Installation on Android¶
Please note that Kivy is a framework. Installing Kivy itself on your phone will do absolutely nothing. Kivy is not an application.
That said, we provide a “launcher” that allows you to push your Kivy application onto your phone and execute it through a simple interface. We’ll provide instructions for packaging your Kivy application in a standalone way in the future.
To install the Kivy launcher, you must:
- Go to the Kivy Launcher on the Android market
- Click on Install
- Select your phone... And you’re done!
Now, you can put your Kivy applications in the Kivy directory on the SD Card. Refer to Kivy on Android for a more detailed explanation.
