I'm creating a simple Database-GUI and want to add two lines to a form. each line is a DataField-Object, and contains a label and a TextInput organised by a horizontal Boxlayout. up to here all fine.
The Form-Widget contains also a BoxLayout (Orientaton: "Vertical") organizing the two DataField-Objects by listing them up under each other, but it doesn't work...
My Question: WHY??? and how can I fix it?
dbgui3.py
from kivy import require
require("2.0.0")
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
from kivy.properties import StringProperty, ObjectProperty
class DataField(Widget):
title = StringProperty()
pass
class Form(Widget):
b = ObjectProperty()
def __init__(self, *rec, **kwargs):
super().__init__()
for df in rec:
self.b.add_widget(DataField(title=df))
class DbGui3(App):
def build(self):
return Form("hello", "world")
if __name__ == '__main__':
DbGui3().run()
dbgui3.kv
<DataField>:
text: txt.text
BoxLayout:
orientation: "horizontal"
size_hint: None, None
size: root.width, 30
canvas:
Color:
rgb: 0.2,0.2,0.2
Rectangle:
size: self.size
Label:
text: root.title
size_hint: None, 1
width: self.texture_size[0]
TextInput:
id:txt
multiline: False
on_text_validate: print("text validated:" + root.text)
<Form>:
b:b
BoxLayout:
id: b
orientation: "vertical"
size_hint: None, None
size: root.width, root.height
canvas:
Color:
rgb: 0.1,0.2,0.3
Rectangle:
size: self.size
The problem is that you are using Widget as a base class for your DataField and Form classes. The Widget class does not take any notice of things like size_hint, pos_hint, and others. It is not intended to be a Layout. I suggest you use BoxLayout as the base for your DataField and some other Layout (perhaps FloatLayout) as the base class for Form. Using this suggestion, your class definitions could be:
class DataField(BoxLayout):
title = StringProperty("example")
class Form(FloatLayout):
pass
Then modifying your kv:
<DataField>:
size_hint: 1, None
height: 30
orientation: "horizontal"
Label:
size_hint: None, None
size: self.texture_size[0]*1.3, root.height
text: root.title
TextInput:
multiline: False
on_text_validate: print(root.title)
<Form>:
BoxLayout:
orientation: "vertical"
size_hint: None, None
size: root.width/2, root.height/2
DataField:
title: "hello"
DataField:
title: "world"
I think this will do what you want.

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_dark = rgba('#C4C4C4')
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):
username = StringProperty("Usuario")
def __init__(self, **kw):
super().__init__(**kw)
def on_press_home(self):
self.ids.scrn_mngr.current = "scrn_home"
class ViewManager(ScreenManager):

super().__init__(**kw)
class NavTab(ToggleButtonBehavior, BoxLayout):
text = StringProperty('')
icon = StringProperty('')
def __init__(self, **kw):
super().__init__(**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.
from .home import Home
then we got "home.kv".

and finally and the problem that i´m facing is whit the following file "home.py"

from kivy.factory import Factory
from kivy.uix.popup import Popup
from kivy.uix.button import Button

def modify_home_box(self):
my_app = App.get_running_app().root
my_box = my_app.ids.home.ids.home_box
custom_button = Button(
text = "something"
)
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

Questions:
How do I get the value from this so that I can pass the value instead of the hardcoded username of abc999
MDTextField:
id: username_input
How do I send to the given screen (user_management here) from
def set_current_user(self,user,sm):
self.current_user = user
# Send over to given screen
# ???? = sm
You can toggle commenting on the two on_release below to see the issue
MDFlatButton(
text="OK",
theme_text_color="Custom",
text_color=self.theme_cls.primary_color,
#on_release=self.set_current_user(user,screen)
on_release=self.dialog_close
You can do what you want by modifying set_current_user() to:
def set_current_user(self, button):
self.current_user = self.dialog.content_cls.ids.username_input.text
self.dialog_close()
self.root.ids.users.add_widget(Label(text=self.current_user))
sm = self.root.ids.screenManager
sm.current = 'user_management'
The above code requires the addition of an id to the UserManagerment in the kv:
UserManagement:
id: users
This just adds a new Label with the name of the user.
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:

Here's an example code to show the problem,
when the ('Press me') button is pressed and the widget resized(white box come within view), the TabbedPanel redraws like a glitch (even though its not).

Add AnchorLayout to be the parent of swidget / BoxLayout and when the animation starts, it won't impact the instantiated TabbedPanel.

I am new to programming with Kivy, I'm trying to develop a program that collects the number of people in a room.
And my difficulty is to pass values between KV file and the main. I need to get the value of the slider which is in KV file and use it in main.py program
How could it? already I tried several ways that were posted on different topics here on the site but could not. Perhaps because as I have no knowledge in the area did not know apply it right.

Preview:
In order to access the values of the slider, add a variable myslider to both of python and kv files like this:
kv:
<ThemeBackground>:
orientation: 'vertical'
myslider: slider
python:
class ThemeBackground(Screen):
myslider = ObjectProperty(None)
Now you can access the value , min or max by:
class myApp(App):
def build(self):
self.load_kv("kivy.3.kv")
tb = ThemeBackground()
print "value =",tb.myslider.value # <---- value here
print "min =",tb.myslider.min # <--- min here
return tb
