I’ve built a little application that works just as well on PC as it does on Android (nothing complicated; the application is excessively simple).
Everything works fine on my android and on my debian and windows. On the other hand, I have an esthetic problem on Android.
When I launch the application, it displays the Kivy logo and a “loading …” message.
I’m in the latest version of buildozer, kivy and python and while searching on Google (old articles) I’m told that I need to change the buildozer.spec file but none of the proposed solutions work.
Do you have any ideas? Is it still possible?
Customize Splash Screen (Optional): If you want to create a custom splash screen, you can create a new layout and use it to display your logo or message while the app initializes. For example, you can use Kivy’s ScreenManager to control this behavior. Here’s a simple example:
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager, Screen
from kivy.uix.image import Image
from kivy.uix.label import Label
from kivy.clock import Clock
class SplashScreen(Screen):
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
super().__init__(**kwargs)
# Add a custom image or message to the splash screen
self.add_widget(Image(source='your_splash_image.png'))
Clock.schedule_once(self.change_screen, 3) # Wait 3 seconds before changing screen
def change_screen(self, dt):
self.manager.current = 'main_screen'
class MainScreen(Screen):
pass
class MyApp(App):
def build(self):
sm = ScreenManager()
sm.add_widget(SplashScreen(name='splash'))
sm.add_widget(MainScreen(name='main_screen'))
return sm
if __name__ == '__main__':
MyApp().run()
This code shows a custom splash screen for 3 seconds before transitioning to the main screen.
Rebuild the Application: After making the changes to the buildozer.spec file, you need to rebuild the application by running:
buildozer android debug
This should remove the Kivy logo and “loading…” message or allow you to customize the startup screen.

Ok I found the solution (I’m stupid ^^ )
Here are the actions I’ve follow
- open the buildozer.desc
- add presplash.filename = yourfile.png (and not presplash.file as I’ve done since days … you know why I’m stupid now)
- add android.presplash_color= black (or any color you want)
and compile …
Sorry for my stupid questions 🙁
