You can install Qpython and then use kivvy to run graphics on it.Kivvy is smart and wonderful library

Yes. Use Pyroid 3 and you can run examples of; install; and import; not just Tkinter but also Kivy and PyQt5. An initial problem I had with Tkinter was that I needed to add root.attributes("fullscreen", False) to my script because the windows appeared in fullscreen mode and I could not close the window because it had no close button. One way to close the window without doing a restart is to close the Pydroid 3 window in a Recent Apps list and start Pydroid 3 again. I initially had a problem with PyQt5 and Pydroid 3, maybe because I was using Android v. 4, but I upgraded to Android v.6, purchased Pydroid 3 and the PyQt5 example looks very good. I originally began with qPython and Kivy but qPython made changes incompatible with Kivy and then made more changes incompatible with Android v.4 etc. so I changed to Pydroid 3.
