i feel bind should be better documentated:

http://kivy.org/docs/api-kivy.event.html?highlight=bind#kivy.event.EventDispatcher.bind

Lacks documentation how to use it in special situation.

http://kivy.org/docs/api-kivy.uix.slider.html?highlight=slider#

lets say i want to bind a value to the slider here:

sl.bind(value=snfcn)

nowhere in the documentation i can find the syntax how to actually use it.
But everyone who want to use a slider will want to bind a value to it.

It would be great if you could update PyCharm_kv_completion.jar to the latest v1.9.1 of Kivy :)
and even more awesome would be to update this page as well:
https://github.com/kivy/kivy/wiki/Setting-Up-Kivy-with-various-popular-IDE's
Because >=v1.9.1 doesn't use a kivy.bat anymore.

Thanks if you feel like doing it!

Kivy 2.0.0 already updated
Hope to keep updated
This is really useful.

Would be nice to have a page on the wiki describing how to:

1. Generic guide on setting up IDE's to use the Kivy interpreter.
2. List of more commonly used IDE's with either
   a. specific help on setup
   b. links to guides giving help of setup

I want to be happy again, quick fix pliiz :((

In Kivy.utils, there is an interpolate function. The "step" parameter seems meaningless and not useful? Also add a concrete example for using in animations.

Hei, i found this:

http://kivy.org/docs/api-kivy.uix.scatter.html#kivy.uix.scatter.Scatter.apply_transform

Parameters :
trans: Matrix.
Transformation matix to be applied to the scatter widget.

anchor: tuple, defaults to (0, 0).
The point to use as the origin of the transformation (uses local widget space).

post_multiply: bool, defaults to False.
If True, the transform matrix is post multiplied (as if applied before the current transform).

Usage example:

from kivy.graphics.transformation import Matrix
mat = Matrix().scale(3, 3, 3)
scatter_instance.apply_transform(mat)

It would be good to add more informations about
trans: Matrix.
Transformation matix to be applied to the scatter widget.

Where to look for what transformations can be used and what syntax they have.

Either give layout a background property or point at the layout page how to use the rectangle workaround to use rectangle with source (assuming people dont know normally you can do this)

I prefer to give it just a background property this should not be that hard.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12755967/python/stencils_are_weird.zip

Zeddy no matter what I set the colour to, the result becomes exactly the same
Zeddy but if you remove that first recctangle, the visible part of the stencil is only that circle
Zeddy The rules for how stencils work seem confusing to me
Zeddy It would be much more convenient to be able to specify a depth between 0 and 255 to draw
Zeddy and then your next shape is drawn with that depth
Zeddy depth is the wrong word but you hopefully know what I mean
Zeddy instead there seems to be this complete guesswork where some shapes sometimes draw black, others draw white, and others again alternate based on entirely arbitrary rules

Point out for what it is (as example you cannot draw an image on a layout)

Hello zen-code,
sorry for waiting so long.

I wanted 2 examples:
One is how to make an isometric or non isometric grid with kivi to build stuff on it.
One example is Simcity2000.
What i have in mind i a clone of the old outpost game which looks like this:
http://www.ibiblio.org/GameBytes/issue18/flooks/outpost2.gif

The other example is this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rnet.robominer how to make this with kivy?

https://gist.github.com/rainbowdesign/8872759

Hope its not my fault in the code.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/kivy-users/-xcp3ovWzR8

All other image file types work but GIFs, even kivy.Loader.loading_image causes the app to crash when a gif file is used (ie. "image-loading.gif")

That wasn't really a problem until I noticed pil cannot process/read all gif files. I have tried os.environ['KIVY_IMAGE'] = 'sdl2, gif' before importing kivy but I get a unknown <gif> type, no loader found error.

Also sudo apt-get install libgif-dev didn't really help.
Buildozer requirements= Pillow, openssl, requests, urllib3, certifi

Any help will be appreciated, thank you!

Code ex:

AsyncImage:
    source: "giphy_s.gif"
    on_release: root.stop_gif()

Hei, i like to have an idea on how to move a figure or more figures around on a map.

Also i have looked you said you did explain the transformation thing on the scatter. I dont see where or how its explained :(

When using "PyCharm KV completion jar", ListView auto completes as Listview.

raising an issue with buildozer itself.

In case of a bug report, please add a full log with log_level = 2

remedies i've tried include: - buildozer android clean - deleting .buildozer folder - reinstalling API 27 builds tools, API 28 build tools are the higest though! - reinstalling open jdk 8

It was pointed out that the animation for the StackLayout had misleading button captions. Suggested we removed them and replaced with multiple images.

"Packaging your application into an APK¶

This section describes how to download and use python-for-android directly.

You’ll need:

A linux computer or virtual machine"

There is a virtual machine in the download section.
So i suggest to make a short manual about how to use the virtual machine and then link the text "virtual machine" to it.

The present docs are pretty skimpy on how to work with the Kivy XCode project. Expand the docs here to include some more information.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/kivy-users/TgZi_jLJmBo

On Linux, some errors are pumped to the console when the user does not have permission to certain devices. Rather trap and log them.

I would love to see a way to make simple operations inside the bind and directly call functions without working with partial.

mplus.bind(on_press=(dmmodp=dmmodp +1))

Instead of using a seperate function.

if there is no way to improve it describe how to use bind and partial in the description, maybe here:
http://kivy.org/docs/api-kivy.uix.button.html

i hope you understand it i cannot focus well right now.

The download link is invalid.

The docs for graphics/stencil_instructions.pyx seems very unclear when in comes to StencilUnUse. Check and submit PR for changes.

http://kivy.org/docs/api-kivy.uix.scatter.html#kivy.uix.scatter.Scatter.transform

There is no description at all on how to use a transform matrix

It would be nice if someone could update/produce the jar on their side, could the source files be provided in the repository?

I use this to ask questions here.
Right now my question would be:
How do i reopen something?
Idont see any button or anything.

I just installed a fresh VM 0.5.

I cannot compile with the above error.

There is apparently a config issue with sdkmanager. I have not been able to figure out form my cli session how to change this.

Sorry whats the VM password?

Could need some information what it actually is compared to image

Not an issue, just a heads up.
I uploaded a newer version (updated, a little restructured and with kivyMD support) of your PyCharm_kv_completion.jar here.

Thank you for your initial work at this, and many other kivy things (BTW just got the new VM and its great!)

hi, what's the password of root user in KivyCompleteVM?

kivy@kivy-complete:~$ sudo adduser newuser vboxusers
[sudo] password for kivy: 

how to run the sudo command?
thanks
