Building the App

If you want to build the app yourself or make modifications, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

1. Install Buildozer: Make sure you have Buildozer installed on your development machine. You can install it using pip:

    pip install buildozer
   

Note for Windows Users: If you're using a Windows machine, it's recommended to use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to run Buildozer. 2. Create a Directory: Start by creating a new directory (folder) for your project. You can name it whatever you like.

3. Open the folder using your favorite code editor

4. Set Up Environment: Create a Python virtual environment and activate it:

    python -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate # On Windows, use 'venv\Scripts\activate'

5. Dependencies: Install the necessary dependencies for your app, including kivy, kivymd,logging and pytube:

   pip install kivy kivymd pytube logging

Building the APK

1. Navigate to the Project Directory: Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the project directory. You'll do most of your work within this directory.

2. Initialize the Project Configuration: Run the following command to create a buildozer.spec template file for your project:

   buildozer init

   This command will interactively prompt you for various project configuration options and generate a buildozer.spec file based on your responses.

3. Edit the buildozer.spec File: Open the buildozer.spec file in a text editor. Locate requirements line in the file. Edit to,

   requirements = python3,kivy,kivymd,pillow,pytube,logging
   

   making sure the dependencies are installed when the app builds.

4. Build the APK: When you're ready to build your Android app, open a terminal or command prompt in the project directory and run the following command:

   buildozer -v android debug

   This command tells Buildozer to compile your app into an APK, deploy it to a connected device or emulator, and run it. The resulting APK will be placed in the bin directory of your project.

5. Transfer and Install the APK: Transfer the generated APK file to your Android device (e.g., via USB, email, cloud storage) and install it on your device.

6. Run Your App: After installation, you can run your Android app on your device just like any other app.
