New to Python/Kivy trying to build a test app with an input box, an ok button and a label that should change text when the ok button is clicked. But instead I get 'NameError: global name 'txt1' is not defined'. What am I doing wrong?
# import Kivy
import kivy
import random
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.button import Button
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.uix.label import Label
from kivy.uix.textinput import TextInput
# my app
class MyApp(App):
# layout
def build(self):
layout = BoxLayout(padding=10, orientation='vertical')
btn1 = Button(text="OK")
btn1.bind(on_press=self.buttonClicked)
layout.add_widget(btn1)
lbl1 = Label(text="test")
layout.add_widget(lbl1)
txt1 = TextInput(text='', multiline=False)
layout.add_widget(txt1)
return layout
# button click function
def buttonClicked(self,btn):
lbl1.text = "You wrote " + txt1.text
# run app
if __name__ == "__main__":
MyApp().run()
The TextInput widget provides a box for editable plain text. Unicode, multiline, cursor navigation, selection and clipboard features are supported. The TextInput uses two different coordinate systems: (x, y) - coordinates in pixels, mostly used for rendering on screen.
KivyMD is a collection of Material Design widgets for use with Kivy, a GUI framework for making mobile applications. It is similar to the Kivy framework but provides a more attractive GUI.
Use self.txt1, self.lbl1
etc..
class MyApp(App):
# layout
def build(self):
layout = BoxLayout(padding=10, orientation='vertical')
btn1 = Button(text="OK")
btn1.bind(on_press=self.buttonClicked)
layout.add_widget(btn1)
self.lbl1 = Label(text="test")
layout.add_widget(self.lbl1)
self.txt1 = TextInput(text='', multiline=False)
layout.add_widget(self.txt1)
return layout
# button click function
def buttonClicked(self,btn):
self.lbl1.text = "You wrote " + self.txt1.text
# run app
if __name__ == "__main__":
MyApp().run()
# join all items in a list into 1 big string
Using:
def buttonClicked(self,btn):
lbl1.text = "You wrote " + txt1.text <- only exists in the build method
