Current GPS example does not build for android with python 3.

[piet8stevens]

The supplied buildozer.spec file works with python 2.7 but not with python 3. I have built it on ubuntu 16.04.

In order to make it work with python 3, the buildozer.spec file needs the following changes (thanks to Alexander Taylor):

• requirements must be changed to include "android, python3crystax".
• ndk must be changed to refer to the crystax ndk in android.ndk_path

It makes it easier for a beginner (like me) to provide a buildozer.spec that works with python 3. Maybe provide 2 .spec files? This way, beginners can get up to speed faster and avoid wasting time.

I have not tried any other examples, but the comment may be valid for others, too.

If the community has an interest in getting this done, I can fork, make the changes and do a pull request. Question to be resolved is whether to provide 2 .spec files, one each for python 2.7 and 3.

I like the idea. IMO we should have the spec files for all packaging we already have i.e. if it's on android, then let's have buildozer_android_py2.spec, buildozer_android_py3.spec and for iOS buildozer_iOS_py2.spec (and py3 in the future) + pyinstaller spec for (at least) Windows. This way if one person packages is correctly we'd have a base that we can later edit. It could also make testing before a release faster if everything works right.

We don't need Python 2 support any more, but I would like to hear that the provided Buildozer.spec works now for Python 3 (i.e. at all)
