I want to convert a textinput to float please..
Currently i've this code :
TextInput:
id: latitude1
multiline: False
pos_hint: {"x":0.16, "top":0.5}
input_filter:"float"
.....
Button:
pos_hint: {"x":0.08, "top":0.8}
text: "Modify map"
on_press: mapview1.center_on(longitude1,latitude1)
I have already replaced the parameters mapview1.center_on(longitude1,latitude1)
by mapview1.center_on(46.02,3.02)
in order to test if the button works well, and it works perfectly and the map refresh with the news coords!
On the other hand, when the parameters are like: mapview1.center_on(longitude1,latitude1)
, I get this error:
File "kivy\weakproxy.pyx", line 70, in kivy.weakproxy.WeakProxy.__richcmp__
TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'TextInput' and 'float'.
I don't understand how to convert TextInput directly to Float.
The latitude1
is a reference to the TextInput
Widget
. The actual text will be latitude1.text
. To convert it to a float
, use the float()
function:
float(latitude1.text)
So your on_press
should be something like:
on_press: mapview1.center_on(float(longitude1.text),float(latitude1.text))
