How to create an android app from a python-flask web app created on the desktop?
I've created a simple app, rather a basic "HelloWorld" app, just for sake testing the web app and for converting it into an Android app. This is the following code:
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def hello():
return 'Hello World'
if __name__=='__main__':
app.run()

You can use flask as the application backend. Flask doesn't have anything with python mobile app development.

You can use Kivy. From main page you can read:
Kivy - Open source Python library for rapid development of applications
that make use of innovative user interfaces, such as multi-touch apps.
Kivy runs on Linux, Windows, OS X, Android, iOS, and Raspberry Pi. You can run the same code on all supported platforms.

Thanks for the answer. Will the app run with the same settings as done on flask like: "set FLASK_APP=MyApp" and then "flask run" and on the URL "127.0.0.1:5000/" ?

I'm getting such output on the terminal, and the app works on "127.0.0.1:5000/" gyazo.com/a5dc31a4dd6df107e179a48c279b39bd

Sorry, but I just heard about kivy. I didn't use it before, but in your case, if you want to build Android app, you can always make a web view app, to just 'grab', so to speak, web page and serve it on android. Something like iframe tag does in HTML. But you can learn more about Kivy, since it can export your application written in python, to other platforms, among them android of course.
