Good evening. I'm learning kivy and trying to make something like "microsoft to do". But I have a problem. Now I'm doing an adding task function. The main idea of it:
And it works, but it takes shows me tasks after new programm launch. For example: I add the task and the "MainMenuScreen" doesn't show me anything. But when I restart my programm, everything are in ScrollView. If you have any ideas how it can be fixed, please tell me, I wold really apreciate it. Thank you for advance.

In addTask you should get access to main screen
main_screen = ToDoListApp.get_running_app().root.get_screen('main_menu_screen')
and then you can add task to list
main_screen.list_view.add_widget(OneLineListItem(text=task_text, on_press=main_screen.scr))
def addTask(self):
task_text = str(self.taskToTxt.text)
sv = open('tasks.txt', 'a', encoding='utf-8')
sv.writelines(str(task_text) + '\n')
sv.close()
main_screen = ToDoListApp.get_running_app().root.get_screen('main_menu_screen')
main_screen.list_view.add_widget(OneLineListItem(text=task_text, on_press=main_screen.scr))
ToDoListApp.get_running_app().root.current = "main_menu_screen"
BTW:
ScreenManager is a parent for every Screen so you could write shorter with self.parent.
Or you could use self.manager
main_screen = self.parent.get_screen('main_menu_screen')
#main_screen = self.manager.get_screen('main_menu_screen')
# ... code ...
self.parent.current = "main_menu_screen"
#self.manager.current = "main_menu_screen"
In MainMenuScreen you could also create function to add single task
class MainMenuScreen(Screen):
def add_task(self, text):
self.list_view.add_widget(OneLineListItem(text=text, on_press=self.scr))
and then you could write it simpler in addTask
main_screen = self.parent.get_screen('main_menu_screen')
main_screen.add_task(task_text)
and in taskRead you could reduce for-loop
for text in arr:
self.add_task(text)
