Get App in full screen with status bar and navigation bar transparent

Want somthing like this?

Import this on top

from android.runnable import run_on_ui_thread
from jnius import autoclass

Add this function in your code and call it in build function.

    @run_on_ui_thread
    def setup_android(self):
        activity = autoclass("org.kivy.android.PythonActivity").mActivity
        WindowCompat = autoclass("androidx.core.view.WindowCompat")
        ViewCompat = autoclass("androidx.core.view.ViewCompat")
        Color = autoclass("android.graphics.Color")
        window = activity.getWindow()
        windowInsetsController = ViewCompat.getWindowInsetsController(
            window.getDecorView()
        )
        windowInsetsController.setAppearanceLightNavigationBars(self.BarMode)
        windowInsetsController.setAppearanceLightStatusBars(self.BarMode)
        WindowCompat.setDecorFitsSystemWindows(window, False)
        window.setNavigationBarColor(Color.TRANSPARENT)
        window.setStatusBarColor(Color.TRANSPARENT)

(Here self.BarMode is bool. It sets the color of text and icons in staus and navigation bar)

If you have custom android.entrypoint please replace it with org.kivy.android.PythonActivity

Add this in buildozer.spec:

android.apptheme = "@style/AppTheme"

Now create a file naming styles.xml:

<resources>
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar">
        <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
        <item name="android:enforceNavigationBarContrast">false</item>
    </style>
</resources>

Now when you will compile your app, it will fail.

Then move styles.xml to .buildozer/android/platform/build-armeabi-v7a/dists/<>/src/main/res/values/styles.xml(replace <> with you package.name)

Now try compile it, then your app will be in full screen with transparent status and navigation bar

Get all installed apps with icon and starting intent

This also requires a permission in android 11+

buildozer.spec

android.permissions = QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES

Don't forget to import this on top

from android.runnable import run_on_ui_thread
from jnius import autoclass

set ANDROID_PATH in starting of your app class to /data/data/<>/shared_prefs (replace <> with package name)

    @run_on_ui_thread
    def get_all_apps(self) -> dict:
        Bitmap = autoclass("android.graphics.Bitmap")
        Canvas = autoclass("android.graphics.Canvas")
        Intent = autoclass("android.content.Intent")
        BitmapConfig = autoclass("android.graphics.Bitmap$Config")
        File = autoclass("java.io.File")
        FileOutputStream = autoclass("java.io.FileOutputStream")
        CompressFormat = autoclass("android.graphics.Bitmap$CompressFormat")
        activity = autoclass("org.kivy.android.PythonActivity").mActivity
        intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN)
        PackageManager = activity.getPackageManager()
        intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER)

        InstalledApps = PackageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0)
        self.AllInstalledApps = {}

        if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(self.ANDROID_PATH, "icons")) != True:
            os.mkdir(os.path.join(self.ANDROID_PATH, "icons"))

        for app in InstalledApps:
            icon_file = os.path.join(
                self.ANDROID_PATH, "icons/{}.png".format(app.activityInfo.packageName)
            )
            drawable = app.activityInfo.loadIcon(PackageManager)
            bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(
                drawable.getIntrinsicWidth(),
                drawable.getIntrinsicHeight(),
                BitmapConfig.ARGB_8888,
            )
            canvas = Canvas(bitmap)
            drawable.setBounds(0, 0, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight())
            drawable.draw(canvas)
            imageFile = File(
                os.path.join(self.ANDROID_PATH, "icons/"),
                "{}.png".format(app.activityInfo.packageName),
            )

            file_buffer = FileOutputStream(imageFile)
            bitmap.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 100, file_buffer)
            file_buffer.close()

            self.AllInstalledApps[app.loadLabel(PackageManager)] = [
                app.activityInfo.packageName,
                icon_file,
                app.activityInfo.packageName + "/" + app.activityInfo.name,
            ]

        with open(os.path.join(self.ANDROID_PATH, "apps_installed.json"), "w") as file:
            json.dump(self.AllInstalledApps, file)
            file.close()
        print(self.AllInstalledApps)
        return self.AllInstalledApps

This will save icons to icons folder in shared_prefs and print something like:

03-07 09:53:34.590  3054  3054 I python  : {'Camera': ['com.android.camera2', '/data/data/com.tdynamos.snowflakes/shared_prefs/icons/com.android.camera2.png', 'com.android.camera2/com.android.camera.CameraLauncher'], 'Contacts': ['com.android.contacts', '/data/data/com.tdynamos.snowflakes/shared_prefs/icons/com.android.contacts.png', 'com.android.contacts/com.android.contacts.activities.PeopleActivity'], 'Clock': ['com.android.deskclock', '/data/data/com.tdynamos.snowflakes/shared_prefs/icons/com.android.deskclock.png', 'com.android.deskclock/com.android.deskclock.DeskClock'], 'Gallery': ['com.android.gallery3d', '/data/data/com.tdynamos.snowflakes/shared_prefs/icons/com.android.gallery3d.png', 'com.android.gallery3d/com.android.gallery3d.app.GalleryActivity'], 

Now you can start you app with that last arg using:

    @run_on_ui_thread
    def launch_app(self, root):
        strings = root.split("/")
        Intent = autoclass("android.content.Intent")
        ComponentName = autoclass("android.content.ComponentName")
        intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN)
        activity = autoclass("org.kivy.android.PythonActivity").mActivity
        intent.setClassName(strings[0], strings[1])
        intent.setComponent(ComponentName(strings[0], strings[1]))
        intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)
        activity.startActivity(intent)

where root is arg[-1] like com.android.camera2/com.android.camera.CameraLauncher
