Python Kivy Creating ToggleButton

This is our tenth article in Python Kivy, in this article we are going to learn Creating ToggleButton in Kivy, the ToggleButton widget acts like a checkbox. When you touch or click it, the state toggles between ‘normal’ and ‘down’ (as opposed to a Button that is only ‘down’ as long as it is pressed). toggle buttons can also be grouped to make radio buttons – only one button in a group can be in a ‘down’ state. the group name can be a string or any other hashable Python object.

OK so first of all create a python file like this , and add these codes in that file. basically at the top we have created a class that extends from GridLayout, because we are going to add our toggle button in the grid layout. after that we have created our main class that extends from the App class, and we return our MyToggleButton class in their.

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.gridlayout import GridLayout




class MyToggleButton(GridLayout):
    pass



class ToggleWindow(App):
    def build(self):

        return MyToggleButton()





if __name__ == "__main__":
    window = ToggleWindow()
    window.run()

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.uix.gridlayout import GridLayout

class MyToggleButton(GridLayout):

pass

class ToggleWindow(App):

def build(self):

return MyToggleButton()

if __name__ == "__main__":

window = ToggleWindow()

window.run()

Now this is our .kv file, and i have name the file togglewindow.kv, make sure that this name should be similar to the main class name, in my case it is ToggleWindow class.
