got a little problem. So Iam trying to create my own widget, and i have succeed, only except for setting its size and position right(to be same as its parrent).
class Story(App):
def build(self):
return MyWidgets().init()
The app has GridLayout as a holder, into which i want to pass the StoryWidget
class MyWidgets(object):
def init(self):
root = GridLayout(cols=2,rows=1)
root.add_widget(StoryWidget())
root.add_widget(Button())
return root
Story Widget goes as this:
class StoryWidget(Widget):
def __init__(self,**kwargs):
super(StoryWidget, self).__init__(**kwargs)
topLayout=BoxLayout(orientation = "vertical")
topLayout.add_widget(Button(text="first"))
topLayout.add_widget(Button(text="second"))
self.add_widget(topLayout)
If I try to get the background color to it, it works fine:
with self.canvas.before:
Color(.9,.9,1)
self.Backgroud = Rectangle(pos=self.pos,size=self.size)
self.bind(pos=self.repaint,size=self.repaint)
self.bind(pos=self.resize,size=self.resize)
def repaint(self,*args):
self.Backgroud.pos = self.pos
self.Backgroud.size = self.size
The whole firs column of root(Gridlayout) gets correctly repainted in white, but the Widget stands on defaut pos(0,0) and default size(100,100). From what i know, its because Widget cant handle these things. Layout should do it automatically somehow. As can be seen, the root widget of StoryWidget is layout. I do not know why it`s not working. I tried to inherit from the Layout instead of Widget, but still nothing. Any advice? Thanks!
Alright, i have figured it out, turns out i forgot to set appropriate attributes. So Iam now using Gridlayout instead of BoxLayout, in which case it needs cols and rows so it should now look like this:
