#
#     [app@demo]
#     title = My Application (demo)
#
#     [app:source.exclude_patterns@demo]
#     images/hd/*
#
# Then, invoke the command line with the "demo" profile:
#
#     buildozer --profile demo android debug

[brentpicasso]

Also reproduces with p4a.branch = stable

[AndreMiras]

Thanks for the bug report. So this is a on-device runtime error. Could you share a reproduction case with the main.py. I suspect this error can also be reproduced directly on the host computer. I suspect it's not p4a related.

[brentpicasso]

This does not reproduce when the app runs from the command line (Linux).

It only reproduces on Android.

Repro:

__version__ = "0.0.1"
import kivy
kivy.require('1.11.1')

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.label import Label
import numpy

class MyApp(App):

    def build(self):
        return Label(text='Hello world')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    MyApp().run()

[AndreMiras]

Nice thank you! Could you now share the complete run stacktrace that you get with this example so we can see the starting line.
Edit: because in your example above the trace seems truncated, we don't see any reference to main.py for instance.

[opacam]

@brentpicasso , seeing your buildozer.spec file I assume that You tested with outdated p4a branches:

• release-2019.07.08
• stable

So, I'm wondering...Is this issue reproducible with android NDK r19b and current p4a's develop branch?

Note: Numpy recipe has been changed since the last published release (v2019.08.09), so this may not be an issue anymore...

[brentpicasso]

Problem also reproduces with

p4a.branch = release-2019.08.09

Checking development branch.

Still could not find ./.buildozer/android/platform/build/dists/podium/templates/AndroidManifest.tmpl.xml after debug build. Aborting.

So far py4a latest and ndk 19b fails to build. Anything else I should provide for repro?

Ping to keep this issue alive. Have I submitted enough information? How can I help further?

[AndreMiras]

I can usually build APK OK, but I'm running on p4a.branch = develop and buildozer master (unreleased).
Edit: regarding the info submitted, well yes the add_docstring() error I see it's on device runtime error, but then you can't build anymore to verify if it's still a problem? Try again on develop. I haven't tried numpy, but I assume just import numpy should definitely work

@brentpicasso, @AndreMiras is right, you should pass the build phase, if you don't pass it, probably it's because you have cached builds in your ~.buildozer folder. Just remove that folder and try it again and you should pass the build, but...even if you pass the build, you will receive exactly the same error, I just reproduced your issue using one of p4a's testapps (setup_testapp_python2) for archs arm64-v8a and armeabi-v7a importing numpy in python2 leads to an TypeError:

TypeError: add_docstring() argument 2 must be str, not None

@brentpicasso, thanks for reporting this issue, I'm working on a fix for that, but I must say that I think that should be fixed elsewhere (probably at numpy or cpython side) but, since I doubt that this get fixed from the mentioned repos, I will propose a solution to p4a team 😉

Thanks again man, and sorry for the delay with the response, I don't have so much time these days.

Note: There is an open issue at numpy about this error here

Great, thank you for the update.
