so I have a project that developed with django ,Django Restframework.
I had planned for UI handling. Reactjs and Reatnative for UI .but I searched and found Kivy project that comes with Cross Platforms for making Apps and games.my project doesn't involve any game stuff just regular web site.
is it good using kivy for handling UI for Android and IOs?
I also checked kivy supports fully Url request for interact with Rest APIs.

Kivy is really good alternative to android native programming language for python programmers. You need ubuntu to build apk for kivy apps. However, installing ubuntu or virtual environment is not mandatory if you use windows 10 because windows 10 have linux subsystem. You can check it on this videoVideo.
Kivy is general framework which is not specific to games or graphical application only. Kivy support regular mobile application development, we can check it by the provided widgets. The widgets are also customizable So, kivy is a pretty good alternative.

We working on a project which involves ML/AI integration to the native mobile application. We are programing our ML/AI code in python. Python code has dependencies, that we need to include in our mobile application.
We have tried with kivy but they only create .apk files and apk files can't be called from other apks. So, we need to create libraries that can be included in the android and ios projects.
Also, we tried chequopy but that doesn't support mediapipe which is in heart of our implementation.
Any guidance in that direction will go long way for us.
If your app was entirely self-contained in python including dependencies using recipes should be possible. If rewriting the native app is not an option maybe one idea is to serve the ML over an HTTP API running on a local server (eg flask). Quite cumbersome as users would need to install two apps
I am currently learning Python as part of my job and was interested in the possibility of creating android applications using what I am learning. Unfortunately I only have access to a computed at work and the system is pretty locked down in that I cannot export work I create etc and the only device I have during my leisure time is my android phone.
I have heard about the possibility of using Kivy but have only seen reference to this being used on MacOS, Linux or Windows making me think my only choice would be running a virtual machine which would be less convenient than running a native tool. I have also seen that AIDE is a great tool for android app development on mobile but can only be used with C++/Java which would involve learning additional languages and PyDroid3 being a great python tool but don't know how this could be used to create android apps.
Any experience or knowledge in this area would be much appreciated. I understand the best scenario would be to either buy a laptop/pc and use PyCharm and/or Kivy or to learn Java and used the official Android development suite but in my current situation this is not possible.
Just download pydroid3 from play store and follow the steps to create an android app.
Install kivymd module using pip in pydroid3.
Watch kivymd tutorials on youtube to learn kivymd module , you can also refer to kivymd documentation on google.
Develop application using kivymd module in pydroid3.
Convert your python file to apk using kivy buildozer in google colab in chrome on your mobile phone.
I haven't used kivymd but I have used kivy in pyroid3 and it works really well on a phone. Also when you run the code it gives a really good indication of how the final app will look on the phone. But that said I have only used Buildozer to compile the .APK and this only works in Linux so for me that ment virtual Linux system.
So I was following along this Python tutorial teaching how to make a mobile app using Kivy, and at the end they used Buildozer to package it for Android. I discovered that Buildozer doesn't work for Windows. I tried looking for other ways, but have not found any straightforward way that works for Windows.
Would anyone be able to link me a relevant instruction page or explain how can I package my Kivy app for Android from a Windows WITHOUT using a virtual machine?
I am working on an application for a 32 bit PC. i have almost completed the front end and backend. now i want to build executable for my application (if that's even possible in case of react and django). I want to run the application on a 32 bit PC. I myself have a 64 bit machine. Please guide me how do i do that. For django application i can create a virtual environment? but would that require me to install python on the system i want to install the app. and in case of react how can i build it from my PC to work on 32 bit PC. Thanks in advance.
So i found that for the front end based in react one can build an executable file and an installer using electron. Electron is an open-source software framework developed and maintained by GitHub. It allows for the development of desktop GUI applications using web technologies: it combines the Chromium rendering engine and the Node.js runtime. You can read more about electron on Electron website.
And for the backend in django there are tools to make exe file of a python-django but making an exe file for django project is not the best practice.
Other alternative to use in javascript/React is sqlite3 npm package sqlites
How can I create a simple frame in Kivy (Python for mobile), which will include a simple TextBox ?
Thanks guys
The biggest name I know of that uses (or used) wxPython is probably Dropbox:
How does Dropbox use Python on Windows and OS X?
This web page implies that NASA also uses wxPython:
https://modelingguru.nasa.gov/docs/DOC-2424/diff?secondVersionNumber=4
Google uses Python itself for all kinds of things and has been a big supporter of Python. They provide Python bindings to many of their product's APIs for example.

Whyteboard was getting popular for a while too.
There is significant movement away from desktop development to web and mobile development. For mobile, one of the best Python projects out there is Kivy. For the web, you have a lot of choices:
django
flask
pyramid
Plone / Zope
web2py
I have seen some pretty impressive desktop GUIs created using PyQt and IronPython, so I can't say that desktop GUI development is totally dead.
