no way to change bootstrap

[jligeza]

There should be an option in buildozer.spec allowing to switch bootstraps between pygame, sdl2 and webview. I would like to test the new webview, but buildozer forces the sdl2.

You can now do this with buildozer master using android.bootstrap = webview.

@jligeza, did you managed to get it working?
The webview mode worked for me using p4a directly, but with buildozer I'm getting a black screen.
Maybe it's the port parameter that is missing? I don't know how to set it in the spec file.

@andresmrm Yes, I managed to launch it, here is the spec file: http://pastebin.com/un7szCmJ
However, it was very buggy and kept crashing all the time, probably because I used python 2 instead of 3.

Thanks, I'll test it.

Strange you say that it was buggy for you. For me the Flask webview worked much better then Kivy (with the last one, even a simple button was crashing randomly, with the first, I'm yet to see a crash).
But I'm building directly with p4a:
https://github.com/andresmrm/sshd-switch/blob/master/build.sh
Using ANDROIDAPI="21" and ANDROIDNDKVER="r12b".
I'm not sure but it seems the flask requirement installs python2 and python3 (not python3crystax). But it only worked installing p4a using pip from Python 2 and not from Python 3...
