## Buildozer Virtual Machine

The current virtual machine (available via https://kivy.org/downloads/) allow
you to have a ready to use vm for building android application.

### Using shared folders

If the Virtualbox Guest tools are outdated, install the latest one:

- in the Virtualbox: `Devices` -> `Install Guest Additions CD images`
- in the guest/linux: Go to the cdrom and run the installer
- reboot the vm

VirtualBox filesystem doesn't support symlink anymore (don't
try the setextradata solution, it doesn't work.). So you must
do the build outside the shared folder. One solution:

- `sudo mkdir /build`
- `sudo chown kivy /build`
- In your buildozer.spec, section `[buildozer]`, set `build_dir = /build/buildozer-myapp`


### Using your devices via the VM

There is a little icon on the bottom left that represent an USB plug.
Select it, and select your android device on it. Then you can check:

buildozer android adb -- devices

If it doesn't, use Google. They are so many differents way / issues
depending your phone that Google will be your only source of
information, not us :)
