Kivy is a Python framework, and simply installing it on an Android device the same way as on a desktop machine will do nothing. However, you can compile a Kivy application to a standard Android APK that will run just like a normal java app on (more or less) any device.
We provide several different tools to help you run code on an Android device, covered fully in the :doc:`Android packaging documentation </guide/packaging-android>`. These include creating a fully standalone APK that may be released on an Android store, as well as the ability to run your Kivy apps without a compilation step using our pre-prepared Kivy Launcher app.
