# YouTube Downloader App (YTDLD)



Welcome to the YouTube Downloader app! This app allows you to download YouTube videos by simply entering a valid YouTube URL.



## How to Use



1. **Enter YouTube URL**: Launch the app and you'll find a textbox. Enter the URL of the YouTube video you want to download.



2. **Download**: After entering the URL, press the "Download" button to start the download process.



3. **Progress**: You'll see a progress bar indicating the download progress. Once it's completed, you'll find the downloaded video in your device's storage.



4. **Enjoy**: Enjoy your downloaded YouTube video offline!



## Building the App



If you want to build the app yourself or make modifications, follow these steps:



### Prerequisites



1. **Install Buildozer**: Make sure you have Buildozer installed on your development machine. You can install it using pip:

   

   ```bash

    pip install buildozer



**Note for Windows Users**: If you're using a Windows machine, it's recommended to use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to run Buildozer.

2.  **Create a Directory:** Start by creating a new directory (folder) for your project. You can name it whatever you like.



3. **Open the folder using your favorite code editor**



4. **Set Up Environment**: Create a Python virtual environment and activate it:

   

   ```python

    python -m venv venv

    source venv/bin/activate # On Windows, use 'venv\Scripts\activate'



5. **Dependencies**: Install the necessary dependencies for your app, including `kivy`, `kivymd`,`logging` and `pytube`:

      ```python

     pip install kivy kivymd pytube logging

      

### Building the APK



1. **Navigate to the Project Directory:** Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the project directory. You'll do most of your work within this directory.



2. **Initialize the Project Configuration:** Run the following command to create a `buildozer.spec` template file for your project:



    ```bash

    buildozer init

    ```



    This command will interactively prompt you for various project configuration options and generate a `buildozer.spec` file based on your responses.



3. **Edit the `buildozer.spec` File:** Open the `buildozer.spec` file in a text editor. Locate **requirements** line in the file.

   Edit to,

    ```text

    requirements = python3,kivy,kivymd,pillow,pytube,logging

    ```

    making sure the dependencies are installed when the app builds.



5. **Build the APK:** When you're ready to build your Android app, open a terminal or command prompt in the project directory and run the following command:



    ```bash

    buildozer -v android debug

    ```



    This command tells Buildozer to compile your app into an APK, deploy it to a connected device or emulator, and run it. The resulting APK will be placed in the `bin` directory of your project.



6. **Transfer and Install the APK:** Transfer the generated APK file to your Android device (e.g., via USB, email, cloud storage) and install it on your device.



7. **Run Your App:** After installation, you can run your Android app on your device just like any other app.
