Issue Compiling Matplotlib for Android (Buildozer)

📝 Subject: Issue Compiling Matplotlib for Android (Buildozer)

Hey everyone, I'm trying to package my Kivy/KivyMD app for Android using Buildozer,
but it's failing when trying to compile Matplotlib from source.

---

📌 Issue

Buildozer gets stuck at:

[INFO]:    Building matplotlib for arm64-v8a
[INFO]:    matplotlib apparently isn't already in site-packages
[INFO]:    Building compiled components in matplotlib
[INFO]:    -> directory context /mnt/c/Users/darto/Documents/.buildozer/android/platform/build-arm64-v8a_armeabi-v7a/build/other_builds/matplotlib/arm64-v8a__ndk_target_21/matplotlib 
[DEBUG]:   -> running python3 setup.py build_ext -v

---

🛠 What I’ve Tried

1️⃣ Added matplotlib to requirements in buildozer.spec.

---

❓ Questions

1️⃣ Is there a prebuilt Matplotlib wheel for Android that I can use instead of compiling?
2️⃣ If Matplotlib needs to be compiled, what dependencies do I need to include?
3️⃣ Any known workarounds to avoid this issue?

---

🙏 Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! 😊

Not long ago we released newer versions of Buildozer and python-for-android. Give it another try and let us know how it's going.
