# Aidl not found, please install it.
I was getting the same exact error, and I did a bit of digging, turns out we need to install build-tools for the android SDK through Android SDK Manager
inside our home folder there is the .buildozer hidden directory that buildozer created for us
this is the path to the Android SDK Manager: "/home/username/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-20/tools/android"
just need to run android and update the sdk, and aidl will be installed.
Also, Just typing android will only run the executable if it is in a folder specified in your $PATH environment variable (which includes standard locations like /usr/bin). If it's in the current folder, but that folder is not in the $PATH, run it with ./android instead - that is, passing a filepath (which is interpreted unambiguously to run the executable at that destination).
