How to include a java class in my project, how to call it from python, and how to build an android project

[alencina-faa]

I'm developing an Android app and want to use some local Java classes by reading them from Python code.

I saw that packages like Pype or Pyjnius exist, but they include binary code and can't be easily compiled in Wheel.

Then I remembered that Briefcase uses Chaquopy to translate Python into Java code, so I asked:

Is there a way to include Java classes in the project and call them from Python code without using other packages, which would allow me to develop an Android app?

You can add the Java classes to your project using the build_gradle_dependencies or build_gradle_extra_content setting, and access them using the Chaquopy Python API.
