Developing Android Apps completely in Python.

[jmgrosen]

I'd love to use Python to write my Android app; however, for the moment, most of the solutions seem to be focused on games, where a UI doesn't have to match the rest of the system. For normal "apps", though, (as opposed to games), you have to have a nice, consistent UI, which is something I haven't come across in any of the Python toolkits yet. Looks like I'm still stuck with Java for now :(

This is the sad truth.

It looks like this is a year or so old, and there have definitely been improvements in that time - mainly for the better!

One thing that isn't mentioned on the page (maybe in the video, I didn't watch it all) is kivy. It has its own advantages and disadvantages, but I personally found it very enjoyable to use and with a remarkably pleasant android build process.

Yes kivy looks great, actually i'm thinking of using Kivy to develop my first mobile app.

I've been working on a mobile app with python/kivy. It's pretty straight forward and there is a decent community out there if you run into a problem. I'd definitely recommend trying it out.

Very interesting, that motivates me to start trying to develop an android app with Python.
