Hi everyone, the UnrealEnginePython project now supports deploying on Android:

# Deploying on Android devices

Starting from release 20180723 and engine 4.20 you can deploy the UnrealEnginePython plugin on android devices (both for launching and for packaging).

The python distribution is the one from the "Crystax NDK" project (https://www.crystax.net/android/ndk), but you do not need to download it as this repository
already contains the required shared libraries and headers as well as the the python standard lib compressed in a zip file:

https://github.com/20tab/UnrealEnginePython/tree/master/android/armeabi-v7a

https://github.com/20tab/UnrealEnginePython/tree/master/android/python35

Albeit the repository contains the files for python2.7, currently the only supported release is the 3.5.

Obviously you need UnrealEnginePython source distribution to rebuild the plugin for Android.

## The First Project

I am assuming your project is already deployable on Android and now you want to add a simple Python Component to one of its Character:

```python

This file has been truncated. show original

This means you can write your game logic in python and run the project on Android devices (tested on oculus go too).

Currently only python 3.5 is supported out of the box.

The repository already contains the arm shared libraries for python so you do not need to compile them.
