I recently started targeting android with some programs i had already written in kivy on my pc, but after building and installing on my phone I have discovered that urllib doesn't seem to accept ANY url i feed to it despite the fact that it works perfectly on my pc. In Addition, any kivy widget that makes use of urllib to connect to the internet fails in the exact same way.
Here's some example code:
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.image import AsyncImage
class TestApp(App):
def build(self):
return AsyncImage(source="http://kivy.org/logos/kivy-logo-black-64.png")
TestApp().run()
When the app is run, this appears in logcat:

This is a very strange error to me because the url I submitted is http and not https
