I am trying to create in instance of ProjectScreen dynamic class when add_project_screen is called. I want to create various instances of ProjectScreen, each with a different name, which is obtained from project_name_text_input. Here are my .py and .kv files:

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager, Screen
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.properties import ObjectProperty
from kivy.uix.listview import ListItemButton
from kivy.factory import Factory

class ProjectListButton(ListItemButton):
    pass

class HomeScreen(Screen):
    pass

class ProjectListScreen(Screen):
    project_list = ObjectProperty(None)

class ProjectScreen(Screen):
    pass


class NewProjectScreen(Screen):
    project_name_text_input = ObjectProperty(None)
    project_address_text_input = ObjectProperty(None)
    project_scope_text_input = ObjectProperty(None)


    def add_project_list_item(self,project_name_text_input):
        new_project_name = project_name_text_input.text
        project_list_screen = self.manager.get_screen('project_list_screen')
        project_list_screen.project_list.adapter.data.extend([new_project_name])
        # Reset the ListView
        project_list_screen.project_list._trigger_reset_populate()
        #project_name_text_input.text = ''

    def add_project_screen(self,project_name_text_input, project_address_text_input, project_scope_text_input):
        name = project_name_text_input.text
        s = Factory.ProjectScreen(name=name)
        self.manager.add_widget(s)

class ReportingApp(App):
    def build(self):
        screen_manager = ScreenManager()
        screen_manager.add_widget(HomeScreen(name="home_screen"))
        screen_manager.add_widget(ProjectListScreen(name="project_list_screen"))
        screen_manager.add_widget(NewProjectScreen(name="new_project_screen"))
        return screen_manager

    ReportingApp().run()

 AttributeError

Process finished with exit code 1

As you can see, the app stops at line 38 in the python file, whenever I click the button in the app to call the add_project_screen method. add_project_list_item method seems to work for the listview.

Thank you.

Problem - AttributeError

The cause of the AttributeError was due to typo error, button: in class rule, <ProjectScreen>:

Solution

Replace button: with Button:

Recommendations

kv file

  1. Replace dynamic class, <ProjectScreen@Screen>: with class rule, <ProjectScreen>:
  2. Instantiate a BoxLayout: widget as children of class rule, <ProjectScreen>: because there are Label and Button widgets, plus preventing widget overlapping.

Snippet

<ProjectScreen>:
    BoxLayout:
        orientation: 'vertical'
        Label:
            text: 'hook up project info here'
        Button:
            text: 'Back'

Python code

  1. Remove import statement, from kivy.factory import Factory
  2. Remove s = Factory.ProjectScreen(name=name) from add_project_screen() method
  3. Replace self.manager.add_widget(s) with self.manager.add_widget(ProjectScreen(name=name))

Snippet

def add_project_screen(self,project_name_text_input, project_address_text_input, project_scope_text_input):
    name = project_name_text_input.text
    self.manager.add_widget(ProjectScreen(name=name))

        # Reset the ListView
        project_list_screen.project_list._trigger_reset_populate()
        #project_name_text_input.text = ''

    def add_project_screen(self,project_name_text_input, project_address_text_input, project_scope_text_input):
        name = project_name_text_input.text
        self.manager.add_widget(ProjectScreen(name=name))
