Syntax error in Kivy and KivyMD dependencies file when using Buildozer to compile KivyMD app

[mkc2019]

Versions

• Python: 3.6.9
• OS: Ubuntu 18.04
• Buildoze

Description

I was trying to build my KivyMD app and run it inside my android phone. It used to work once, although the app failed to open at that time. After doing some changes to .spec and trying to run it again, I kept receiving an error saying that there are syntax errors in Kivy and KivyMD library. Since those are dependencies, I have no means of changing them...

It seems that Buildozer is not using the correct python to compile the files, but I am not sure how to check that, neither do I know how to fix it.

Would you have any idea what is happening?

Command:

buildozer -v android debug

Spec file:

buildozer.spec.txt

Ok. I sort of fix it, but it is quite a painful solution.

Apparently, my buildozer installation is messed up. Therefore, I decided to re-install my Linux OS.

After setting up my VM again, I followed through the buildozer installation guide on Buildozer site:
https://buildozer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html

And guess what? It works!

Note: I did not install buildozer into my default python3. Instead, I install it into my virtual environment as it is easier to manage that way. Most importantly, I don't have to confuse myself with pip and pip3 because I am sure that python 3 is being used.
