p4a (2019.10.6) project build file management

[RobertFlatt]

Versions

• Python: 3.7
• OS: Android 10
• Kivy: 1.11.1
• Cython: 0.29.13

NDK r19c
I use 19c because 19b is not available at
https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/older_releases
SDK 29

Description

Three issues with project build file management, these are I think new with 2019.10.6:

1. If I edit main.py the change is not included in the apk unless I first delete main.pyc

2. "--clean_bulds" option does not appear to work, but "--clean_all" works

3. If I have two projects, both NDK 19c and SDK 29
   First project builds and runs
   Second project build but fails with SDL Error (see image)
   p4a clean_all
   Second project builds and runs
   First project build but fails with same SDL Error

buildozer.spec

Command:

// REPLACE ME: buildozer command ran? e.g. buildozer android debug

Spec file:

// REPLACE ME: Paste your buildozer.spec file here

Logs

// REPLACE ME: Paste the build ouput containing the error

Could you share your buildozer.spec file? It looks like you're missing python3 in your requirements

Toggling between two apps each with their own .p4a
The build of the second app (whichever that is) always fails as above
"p4a clean_all" clears issue, till next build pair.
"p4a clean_dists" does not clear the issue

The two .p4a

Try with python older than 3.7
