I haven't deeply checked yet, but that sounds like a very cool idea 👏 |
|
Oh yes, I will try to do something to cover this 😉 |

Awesome, thanks for that! I'll try reviewing later. I still have a lot to catch up with on other PR, but I have to say PR with tests usually get higher prio for me 😄 So you may have yours reviewed earlier than expected |

LGTM, I've installed the buildozer version of your fork.
pip3 install --upgrade--user /~https://github.com/opacam/buildozer/archive/feature-use-p4a-ndk.zipAnd I made a build with p4a.branch = develop.
Logs gave:
# Recommended android's NDK version by p4a is: 17c
Which is the ndk I'm using and build succeeded
buildozer/targets/android.py
Outdated

| if (not os.path.exists(pa_dir)) or (not os.path.isfile(rec_file)): |

Minor: why not only checking for os.path.isfile(rec_file)?
Only if the p4a version used has the file `pythonforandroid/recommendations.py`, which contains the info we want, otherwise we will return the buildozer's one

thanks @AndreMiras 😄 since it seems that @inclement has no opposition on this one (kivy/python-for-android#1962) I merge this 👍 |
So this way, if an user has not specified the android's NDK version via buildozer.spec's file, We will try to get the recommended one by p4a, established in
pythonforandroid.recommendations.pyfile, so depending on the version of p4a used, we can use an android NDK or another.This will allow us to solve the problem where p4a needs to move to a newer android NDK in develop branch, but also we need to preserve the old one for p4a's master branch (like the
ndk-r19-migrationthing that we are dealing this days in p4a, kivy/python-for-android#1722).Note: in case that an old version of p4a is used, previous to 2019, where the p4a's recommendations file still not existed, We will fallback to buildozer's hardcoded NDK version
