I've written a very simple script within kivy using selenium.
from kivy.uix.button import Button
from kivy.uix.floatlayout import FloatLayout
from kivy.app import App
from selenium import webdriver
class KivyButton(App):
def update(self,instance,*args):
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://google.com')
def build(self):
self.layout = FloatLayout(size=(300,300))
self.mybtn=Button(text='Enter',on_press=self.update,pos=(500,300),size_hint=(.1,.1))
self.layout.add_widget(self.mybtn)
return self.layout
KivyButton().run()
It's basically just a button that when you click it, takes you to google. I'm using buildozer to convert/run this on my phone. I've set the dependencies as python,kivy, selenium,chromedriver,urllib3. It then pip installs these dependencies. The app will load, but this is the output when I try to run selenium.
python : PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission Denied
From looking online, this error appears to pop up when chromedriver is not configured properly. Using this site: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/getting-started/getting-started---android it states chromedriver should work for android chrome, but in their example they use './chromedriver' so I added that within my program as well driver=webdriver.Chrome('./chromedriver') But this gave me the same error.
There are multiple chromedrivers with different versions, and thus the only thing I can think of is the chromedriver version installed by buildriver is not compatible the Chrome version on my phone? But outside of this, I don't know why I am receiving this error.
