📌 Overview

IDEKivyAndroid is a custom Python IDE for Android built with Kivy that executes Python scripts using an isolated native Python interpreter. It features:

A graphical interface for viewing output
Embedded Python interpreter (mini_python) compiled as a native executable
Support for Python’s multiprocessing module on Android
Full integration of Python's standard library and native modules (e.g. math, sqlite3)

This makes it ideal for Python education, quick script testing, and multiprocessing demonstrations directly on Android devices

🚀 Features

✅ Kivy GUI with text-based output viewer
✅ Embedded and user-defined script execution
✅ Native mini_python ELF binary linked with libpython3.11.so
✅ Support for multiprocessing using Process
✅ Dynamic extraction of stdlib.zip from assets
✅ Environment setup using Java's ProcessBuilder
✅ Custom Recipe for python-for-android

📱 How It Works

App UI is built with Kivy (main.py) and embeds a script (SCRIPT_CODE).
Python script is written to a file (script.py) at runtime.
mini_python, a native ELF executable, is invoked via ProcessBuilder.
The Python environment (PYTHONPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc.) is configured dynamically.
Standard library is unzipped if needed (stdlib.zip) to support modules.
Script output and errors are displayed in the Kivy interface.
