APK packaging issue

[Maskedviper]

Question

When we add the libraries one at a time they modulenotfounderror Is removed for the previous library not included but when we include all libraries in one go its taking hours for the packaging process and it still doesn't end up packaging. Like when I include flet,requests and bs4 to the dependencies the apk is being created. As soon as I install pandas into the virtual environment it stalls the packaging process.

The Pandas library seems to be giving the issue as without this library the APK is able to package. Without it, it goes to the end and it shows apk success. I also installed the latest version of pandas into the virtual environment

Could it be due to lack of memory (RAM) causing it to crash?

Thanks for the help!

Numpy (and maybe some others) is a native package.

Hi,

After reading through that document, I just had a few questions:

**Run p4a with --requirements including your custom Python libraries separated with comma, like numpy in the following example:

"p4a create --requirements numpy --arch arm64-v8a --arch armeabi-v7a --arch x86_64 --sdk-dir $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT --ndk-dir $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/ndk/$NDK_VERSION --dist-name mydist"**

Like for this step, how do we correlate it to our project folder in our directories we are using for our project.

$HOME/.python-for-android/dists/mydist
export SERIOUS_PYTHON_P4A_DIST=$HOME/.python-for-android/dists/mydist

Like even for these steps, how do we correlate the directories to our own project?

Thank you for your help!

What do you mean by correlate?

So for this p4a create --requirements numpy --arch arm64-v8a --arch armeabi-v7a --arch x86_64 --sdk-dir $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT --ndk-dir $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/ndk/$NDK_VERSION --dist-name mydist"

I am just confused about the directory names. Like what is the purpose of this command or is this just an example?

[FeodorFitsner]

It's an example. You should put the list of your Python packages instead of numpy.

Thank you! I will try that
