozer
# Restart your WSL terminal to enable the path change

Windows Subsystem for Linux does not have direct access to USB. Due to this, you need to install the Windows version of ADB (Android Debug Bridge):

- Go to https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools and click on "Download SDK Platform-Tools for Windows".

- Unzip the downloaded file to a new folder. For example, "C:\\platform-tools".

Before Using Buildozer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you wish, clone your code to a new folder, where the build process will run.

You don't need to create a virtualenv for your code requirements. But just add these requirements to a configuration file called buildozer.spec as you will see in the following sections.

Before running buildozer in your code folder, remember to go into the buildozer folder and activate the buildozer virtualenv.
