The goal of this series is to teach you how to use Button, TextInput, and ToggleButton in Kivy.

Part 1: Button In Kivy

Let’s begin with the button in Kivy — something you'll use in almost every project. Here’s what that structure looks like:

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.uix.textinput import Button

class MyKivy(App):

def build(self):

return Button(text="Click me!", size=(200,50),

size_hint=(None,None),

pos_hint={'center_x': 0.5, 'center_y': 0.5}

)

if __name__ == "__main__":

MyKivy().run()

Part 2: TextInput In Kivy

Let’s add a simple TextInput so something shows up on the screen.

We’ll import TextInput from kivy.uix.textinput, and return it in our build() function:

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.uix.textinput import TextInput

class MyKivy(App):

def build(self):

return TextInput(text="Enter your name", size_hint=(None,None), size=(200,50),pos_hint={'center_x': 0.5, 'center_y':0.5})

if __name__ == "__main__":

MyKivy().run()

Part 3: ToggleButton In Kivy

Let’s add a simple ToggleButton so something shows up on the screen.

We’ll import ToggleButton from kivy.uix.togglebutton, and return it in our build() function:

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.uix.togglebutton import ToggleButton

class MyKivy(App):

def build(self):

return ToggleButton(text="Unchecked", size_hint=(None,None), size=(200,50),pos_hint={'center_x': 0.5, 'center_y':0.5}, allow_no_selection=False)

if __name__ == "__main__":

MyKivy().run()
