You can run Kivy applications on Android, on (more or less) any device with OpenGL ES 2.0 (Android 2.2 minimum) . This is standard on modern devices; Google reports the requirement is met by 99.9% of devices.

Mostly depends on what programming language you know and comfortable with mate. Kivy is based on python while Android studio is mainly Java with recent C++ support. For a beginner, it’d be better to go with kivy since python is relatively easier than Java and it’s easier to figure out and build.

You can definitely develop an Android app using Python . And this thing is not only limited to python, you can in fact develop Android applications in many more languages other than Java. Yes, in point of fact, Python on android is a lot easier than Java and much better when it comes to complexity.

Kivy is a great tool for developing Android Apps . The best advantage of using kivy is that it is cross platform and the same project can be used to publish apps on iOS , Android , windows , OS x… However , it has some performance related disadvantages(as do most cross-platform tools like unity , cocos etc).
