I am trying to create a checkbox in my float layout area. I am getting the checkbox to generate but every time I click it goes from True to False even if it not on the box. Could someone provide some insight?
My code:
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.uix.checkbox import CheckBox
from kivy.uix.floatlayout import FloatLayout
from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager, Screen, NoTransition
from kivy.uix.textinput import TextInput
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
#######``Windows``#######
class MainScreen(Screen):
pass
class AnotherScreen(Screen):
def add(self, *args):
a = self.ids["a"].text
a = int(a)
self.ids["adds"]
plus = 1 + a
print plus
class ScreenManagement(ScreenManager):
pass
presentation = Builder.load_file("GUI_Style.kv")
class MainApp(App):
def build(self):
return presentation
if __name__ == "__main__":
MainApp().run()
My KV File:
#: import NoTransition kivy.uix.screenmanager.NoTransition
ScreenManagement:

Try placing the CheckBox in a Widget and it works. I mean:
FloatLayout:
Widget:
CheckBox:
pos_hint: {"x":0.2, "y":0.2}
on_release: True
TextInput:
id: a
font_size: 25
password: True
pos_hint: {"x":0.5, "y":0.5}
size_hint: 0.3,0.2
text: "Insert Side A here"
Button:
id: adds
background_color: 0,0,1,1
color: 0,1,0,1
font_size: 25
on_release: root.add()
pos_hint: {"x":0, "y":0}
size_hint: 0.3,0.2
text: "plus"
of course it ruins your layout but it solves the problem you are having.

Im trying to add a MDDropDownMenu in my databaseWindow, but each time I try to access the menu, the app crashes with an error of "'databaseWindow' object has no attribute 'menu'". Im planning to use the dropdown menu as a list of options for the user to choose from so they can run a query. Im new to KivyMD and any assistance would be appreciated.

I want to update MDRectangleFlatIconButton's text. It changes with a new text but when the new text is longer than previous text, then the text fits in two lines.
When i use a normal button, the new text fits in one line with proper adjustment.
but Since there is a Icon in MDRectangleFlatIconButton, when a new text is longer than previous text, the text fits in a two line.
To run the program,
Add a new app name which is longer than "Info" inside "Info" button's popup window, then click "Update Top Bar's name". Then, it updated title and the text of "Info" button at the front main App.
I have tried to change this by adding button's text_size: self.width, valign:"center", haling: "center", or manually adding text_size: cm(10), cm(10).
Also, i tried with on_release: "app.root.ids.bt_information.text_size = self.width, None
but nothing works so far.
I greatly appreciate your help.

I want to write a mobile app with a KivyMD like Bottom Sheet Menu. My problem with KivyMD Buttom Sheet is, when I click the button to open it, takes very long time (depends on the menu length) because the list is generated by calling the function every time the button was pressed. So I want to write my own solution for this.
In my kv file I manually added 20 buttons to see, it's everything work. But i didn't find the way to do it in python file with loop.
Can anyone help me please to add more than 30 buttons to modalview to be scrollable?
Here is my python file:
from kivy.app import App

In order to build the MyPopup filled with MyButtons, you must either define those classes in the python code or use Factory to create the instances. Here is a modified version of your kv to do this:
<MyPopup#ModalView>
auto_dismiss: True
size_hint: 1, 0.5
pos_hint: {'x': 0, 'top': 0.5}
background_color: 0,0,0,0
background_normal: ''
canvas.before:
Color:
rgba: 48/150,84/150,150/150,1
Rectangle:
size: self.size
pos: self.pos
ScrollView:
#do_scroll_x: False
GridLayout:
id: container1
cols: 1
size_hint: None, None
width: root.width
height: self.minimum_height # let the GridLayout set its own height as needeed
pos_hint: {'center_x': .5, 'center_y': .5}
<MyLayout>
orientation: 'vertical'
size: root.width, root.height
Label:
size_hint: 1, 0.9
text: 'main'
font_size: 24
Button:
size_hint: 1, 0.1
text: 'menu'
font_size: 24
# on_release: Factory.MyPopup().open()
on_release: app.open_popup() # call app method to build MyPopup and fill it
<MyButton#Button>
background_color: 0,0,0,0
background_normal: ''
size_hint_y: None
height: 20
canvas.before:
Color:
rgba: (48/255,84/255,150/255,1) if self.state == 'normal' else (43/255,108/255,229/255,1)
Rectangle:
size: self.size
pos: self.pos
Note that the GridLayout height is set to self.minimum_height to allow for any number of MyButton children, and the MyButton height is set to a fixed value (so that GridLayout can calculate the minimum height). Also, the import of Factory is no longer needed in the kv.
The modified python code:
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.factory import Factory
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.core.window import Window
Builder.load_file('mylayout.kv')
Window.size = (350, 700)
class MyLayout(BoxLayout):
pass
class MainApp(App):
def build(self):
return MyLayout()
def open_popup(self, *args):
# create the popup (must use Factory since MyPopup is defined in kv)
self.popup = Factory.MyPopup()
# fill the GridLayout
grid = self.popup.ids.container1
for i in range(60):
grid.add_widget(Factory.MyButton(text=str(i), on_press=self.myButtPress))
# open popup
self.popup.open()
def myButtPress(self, butt):
print(butt.text)
self.popup.dismiss()
MainApp().run()
I am having trouble with MDTextField. It carries on displaying the hint inside the textfield while typing. I have tried setting the background color to hide it but that didn't work. I have looked at a few tutorials and everyone seems to be doing it the same way as me and it just works for other people so i feel i have done something really wrong.
Image of what happens this is my first post so i am not aloud to post images :)
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

By naming your kv file as main.kv, you are taking advantage of the automatic loading of correctly named kv files as described in the documentation. However, you are also loading the same file using Builder.load_file("main.kv"). Loading the same kv file more than once can cause the sort of problems you are seeing. You can fix your problem by simply eliminating the call to Builder.load_file("main.kv"), or removing the entire build() method, or by changing the name of either the kv file or the MainApp class.
I created a GUI based off this question while trying to teach myself how to use jsonstore. I don't have the reputation points to add a comment so I'm asking my question here. I think I have the basic idea down but for some reason I can't save the data to a json file. I get the following error:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'
I've tried following the documentation but I can't see anywhere where it would explain what I'm doing wrong.

Your code has several problems but the main one is that you do not understand how to expose any .kv widget to .py, one of the simplest ways is to use an ObjectProperty as you try to do but that property is not linked to the widget, I prefer to do the creation in the .kv for its simplicity.
On the other hand I recommend you avoid the abuse of try-except since it hides errors, the best thing is to verify.
Another error is that you are overwriting the value of profile in the .json, the idea is to save everything in one.
Considering the above, the solution is:

I found a work around that still allows me to append information into a JSON by using TinyDB. Here is the updated code:
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.storage.jsonstore import JsonStore
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.uix.screenmanager import Screen, ScreenManager
from kivy.core.window import Window
from tinydb import TinyDB, Query
from kivy.uix.listview import ListItemButton
Window.clearcolor = (0.02745098, 0.074509804, 0.121568627, 1)
Window.size = (2000, 900)
db = TinyDB('bcodb.json')
class ProfileListButton(ListItemButton):
pass
class TitleScreen(Screen):
pass
class MainScreen(Screen):
pass
class CreateProfile(Screen):
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
super(CreateProfile, self).__init__(**kwargs)
self.store = JsonStore("bcodb.json")
def save(self):
db.insert({'first': self.first.text, 'middle': self.middle.text, 'last': self.last.text})
def update(self):
db.update({'first': self.first.text, 'middle': self.middle.text, 'last': self.last.text})
class CreatePacket(Screen):
pass
class ScreenManagement(ScreenManager):
pass
presentation = Builder.load_file("customwidget2.kv")
class CustomWidgetApp(App):
def build(self):
return presentation
if __name__ == "__main__":
CustomWidgetApp().run()
It's pretty easy to figure out with a simple database-like program I'm trying to develop. The .kv file is the same.
