You can use kivy to develop Android apps with really nice and innovative widgets using Python
Kivy is OpenSource
The easiest way to run Kivy is through the an app called Kivy Launcher found at
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kivy.pygame
on the Play .
What you need to do on your phone ?
Go to storage/emulated/0/
(sometimes named as sdcard)
You have to
1 create a folder named kivy in the above location
2 create a folder having the same name as your project in the kivy folder above
The two files needed
In the folder having the same name as your app name, create two files
1 android.txt
2 main.py
android.txt
In android.txt write
title = myPyApp
author = AR
orientation = portrait
just replace the title and author with your own !
In main.py write
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.button import Button
class TestApp(App):
def build(self):
return Button(text=’Hello world, from a nice blog’)
TestApp().run()
Now go to the kivy launcher you should see :
.
.
choose your project :
.
.
You see :

.
If you click it, it will become Blue as it’s a button
.
.
Problems creating files etc ?
Download :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
Es explorer, a file nice explorer
Kivy launcher really crappy instruction
Well, i had to glue together pieces of information to get the laucher running,
Kivy recommends the launcher, but it seems that they thought you made the app…
user comments are always valuable . . .
Word of caution
The launcher should only be used for quick testing, not for production !
A bit of everything - copy 
That’s a shame, I could of made SeaSurf for Android a lot more enhanced, if kivy launcher was for production. 😎😎

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.utils import platform
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
from kivy.clock import Clock
from jnius import autoclass
from android.runnable import run_on_ui_thread
from kivy.uix.textinput import TextInput
TextInput = TextInput(text=”)
WebView = autoclass(‘android.webkit.WebView’)
WebViewClient = autoclass(‘android.webkit.WebViewClient’)
activity = autoclass(‘org.renpy.android.PythonActivity’).mActivity
class Wv(Widget):
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
super(Wv, self).__init__(**kwargs)
Clock.schedule_once(self.create_webview, 0)
@run_on_ui_thread
def create_webview(self, *args):
webview = WebView(activity)
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(True)
wvc = WebViewClient();
webview.setWebViewClient(wvc);
activity.setContentView(webview)
webview.loadUrl(‘http://coolchasgamer.wordpress.com’)

textedit = TextEdit(activity)

ServiceApp().run()
[/code]
This allows you to display web pages with kivy.
