Kivy Layout

stisa, Aug 11, 2015

So I’ve started messing around with Kivy, and I was stuck trying to understand just how the layout thing works when using .kv code. And I think I finally understood what I was doing wrong. I was basically setting the layout of the small square that is the default widget size in Kivy so, knowing that, I tried creating the base widget as a layout and it worked :D

Example:

Python code:

	from kivy.app import App
	from kivy.uix.gridlayout import GridLayout

	class TestApp(App):
		def build(self):
			root : Root()
			return root

	# define the main widget as a GridLayout or any other layout of your choice		
	class Root(GridLayout):
	    pass

	if __name__ : '__main__':
		TestApp().run()  

Kv code:

	#:kivy 1.8.0
	<Root>:
	# define layout variables
		cols: 2

		Label:
			font_size: 70
			text: "Test"
		Label:
			font_size: 70
			text: "Test"

Result:
