Abstract
This chapter introduces the Kivy framework for building cross-platform applications in Python. It starts by showing you how to prepare the Kivy development environment on a desktop computer. We will create a simple Kivy desktop application. We will also install Buildozer and use it to build an Android Studio project from the desktop app. An APK file is created, which can be installed on an Android device or deployed on Google Play after being signed.
