custom recipes for python for android

I have written a python module with linked C code and would like to include it in a kivy project. I wrote a recipe.sh and added it to .buildozer/android/platform/python-for-android/recipes/mypackage Everytime I run buildozer android debug my new folder is removed from the recipes folder. Then buildozer assumes my module is a pure python module and fails to find and add it to a virtualenv.

I worked around this by commenting out a call to git clean in the buildozer code, but I would like a more elegant solution. What is the correct way to add new recipes to python for android?

The problem in the buildozer.spec, it says it clearly if you don't define the path it clones it for you

buildozer.spec

# (str) python-for-android git clone directory (if empty, it will be automatically cloned from github)
#p4a.source_dir =

From python-for-android docs:

Create your own recipes

A recipe is a script that contain the “definition” of a module to compile. The directory layout of a recipe for a is something like:

python-for-android/recipes/<modulename>/recipe.sh
python-for-android/recipes/<modulename>/patches/
python-for-android/recipes/<modulename>/patches/fix-path.patch

When building, all the recipe build must go to:

python-for-android/build/<modulename>/<archiveroot>

For example, if you want to create a recipe for sdl, do:

cd python-for-android/recipes
mkdir sdl
cp recipe.sh.tmpl sdl/recipe.sh
sed -i 's#XXX#sdl#' sdl/recipe.sh

Then, edit the sdl/recipe.sh to adjust other information (version, url) and complete build function.
