Problem Running Kivy with Mapview on Android

[LukasG28]

Hello together!

I tried to build an app using kivy and mapview. On my mac with python it works perfectly. I convert the file to .apk via buildozer and this does work, too. But when I run the app (installed via .apk) on my S7edge, the loading screen appears and suddenly the app closes.

I attach my minimal Code snippet and my buildozer spec-file. To save you time:
"""
requirements = python3,kivy,openssl,futures,requests
garden_requirements = mapview
android.permissions = INTERNET, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
"""
One little thing I noticed: While installing the app, there are no questions asked about permissions. I don't know if this is correct.

Thank you in advance
Lukas

seems the garden_requirements setting of buildozer.spec is no longer supported - see issue kivy/buildozer#1186. the workaround is to add mapview to the requirements setting as `kivy_garden.mapview` Am Mo., 30. Nov. 2020 um 18:38 Uhr schrieb LukasG28 < [email protected]>:

This is a really useful information, but unfortunately it does not solve the problem. App still closes after loading screen. I am not sure how to go on. I could set up kivy on a ubuntu system to see if the problems relies on the operating system. My second idea would be to look in the logcat. I am not sure if the problem is caused by the buildozer setup or the usage...

Short update about my logcat after I managed to see it via android studio:
