simplekivy 0.0.4

the idea is inspired by PySimpleGui , to quickly create simple kivy apps

SimpleKivy

pip install simplekivy

Perfect versions:

---

• kivy==2.2.1
• python >= 3.7

simplekivy is built with kivy to write quickly simple codes

you can write kvlang and creat your own classes and widgets as kivy is flexible

the widgets are added only once via simpleKivyObject + [

#kv_widgets

]

and you can build simplekivy way using s.build

Examples to test:

---

from simplekivy import SimpleKivy
s = SimpleKivy(title="test app")

box = s.build([s.Label(text="qf47", pos_hint={"center_y": .8})])
floatL = s.build("""
FloatLayout:
    
    Button:
        text:"test"
        size_hint:.3, .2
        pos_hint: {"center_y": .8}
""")
s + [(
    {s.BoxLayout: box,
    s.BoxLayout(size_hint=(None, None)): [s.Label(text="qfe")],
    floatL: s.Label(text="testo testo"),
    },)
]
#as you know for python dict .. key "objects" should be different objects

from simplekivy import SimpleKivy
s = SimpleKivy(title="test")
dp = s.metrics.dp
s + [
    (# floatlayout <=> ()
        {"size_hint": (1, None)},#<=> add the floatlayout kwargs
        s.Label(text="ffljwfe", pos_hint={"center_x":.5, "center_y":.5}),
        {"height":  dp(200)}, #kwargs as you want will be added 
    ),
    [ #boxlayout <=> []
        {"size_hint": (1, .5)},
        s.Button(text="gdddg"),
        s.Button(text="gdgdd")
    ],
    
 
]

from simplekivy import SimpleKivy

s = SimpleKivy(title="test app")

dp = s.metrics.dp
inp1 = s.TextInput(size_hint=(.5, None), height=dp(50), pos_hint={"center_x":.5})
inp1_button = s.Button(text="click", on_press=lambda x:print(inp1.text),
                    size_hint=(.5, None), height=dp(50),
                    pos_hint={"center_x":.5})

s + [
    (#floatlayout
        {"size_hint":(1, 1)},
        [#boxlayout
            {"orientation":"vertical", "size_hint":(1, None), "height":dp(200),
            "spacing":"60dp","pos_hint":{"center_y":.5}},
            inp1, 
            inp1_button])
]

from simplekivy import SimpleKivy
def on_enter(instance):
    print(instance.text)
    
s = SimpleKivy(title="test app")

ainput = s.TextInput(multiline=False,  size_hint=(1, None),
     height="50dp", pos_hint={"center_x":.5, "center_y":.7})

ainput.bind(on_text_validate=on_enter)

s + [
    [{"orientation":"vertical", "size_hint":(1, .4)},
    s.Label(text="hello world", halign="center"),
    s.Label(text="testo")],
    ({"size_hint":(.4, .6), "pos_hint":{"center_x":.5}},
        ainput
    )
]

you can also add kvlang string directly instead of using s.lang.Builder or kivy.lang.Builder or s.build

from simplekivy import SimpleKivy
s = SimpleKivy(title="test app", make_app=True)

def on_enter(instance):
    print(instance.text)
    
def btn_pressed():
    print(ainput.text)


#add a new method to app
s.myapp.btn_pressed = btn_pressed

KV_BTN = """

Button:
    text: "press me"
    size_hint:.4, .2
    pos_hint: {"center_x": .5, "center_y": .5}
    on_press:app.btn_pressed()
"""
ainput = s.TextInput(hint_text="type anything", multiline=False,  size_hint=(1, None),
     height="50dp", pos_hint={"center_x":.5, "center_y":.7})

ainput.bind(on_text_validate=on_enter)

s + [
    [{"orientation":"vertical", "size_hint":(1, .2)},
    s.Label(text="hello world", halign="center"),
    s.Label(text="testo")],
    ({"size_hint":(.4, .4), "pos_hint":{"center_x":.5}},
        ainput 
    ),
    ({"size_hint": (1, .4)},
        KV_BTN),
]

Hints

---

• list => BoxLayout
• tuple => FloatLayout
• set make_app to False if you do not want to run the kivy App

s = SimpleKivy(make_app=False)

• to reach the main App object do s.myapp
• you can pass to s.build a list, tuple, dict and kivy lang string
• the more you understand kivy, the more you enjoy its flexibility
