Kivent is one of the Kivy sister projects which is also using Cython (way more than Kivy itself I'd say), therefore you definitely need to cross-compile it to Android.

By default (non-qpython approach) you can either create a Kivy Launcher(1, 2) with kivent as a dependency or assemble a separate app (not editable unfortunately).

QPython app has some kind of package index(like PyPI) which from what I've heard should work from the phone side, however I don't see kivent anywhere, therefore I think it's not possible to install kivent to qpython app until the guys who maintain the package index cross-compile it and upload for the common users.

Also, there's some kind of "component" thingy which is mentioned together with C/C++ libs, however the link is empty.

  • I did a quick search but most of them require me to use a computer to first compile the library in a computer. My computer is currently having issues. Is it possible to compile the libraries in my phone itself? Also, I do not have such a great technical knowledge of how to assemble a seperate app using kivy launcher and kivent in it. Could you elaborate? Thanks in advance – Madworks Sep 24 '17 at 10:26
