Build & Deploy Kivy Python App (.apk) with Buildozer to Android (Windows & Linux)

This tutorial demonstrates how to build and deploy an android app to your smartphone. The app was programmed with python and the kivy framework. Buildozer, the android debug bridge and the ubuntu subsystem were used to build, deploy and debug the android app. This tutorial works also perfectly fine for Ubuntu.

If anything is unclear, feel free to ask and write a comment.
