I've spent the day working with the code from How to access id/widget of different class from a kivy file (.kv)? I've paired it down to the simplest code I could because what I want to do is use Kivy's Clock function to change the text for me instead of clicking the button.
As best as I can understand the code that changes the text should go on Line 38 of the program but all the code I tried stopped executing because it could not access the text to change it. The clock function is working in the code provided.
I've left the button press active but it's the Clock code that I want to change the text. I was wondering if someone knows the solution.
Thanks in advance.

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.clock import Clock
from kivy.properties import ObjectProperty
Builder.load_string("""
<SingleScreen>:
id: single_screen
orientation: 'vertical'
Button:
text: "You Can Change Me By Button Press Here But I Really Want To Be Changed By Kivy's Clock Function"
on_release: root.rooted()
Change_Label:
id: gb
<Change_Label>:
_python_access: ChangeLabel
Label:
id: ChangeLabel
text: "I'm Gonna Change."
""")
class SingleScreen(BoxLayout):
def rooted(self):
self.ids.gb._python_access.text = "I Changed It By Clicking!. But That's Not What I Wanted To Program!"
class Change_Label(BoxLayout):
_python_access = ObjectProperty(None)
class OnlyScreen(App):
def build(self):
Clock.schedule_interval(self.Callback_Clock, 3)
return SingleScreen()
def Callback_Clock(self, dt):
print "Hello, world! I'm the clock working...."
# What code goes here that will change the text via Kivy's clock instead of using the button?
if __name__ == '__main__':
OnlyScreen().run()
Please do the following and refer to my example for details:
Snippet
class OnlyScreenApp(App):
def build(self):
Clock.schedule_interval(self.Callback_Clock, 3)
return SingleScreen()
def Callback_Clock(self, dt):
self.root.ids.gb._python_access.text = "I Changed It By Clock! dt=" + str(dt)
Example
main.py
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.clock import Clock
from kivy.properties import ObjectProperty
class SingleScreen(BoxLayout):
pass
class Change_Label(BoxLayout):
_python_access = ObjectProperty(None)
class TestApp(App):
def build(self):
Clock.schedule_interval(self.Callback_Clock, 3)
return SingleScreen()
def Callback_Clock(self, dt):
self.root.ids.gb._python_access.text = "I Changed It By Clock! dt=" + str(dt)
if __name__ == '__main__':
TestApp().run()
test.kv
#:kivy 1.10.0
<SingleScreen>:
id: single_screen
orientation: 'vertical'
Change_Label:
id: gb
<Change_Label>:
_python_access: ChangeLabel
Label:
id: ChangeLabel
text: "I'm Gonna Change."
Output
Based on ikolim's answer above I wanted to post the solution as one complete python program that relates to the format from which the question was posted. Really appreciate the solution. The complete working (one file) code would be as follows;
import kivy
kivy.require('1.9.1')
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.clock import Clock
from kivy.properties import ObjectProperty
Builder.load_string("""
<SingleScreen>:
id: single_screen
orientation: 'vertical'
Change_Label:
id: gb
<Change_Label>:
_python_access: ChangeLabel
Label:
id: ChangeLabel
text: "I'm Gonna Change."
""")
class SingleScreen(BoxLayout):
pass
class Change_Label(BoxLayout):
_python_access = ObjectProperty(None)
class OneScreen(App):
def build(self):
Clock.schedule_interval(self.Callback_Clock, 3)
return SingleScreen()
def Callback_Clock(self, dt):
self.root.ids.gb._python_access.text = "I Changed It By Clock! dt=" + str(dt)
if __name__ == '__main__':
OneScreen().run()
