Sometimes, the thing holding you back from learning to code can be extremely simple. My problem? Thing is, I had never needed an IDE or an interpreter before. Many people have a similar issue with Python.
Or how to turn their creation into an app that someone can download and buy. In fact, with Python it can occasionally be confusing even just to run a bunch of code. Before we dive into how to run Python, you first need to install the Python interpreter on your machine.
You can find that from the below links:. But this is only going to show you how to install the interpreter. Most of popular Machine Learning and Data Science python libraries are available, making it ideal for testing and experimenting On-The-Go. Download From : Play Store. As The name suggests it's a terminal emulator for Android so as usual you can use it's package manager pkg or apt to install python.
Install Termux from : Play Store. Kavindu Santhusa - Nov I've also open sourced Ignifuga , my 2D Game Engine. Even if you don't use it for games, you might get useful ideas from the code or builder utility named Schafer , after Tim SL4A does what you want.
You can easily install it directly onto your device from their site, and do not need root. It supports a range of languages. Python is the most mature. By default, it uses Python 2.
I have used that port for all kinds of things on a Galaxy S2 and it worked fine. SL4A provides a port of their android library for each supported language.
You can mix options, so you can have a webview for the main interface, and still use native dialogues. There is a third party project named QPython. It builds on SL4A, and throws in some other useful stuff. QPython gives you a nicer UI to manage your installation, and includes a little, touchscreen code editor, a Python shell, and a PIP shell for package management.
They also have a Python 3 port. Both versions are available from the Play Store, free of charge. The main SL4A project itself is pretty much dead. Note that apt install python will install Python3 on Termux. For Python2, you need to use apt install python2. I wanted to add to what JohnMudd has written about Kivy. It has been years since the situation he described, and Kivy has evolved substantially.
The biggest selling point of Kivy, in my opinion, is its cross-platform compatibility. Currently Buildozer and python-for-android are the most recommended tools to build and package your apps.
I have tried them both and can firmly say that they make building Android apps with Python a breeze. Their guides are well documented too. You can use the same code base with few changes required via kivy-ios Homebrew tools, although Xcode is required for the build, before running on their devices AFAIK the iOS Simulator in Xcode currently doesn't work for the xarchitecture build.
There are also some dependency issues which must be manually compiled and fiddled around with in Xcode to have a successful build, but they wouldn't be too difficult to resolve and people in Kivy Google Group are really helpful too. With all that being said, users with good Python knowledge should have no problem picking up the basics quickly. If you are using Kivy for more serious projects, you may find existing modules unsatisfactory.
There are some workable solutions though. Not at the moment and you would be lucky to get Jython to work soon. If you're planning to start your development now you would be better off with just sticking to Java for now on. Using SL4A which has already been mentioned by itself in other answers you can run a full-blown web2py instance other python web frameworks are likely candidates as well.
A WebView is basically nothing more than a striped down web browser pointed at a fixed address. I believe the native Gmail app uses a WebView instead of going the regular widget route. I use the QPython app. It's free and includes a code editor, an interactive interpreter and a package manager, allowing you to create and execute Python programs directly on your device.
Here are some tools listed in official python website. There is an app called QPython3 in playstore which can be used for both editing and running python script. Playstore link. Playstore Link. The Scripting Layer for Android, SL4A, is an open source application that allows programs written in a range of interpreted languages to run on Android.
It also provides a high level API that allows these programs to interact with the Android device, making it easy to do stuff like accessing sensor data, sending an SMS, rendering user interfaces and so on. There's a platform called PyMob where apps can be written purely in Python and the compiler tool-flow PyMob converts them in native source codes for various platforms.
Also check python-for-android. These can be passed around, installed, or uploaded to marketplaces such as the Play Store just like any other Android app. This tool was originally developed for the Kivy cross-platform graphical framework, but now supports multiple bootstraps and can be easily extended to package other types of Python apps for Android.
BeeWare allows you to write your app in Python and release it on multiple platforms. No need to rewrite the app in multiple programming languages. It means no issues with build tools, environments, compatibility, etc. Python for android is a project to create your own Python distribution including the modules you want, and create an apk including python, libs, and your application.
Chaquopy is a plugin for Android Studio's Gradle-based build system. Use a Linux terminal on your Android phone. Use a text editor, SSH into a computer, or even maintain your Kubernetes cluster right from the palm of your hand with Termux.
