Target ndk-api is 19, but the **python3 recipe supports only 21**

Description

// I'm trying to build an apk in a virtual machine, but an error comes out
Build failed: Target ndk-api is 19, but the python3 recipe supports only 21+
How do I change the settings to remove the API restriction?

buildozer.spec

Command:

[app]

title = FitRoom
package.name = fitroom
package.domain = org.test


source.dir = /media/sf_work/FitRoom-1.063-testcamera/
version = 0.1


requirements = python2, kivy==1.10.1, plyer

orientation = landscape

fullscreen = 1

android.permissions = CAMERA, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, INTERNET

android.api = 19
android.minapi = 9
android.sdk = 21
android.ndk = 9c

android.logcat_filters = *:W python:D
p4a.branch = master

log_level = 2

@101iv as far as I'm aware you need to use an older p4a version with e.g. python3crystax, or use python 2 with the python2legacy recipe. or drop support for devices with API level lower than 21 (to do that, you need to set android.minapi to 21 and android.api to 21 or higher). There is currently no support implemented on latest master for API lower than 21 I believe

@Jonast , thank you for your time,
the application was assembled with the following settings:

[app]

title = FitRoom
package.name = fitroom
package.domain = org.test
source.dir = /media/sf_work/FitRoom-1.062/
source.include_exts = py,png,jpg,kv,atlas
version = 0.1


requirements = python2, kivy==1.10.1, plyer, pyjnius, android

android.permissions = CAMERA, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, INTERNET

android.api = 27
android.minapi = 19
android.sdk = 23
android.ndk = r16b
android.ndk_api = 19

android.ndk_path = /home/kivy/Android/android-ndk-r16b/
android.sdk_path = /home/kivy/Android/android-sdk-23/

android.arch = armeabi-v7a
p4a.source_dir = /home/kivy/Repos/python-for-android/

[buildozer]
log_level = 2
warn_on_root = 1

Then, when there is time, I will test minapi < 19

This is expected behaviour, since we no longer really support minimum/ndk APIs less than 21. Supporting minapi 19 with python3 would be possible, there was a patch for it that we could add, but that's a separate issue.

Hi!
@inclement, we are starting a discussion about using the camera in API 21+ in Kivy 6919 issue.
