I tried with this getting started https://python-for-android.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart/ and installed p4a via pip, seems the issue is still there.

Yes. And that should be fixed. But using p4a.branch = develop works right now afaik 😃

I was running into this issue too. @mnba’s answer worked for me.

The current release and latest ‘develop’ branch both are failed to be built, because of this persisting error, and the only way to make this working was that original way as it was on the day 1: <<<Solution (or workaround)

import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.view.KeyEvent;`

``` needed to be added to 
`/home/$USER/.local/share/python-for-android/dists/unnamed_dist_1__armeabi-v7a/src/main/java/org/kivy/android/PythonActivity.java`
below line
`package org.kivy.android;`  >>>

So this bug is needed to be reopened.

2. What is the real reason this can't be solved?

No worries, that’s my bad for also overlooking it. At least you made a comprehensive bug report and you gave it a try to fix it. Thanks again

ahah true that, I overlooked it. I’ll make a PR. Actually the sdl2 one was not needed, so I’ll revert 😃

AndreMiras on Jun 5, 2020

Sorry for confusing you @AndreMiras

I fixed the issue for sdl2 type of bootstrap. But bug for webview still exists.

Thanks for testing it. So I understand it’s fixed for webview, but some other files still has the issue? Completely agree for the linter and it’s in my task list. I actually have something ready-ish in local, but I’d like my other PR to be approved so I can merge and move forward with more stuff. I don’t like piling too many PRs

AndreMiras on Jun 5, 2020

Ok. Will try it out. I may need a day or two to test it out. Hope the delay is not a issue. If it is you may mark the issue as closed.

That’s the type of bug reports I’d like to see more often 💪 Kudos for the effort to respect the format and the investigation regarding the solution 👏 So you’re saying I introduced a regression in https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/pull/2187/files#diff-6d13f4ee93e76e3cd43f2bb12409e0b3L20-L22 😅 I think your solution is valid, please make a pull request with it, otherwise I can make it myself later
