Kivy Nested ScreenManager inside BoxLayout - python

Something seen with a different flavor each week, Here we go again with more ScreenManager shenanigans!
Screens won't change unless buttons are part of the screen itself, I wanted a universal navbar along the top and then a "display" under it. Both screens work, the buttons to switch between them don't.
(Bonus points if you can tell me how to make each screen its own KV file and still link with the screenmanager)
anyways: CODE

ScreenManagement:

You __init__() method in the ClassAllScreen class is creating an instance of ScreenManagement. That instance is saved as self.manager, but is not added to your GUI.
In your kv file, the line:
ScreenManagement:
is creating another, different instance of ScreenManagement. This instance of ScreenManagement is the one that is in your GUI.
So anything your do to self.manager in the ClassAllScreen will have no effect on the ScreenManagement that is in your GUI.
The fix is to make sure you are referencing the correct instance of ScreenManagement (and not bother to create any other instances). To do this you can add an ObjectProperty to ClassAllScreen in the kv file, like this:
<ClassAllScreen>:
manager: scr_manager # added ObjectProperty that references the scr_manager id
orientation:'vertical'
BoxLayout:
size_hint_y: None
height: 60
spacing: 5
padding: 5
canvas:
Color:
rgba: .1,.1,.1,1
Rectangle:
pos: self.pos
size: self.size
Button:
text:'Menu'
size_hint_x: None
width: 120
on_release: root.manager.current = 'motd'
Button:
text:'Search'
size_hint_x: None
width: 120
on_release: root.manager.current = 'search'
Button:
text:'Add to DB'
size_hint_x: None
width: 120
on_press: print("Button Working")
ScreenManagement:
id: scr_manager # new id to enable reference to this ScreenManagement instance
And the ClassAllScreen class can then be simplified to:
class ClassAllScreen(BoxLayout):
pass

Just to help out anyone trying to do the same. The fixed code is below

Add widget dynamically from outside class (error)

I´m learning kivy, and it has passed 3 weeks since i face this problem without encounter a solution, so i hope any of u guys could help me, i would appreciate it.
I have a main file:
from app import MyProgramApp
if __name__ == "__main__":
winapp = MyProgramApp()
winapp.run()
from where i start my app. Then i have a directory called "app", inside there is the following "init.py" file.
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.utils import QueryDict, rgba
from kivy.core.window import Window
from .view import MainWindow
Window.minimum_width = 500
Window.minimum_height = 650
Window.maximize()
class MyProgramApp(App):
colors = QueryDict()
colors.primary = rgba('#2D9CDB')
colors.secondary = rgba('#16213E')
colors.succes = rgba('#1FC98E')
colors.warning = rgba('#F2C94C')
colors.danger = rgba('#E85757')

colors.grey_light = rgba('#F5F5F5')
colors.black = rgba('#A1A1A1')
colors.white = rgba('#FFFFFF')
def build(self):
return MainWindow()
Same folder app, i have the following "view.py".
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.uix.behaviors import ToggleButtonBehavior
from kivy.properties import StringProperty
from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager
class MainWindow(BoxLayout):

def on_press_home(self):

super().__init__(**kw)
class NavTab(ToggleButtonBehavior, BoxLayout):
text = StringProperty('')
icon = StringProperty('')
def __init__(self, **kw):

and finally for that folder i have "myprogram.kv"

Then i got another folder called "views" inside i have another folder called "home", inside home we encounter 3 files "init.py", "home.kv", "home.py". the first one "init.py" is the following.

then we got "home.kv".

my_box.add_widget(custom_button)
That i´m trying to do is actually modify "home_box" with is store on ids Home dictionary, i also try with ObjectProperty (but that gives and Attribute Error, since i only could read propertys but doesnt modify it), instance of a new Home class doesnt work... searching for current app in App appear doesnt work since Home is store i think on screenManager...
I need add a button or some widget to "home_box" from outside class "SomePopup". I also drop here a repository on github with the whole code. github_repo
I don't know how to solve my issue, and i try with the resources available here on stack as well other net places... any help would be appreciate.
Just a very complicated path to the widget of interest. In your modify_home_box() method, try replacing:
my_app = App.get_running_app().root
my_box = my_app.ids.home.ids.home_box
with:
my_app = App.get_running_app().root
my_box = my_app.ids.scrn_mngr.ids.home.ids.home_box

Thank you very much in advance!
The error occurred because self.root.ids gets access to widgets located in the root widget of the main class. To access the secondary screen elements, you need to add it to the main class (in your case, in ScreenManager) and set its id. Also, you have a lot of imported excess, so that it is clearly visible, I advise you to use Pycharm or something like that.

How to populate recycleview from input on another 'screen'

good day
what im trying to accomplish is to input text on one screen then have it create a button on another screen within a recycleview where if I keep adding buttons the recycleview keeps getting populated. I would assume that the button1 function would update the rvs.rv.data and that the recycleview would use the it update itself. could you point me in the right direction please?

The problem is that you are populating the data of the app.rvs, but that is created by the line:
rvs = RVScreen()
which creates a new RVScreen instance that is entirely unrelated to the RVScreen that is displayed in your GUI. In order to update the RVScreen in your GUI, you need to get a reference to that RVScreen.
I like to that that through a method in the App, just because it makes the code simpler. So here is a modified version of your code that does it my way:

How to switch screens from a dynamically created button in kivy recycleview

Problem
I have a screen (OrderScreen) that populates with buttons if there is data to be processed. I would like the user to click one of the buttons to be brought to another screen (MenuScreen) to process the data. While my intention is to populate the next screen with data from the button, I am currently just trying to get the ScreenManager to change to the next screen after a button press. I added a pass_data() method to the OrderButton and tried to trigger the screen manager there but self.manager.current and root.manager.current were throwing exceptions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

switch screenmanager inside layout

I'm trying to make a ScreenManager inside a BoxLayout work, so I can have a fixed toolbox below everyScreen the Screen. I managed to show the first screen (thanks to this question), but, when I try to swicth to the other Screen, the app crashes saying that there's no other Screen.
Actually, there really is no other Screen: both prints inside the ScreenManagement's init shows nothing. And I don't know why.
Without the toolbar (only with the ScreeManager(ment) and the necessary tweaks in the code, of course) everything works fine.
I tried to add_widget to the ScreenManagement and the screen_names was populated, but I couldn't switch between the Screens.
What I am missing?
The last part of the error:
screen = self.get_screen(value)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\kivy\uix\screenmanager.py", line 944, in get_screen
raise ScreenManagerException('No Screen with name "%s".' % name)

Windows 7, Python 2.7, Kivy 1.9.1
Here is the ClassApp.py:
import kivy
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager, Screen, NoTransition
from kivy.clock import Clock
#just solving my weak GPU issue
from kivy import Config
Config.set('graphics', 'multisamples', '0')
kivy.require('1.9.1')
class Init(Screen):
pass
class Menu(Screen):
pass
class ScreenManagement(ScreenManager):
def __init__(self,**kwargs):
print('before super: ', self.screen_names)
super(ScreenManagement,self).__init__(**kwargs)
print('after super: ', self.screen_names)
def switch_to_menu(self):
self.current = 'menu'
print('going to menu')
def switch_to_init(self):
self.current = 'init'
print('going to init')
class ClassAllScreen(BoxLayout):
sm = ScreenManagement()
sm.transition = NoTransition()
pass
class ClassApp(App):
def build(self):
self.root = ClassAllScreen()
return self.root
if __name__ == '__main__':
ClassApp().run()
And here the Class.kv:

First you need to add the screens to your screenmanager.
To do that, you can do something like this in your ScreenManager class.
def __init__(self,**kwargs):
super(ScreenManagement,self).__init__(**kwargs)
self.add_widget(Init(name="init"))
self.add_widget(Menu(name="menu"))
Now the two screens will have one manager, which is ScreenManagement
So in your kv code you call the manager like this:
Button:
text:'bottomest: go to menu'
on_press:root.manager.switch_to_menu()
You can also do like this, if you dont want to make methods:
Button:
text:'bottomest: go to menu'
on_press:root.manager.current = 'menu'
Also there is a problem with your code, You add the screenmanager to a boxlayout, and try to return the boxlayout. You cannot do that. You can only show one screen at a a time. So I am guessing you want a third screen here. What you should do is retunr the screen manager in your build method, and only add screens to it.
I wrote an example. I dont know if its something like this you want.
import kivy
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager, Screen
from kivy.lang import Builder
Builder.load_string("""
<Init>:
name: 'init'
BoxLayout:
orientation:'vertical'
Button:
text:'go to menu'
on_press:root.manager.current = "menu"
<Menu>:
name: 'menu'
BoxLayout:
orientation:'vertical'
Button:
text:'go to init'
on_press:root.manager.current = "init"
<ClassAllScreen>:
BoxLayout:
orientation:'vertical'
Button:
text:'go to init'
on_press:root.manager.current = "init"
Button:
text:'go to menu'
on_press:root.manager.current = "menu"
""")
class Init(Screen):
pass
class Menu(Screen):
pass
class ClassAllScreen(Screen):
pass
class ClassApp(App):
def build(self):
sm = ScreenManager()
sm.add_widget(ClassAllScreen(name="main"))
sm.add_widget(Init(name="init"))
sm.add_widget(Menu(name="menu"))
return sm
if __name__ == '__main__':
ClassApp().run()
With the great help of #EL3PHANTEN and this, I fixed my code and I guess I know where was my mistake.
I can't use app.root.sm.current='whateverScreenName' inside kv file. I can't explain why, but I guess it has something with the moment of ScreenManagement's instatiation. As I thought from the begin, the python part is very straightforward.
Again: thanks for your help, #EL3PHANTEN :)
Here is the result:
ScreenManager inside a BoxLayout to have a Toolbar
Here is the working fixed python code:
import kivy
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager, Screen, NoTransition
from kivy.clock import Clock
#just solving my weak GPU issue
from kivy import Config
Config.set('graphics', 'multisamples', '0')
kivy.require('1.9.1')
class ScreenManagement(ScreenManager):
pass
class Init(Screen):
pass
class Menu(Screen):
pass
class ClassAllScreen(BoxLayout):
pass
class ClassApp(App):
def build(self):
self.root = ClassAllScreen()
return self.root
if __name__ == '__main__':
ClassApp().run()
And the Class.kv:
