首先，有两个网址你不得不看：

1. Kivy: Cross-platform Python Framework for NUI
   在官网逛逛，顺便看看最下面的代码，try to run it.

Kivy总体思想是：kv代码管界面，python代码管逻辑。

然后重点来了， 我主要讲三件事：(kv访问Python；Python访问kv；窗口)。

一阶段：

1.Python访问kv

Python可以直接调用kv代码。如：

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.lang import Builder

kv = Builder.load_string('''

Button:

    text: "I was created by kv codes"

''')

class TestApp(App):

    def build(self):

        return kv

TestApp().run()

2.窗口

kv代码中被<>包裹住的是某个class的名字，这个class需在python代码中声明，它们代表同一个class。

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.lang import Builder

from kivy.uix.screenmanager import Screen

Builder.load_string('''

<OneScreen>

    Label:

        text: "My mother screen was created by kv and python codes."

''')

class OneScreen(Screen):

    pass

class TestApp(App):

    def build(self):

        return OneScreen()

TestApp().run()

3. kv访问Python

在.kv文件或kv代码里，root只代表其上层被<>包裹住的类。如：

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.lang import Builder

from kivy.uix.screenmanager import Screen

Builder.load_string('''

<OneScreen>

    Button:

        text: 'Click me'

        on_release: print(root.__class__)

''')

class OneScreen(Screen):

    pass

class TestApp(App):

    def build(self):

        return OneScreen()

TestApp().run()

二阶段：

1. kv访问Python

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.lang import Builder

from kivy.uix.screenmanager import Screen

Builder.load_string('''

<OneScreen>

    BoxLayout:

        Button:

            text: 'Click me'

            on_release: root.do_something()

        Button:

            text: 'Who made this?'

            on_release: print(root.author)

''')

class OneScreen(Screen):

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):

        self.author = 'yingshaoxo'

        super(OneScreen, self).__init__(**kwargs)

    def do_something(self):

        print('2333')

class TestApp(App):

    def build(self):

        return OneScreen()

TestApp().run()

2. Python访问kv

你需要给kv组件一个id，用以标明其唯一性。再使用ids方法调用它。如：

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.lang import Builder

from kivy.uix.screenmanager import Screen

Builder.load_string('''

<OneScreen>

    BoxLayout:

        Button:

            id: one_ask

            text: 'Who made this?'

            on_release: root.do_something()

''')

class OneScreen(Screen):

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):

        self.author = 'yingshaoxo'

        super(OneScreen, self).__init__(**kwargs)

    def do_something(self):

        self.ids['one_ask'].text = self.author

class TestApp(App):

    def build(self):

        return OneScreen()

TestApp().run()

3. 窗口

As far as I see，在做程序的时候，你会遇到很多窗口。所以ScreenManager这时候派上用场了。

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.lang import Builder

from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager

Builder.load_string('''

<ScreenManager>:

    Screen:

        name: 'home'

        Button:

            text: 'Go to another screen'

            on_release: root.current = 'another'

    Screen:

        name: 'another'

        Button:

            text: "Go back home"

            on_release: root.current = 'home'

''')

class ScreenManager(ScreenManager):

    pass

class TestApp(App):

    def build(self):

        return ScreenManager()

TestApp().run()

三阶段：

1+2. 窗口、kv访问Python

In fact, 你可以把ScreenManager看成一个很大的widget。

但如果所有的数据操作(root.function)都在一个 ScreenManager class里做的话显然不科学。

所以我们最好把每个窗口都在Python里声明一个class，这样既可以有程序启动时的总操作，又可以有各个子窗口的分操作。看示例：

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.lang import Builder

from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager, Screen

Builder.load_string('''

<ScreenManager>:

    HomeScreen

    AnotherScreen

<HomeScreen>:

    name: 'home'

    Button:

        text: 'Go to another screen'

        on_release: root.manager.current = 'another'

<AnotherScreen>:

    name: 'another'

    Button:

        text: "Go back home"

        on_release: root.manager.current = 'home'

''')

class ScreenManager(ScreenManager):

    pass

class HomeScreen(Screen):

    pass

class AnotherScreen(Screen):

    pass

class TestApp(App):

    def build(self):

        return ScreenManager()

TestApp().run()

我们可以看到示例不光在kv代码中绑定了两个Screenclass，还引用了一个root.manager。没错，那是从screen class得到screenmanager class的方法。

3. Python访问kv

直接用kv代码预先定义控件(如按钮)的行为有时不能满足我们的需求，于是我们可能需要临时改变按钮的行为：

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.lang import Builder

from kivy.uix.screenmanager import Screen

from time import gmtime, strftime # this equls cv codes #...

Builder.load_string("""

#:import gmtime time.gmtime

#:import strftime time.strftime

<RootWidget>

    BoxLayout:

        orientation: 'vertical'

        Button:

            id: change_itself

            text: 'I can change myself'

            on_release: root.ids['change_itself'].text = strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S", gmtime())

        Button:

            id: change_all

            text: 'I can change our behavior'

            on_release: root.change_all()

""")

class RootWidget(Screen):

    def change_all(self):

        print(self.ids)

        for instance_class in self.ids.values():

            instance_class.text = 'Exit'

            instance_class.bind(on_release=exit)

class TestApp(App):

    def build(self):

        return RootWidget()

if __name__ == '__main__':

    TestApp().run()

四阶段：

1. kv访问Python

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.lang import Builder

from kivy.uix.screenmanager import Screen

Builder.load_string('''

<OneScreen>

    Label:

        text: app.saying

''')

class OneScreen(Screen):

    pass

class TestApp(App):

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):

        self.saying = 'I was read from app instance.'

        super(OneScreen, self).__init__(**kwargs)

    def build(self):

        return OneScreen()

TestApp().run()

五阶段：Show time!
