# create directory structure
mkdir -p ~/Desktop/android-sdk/cmdline-tools

# download archive
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/commandlinetools-linux-7302050_latest.zip

# extract archive
unzip commandlinetools-linux-7302050_latest.zip

# cleanup file
rm commandlinetools-linux-7302050_latest.zip

# rename extracted directory
mv cmdline-tools tools

# add sdkmanager and future android to PATH variable

unzip android-ndk-r19c-linux-x86_64.zip

# cleanup file
rm android-ndk-r19c-linux-x86_64.zip
  1. Download android platform and build-tools
sdkmanager "platforms;android-28"
sdkmanager "platforms;android-29"
sdkmanager "build-tools;28.0.2"
sdkmanager "build-tools;29.0.0"
  1. Setup python virtual environment
cd ~/Desktop

# create python virutual environment with python 3.7.6
python3.7 -m venv p4a-env

# activate python virtual environment
source p4a-env/bin/activate

# install required packages
pip instal wheel cython python-for-android

# verify the installation of python-for-android package
p4a --versoin
  1. Build apk using p4a
