This is the main.py
from kivy.app import App
class WeatherApp(App):
pass
if __name__ == '__main__':
WeatherApp().run()
weather.kv is:
AddLocationForm:
<AddLocationForm@BoxLayout>:
orientation: 'vertical'
BoxLayout:
TextInput:
Button:
text: "Search"
Button:
text: "Current Location"
ListView:
item_strings: ["Palo Alto, MX", "Palo Alto, US"]
It doesn't seem to recognize listview. I have seen other use listview with "from kivy.uix.listview import ListView" but that doesn't work either, i do not know why.
kivy.factory.FactoryException: Unknown class
Kivy ListView » Deprecated
ListView is no longer defined in the recently released stable Kivy version 1.11.0.
Kivy RecycleView » MVC (Model-View-Controller)
The view is generatad by processing the data, essentially a list
of dicts, and uses these dicts to generate instances of the
viewclass as required. Its design is based on the MVC
(Model-view-controller) pattern.
- Model: The model is formed by data you pass in via a list of dicts.
- View: The View is split across layout and views and implemented using adapters.
- Controller: The controller determines the logical interaction and is implemented by RecycleViewBehavior.
Solution
To create a RecycleView of selectable item, implement the following classes as part of the viewclass. The item is usually a widget e.g. Label, Button, or a group/row of widgets in a layout (BoxLayout or GridLayout).
viewclass
- Selectabel recycle layout class, e.g.
SelectableRecycleBoxLayout()
, or SelectableRecycleGridLayout()
- Selectable widget class, e.g.
SelectableLabel()
, SelectableButton()
, or SelectableRow()
data
- Creates a list of dicts for data
Example
The following example illustrates the equivalence of a ListView by using RecycleView. The viewclass is a selectable RecycleBoxLayout of Label widget. The app is using OpenWeatherMap's API to retrieve a sample weather data of London, GB (Great Britain).
Note:
To make calls to OpenWeatherMap using the real API point, you need an API key (APPID).

Output
I solve this with:
