Uses a "design language" (Kv Design Language) to separate code from layout:
#:kivy 1.0
<Controller>:
label_wid: my_custom_label
BoxLayout:
orientation: 'vertical'
padding: 20
Button:
text: 'My controller info is: ' + root.info
on_press: root.do_action()
Label:
id: my_custom_label
text: 'My label before button press'
... matched up with code...
import kivy
kivy.require('1.0.5')
from kivy.uix.floatlayout import FloatLayout
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.properties import ObjectProperty, StringProperty
class Controller(FloatLayout):
'''Create a controller that receives a custom widget from the kv lang file.
Add an action to be called from the kv lang file.
'''
label_wid = ObjectProperty()
info = StringProperty()
def do_action(self):
self.label_wid.text = 'My label after button press'
self.info = 'New info text'
class ControllerApp(App):
def build(self):
return Controller(info='Hello world')
if __name__ == '__main__':
ControllerApp().run()
