I've never played with kivent_core in the requirements. But yes as of today, it seems like your hostpython2 has a requirement over kivy here: https://github.com/kivy/kivent/blob/29dba81/modules/core/setup.py#L4

Thanks for the reply what do you suggest I should do, I have kivy installed on the system, I have been building apks without kivent installed on linux side.

[thegameguy]

does it has to do with the recipes. I have touched the recipes with p4a that came with the kivent_core, kivent_cymunk and kivent_particles. The p4a master files has a recipes folder. A whole bunch of recipes has these three too. but there is just init.py files in them. The recipes i touched with p4a were manually downloaded from here: https://github.com/kivy/kivent/tree/29dba8181ad855e0aca181f6a9e5b3d12d5bb0ca/modules/recipes

[thegameguy]

found a solution
is to copy kivy and cymunk installation folders from
/home/usermachine/test/.buildozer/android/platform/build/build/python-installs/myapp/lib/python2.7/site-packages
to
/home/usermachine/test/.buildozer/anroid/platform/build/build/other_builds/ hostpython2/desktop/hostpython2/lib/site-packages
note: the addressed may vary, basically we need to copy kivy and cymunk installations from python site packages to hostpython2 sitepackages.

[AndreMiras]

Glad you got it working, but it's still a bug right? I don't know if something could be done from the recipe.

[thegameguy]

yes true, if a recipe could shutil the folders from one site package to another.

upgrading to master version of buildozer solves the issue
