kivymd 0.102.1

Set of widgets for Kivy inspired by Google's Material Design

KivyMD v0.102.1 - Alpha

KivyMD is a collection of Material Design compliant widgets for use with Kivy, a framework for cross-platform, touch-enabled graphical applications.

The project's goal is to approximate Google's Material Design spec as close as possible without sacrificing ease of use or application performance.

This library is a fork of the KivyMD project the author of which stopped supporting this project three years ago. We found the strength and brought this project to a new level.

Currently we're in alpha status, so things are changing all the time and we cannot promise any kind of API stability. However it is safe to vendor now and make use of what's currently available.

Join the project! Just fork the project, branch out and submit a pull request when your patch is ready. If any changes are necessary, we'll guide you through the steps that need to be done via PR comments or access to your for may be requested to outright submit them.

If you wish to become a project developer (permission to create branches on the project without forking for easier collaboration), have at least one PR approved and ask for it. If you contribute regularly to the project the role may be offered to you without asking too.

If you want to install development version from master branch, you should specify git HTTPS address:

# Master branch:
python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD.git
# Specific branch:
python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD.git@stable
# Specific tag:
python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD.git@0.100.2
# Specific commit:
python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD.git@f80d9c8b812d54a724db7eda30c4211d0ba764c2

How to use with Buildozer

requirements = kivy==1.11.1, kivymd

This will download latest release version from PyPI. If you want to use master branch, you should write the full git HTTPS address, like this example:

# Master branch:
requirements = kivy==1.11.1, git+https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD.git
# Specific branch:
requirements = kivy==1.11.1, git+https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD.git@master
# Specific tag:
requirements = kivy==1.11.1, git+https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD.git@0.100.2
# Specific commit:
requirements = kivy==1.11.1, git+https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD.git@f80d9c8b812d54a724db7eda30c4211d0ba764c2

Do not forget to remove buildozer directory before building if version was updated (Buildozer doesn't update already downloaded packages).

Building with VM

Packages for Android are built according to the following instructions:

• Download XUbuntu 18.04
• Create a new virtual machine based on the downloaded image of XUbuntu
• Start the XUbuntu virtual machine, download this bash script, add execution permissions and run script:

wget https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD-data/raw/master/install-kivy-buildozer-dependencies.sh
chmod +x install-kivy-buildozer-dependencies.sh

./install-kivy-buildozer-dependencies.sh

• Script will install all the necessary libraries and tools for creating packages for Android
• Done! Now you have a virtual machine for building Kivy application packages!

Or see the instructions here.
