well I'm entirely new to kivy, it's a bit complicated but I'm trying to get on
so I'm stuck on something, I'm trying to get a text from a TextInput, but i can't, it just refuse to do it, can anyone crack it?
KV code:
<Signin>:
title:"Telegram Checker"
AnchorLayout:
anchor_x: 'center'
anchor_y: 'center'
BoxLayout:
width : 600
orientation: 'vertical'
size_hint: None, None
Label:
text:"Telegram Sign-In"
TextInput:
id : tel
input_type:'tel'
width:600
multiline: False
hint_text: '+XXXXXXXXXXXXX'
size_hint: None, None
height: 50
AnchorLayout:
anchor_x: 'center'
anchor_y: 'bottom'
BoxLayout:
padding: 20
spacing: 100
width : 600
orientation: 'vertical'
size_hint: None, None
Button:
text: "Next ->"
#size_hint: 0.5,6
height : 100
pos:self.pos
on_release : app.send_code_request()
the function that's not getting the text :
class MyApp(App):
def build(self):
self.title="Telegram Checker"
return screen_manager
def send_code_request(self):
phone = self.root.ids.tel.text
print(phone)
The code at the bottom is runnable and it passes the argument you requested. It shows this being done two ways. I suggest not using the .ids property because you can link the items at the top of the .kv class and assign type hints to the object like this:
tel: TextInput
full code:
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager, Screen
from kivy.uix.textinput import TextInput
from kivy.lang import Builder
Builder.load_string('''
<Signin>:
# match the python object to the kivy id
# python on the left: kivy id on the right
tel: tel
