IDEKivyAndroid is a custom Python IDE for Android built with Kivy that executes Python scripts using an isolated native Python interpreter. It features:

• A graphical interface for viewing output
• Embedded Python interpreter (mini_python) compiled as a native executable
• Support for Python’s multiprocessing module on Android
• Full integration of Python's standard library and native modules (e.g. math, sqlite3)

This makes it ideal for Python education, quick script testing, and multiprocessing demonstrations directly on Android devices

• ✅ Kivy GUI with text-based output viewer
• ✅ Embedded and user-defined script execution
• ✅ Native mini_python ELF binary linked with libpython3.11.so
• ✅ Support for multiprocessing using Process
• ✅ Dynamic extraction of stdlib.zip from assets
• ✅ Environment setup using Java's ProcessBuilder
• ✅ Custom Recipe for python-for-android

1. App UI is built with Kivy (main.py) and embeds a script (SCRIPT_CODE).
2. Python script is written to a file (script.py) at runtime.
3. mini_python, a native ELF executable, is invoked via ProcessBuilder.
4. The Python environment (PYTHONPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc.) is configured dynamically.
5. Standard library is unzipped if needed (stdlib.zip) to support modules.
6. Script output and errors are displayed in the Kivy interface.

• Python 3.11
• python-for-android
• buildozer
• Android NDK (via buildozer)

• p4a.local_recipes = ./recipes
• requirements = python3,kivy,minipython

• buildozer android debug

Here's what the app looks like on Android:
