+Upgrading Buildozer will eventually upgrade also the python-for-android version. That **Android dependencies** will be stored inside the project subdirectory **$HOME/openolyimageshare/buildozer/android/platform/python-for-android**.
+You may want to require a specific python-for-android version by declaring the **p4a.branch** option into the **buildozer.spec** file:
+<file>
+# Use the default version:
+#p4a.branch = master
+# Use a specific p4a version:
+#p4a.branch = v2024.03.12
+# Use the develop version:
+#p4a.branch = develop
+</file>
+Remember to refresh the build environment with the ''buildozer android clean'' command.
 ==== Android SDK version ====
-All the SDKs downloaded will be stored into **$HOME/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk/platforms/** and are available to compile a package for the user. The SDK used to compile a specific package depends upon the **android.api** option you declared into the **buildozer.spec** file.

 ==== Kivy version ====
-FIXME
+Usually you just declare that you need Kivy to compile the project by including it into the **requirements** of **buildozer.spec**:
+<file>
+requirements = python3,kivy,requests,android
+</file>
+You may be version specific with the syntax:
+<file>
+requirements = python3,kivy==2.3.0,requests,android
+</file>
+To inspect what version of Kivy was used in building the package, look into the prokect directory: **.buildozer/android/platform/build-arm64-v8a_armeabi-v7a/packages/kivy/**; you will find a file e.g. **2.3.0.zip**.
