i am making a form screen in which a user can input data and upload it to database. I want them to be able to add multiple textfields on a button press if they still want to add something. it should be scrollable since the amount of textfields is based on how many the user really wants. i have this code right here but it doesn’t really do what i had in mind.
from kivymd.app import MDApp
from kivy.lang.builder import Builder
from kivy.uix.screenmanager import Screen
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivymd.uix.tab import MDTabsBase
from kivymd.uix.floatlayout import MDFloatLayout
from kivymd.uix.textfield import MDTextField
class TextField(MDTextField):
pass
class Tab(MDFloatLayout, MDTabsBase):
pass
class FormScreen(Screen):
pass
class DemoApp(MDApp):
#function to add text field
def add_textfield(self):
self.help.get_screen('form').ids.box.add_widget(
TextField(hint_text= 'adsf',
))
def upload(self):
name = self.help.get_screen('form').ids.input_1.text
def build(self):
self.help = Builder.load_file('form.kv')
# screen.add_widget(self.help)
return self.help
Here is my kv file:
ScreenManager:
FormScreen:
<FormScreen>
name: 'form'
MDBoxLayout:
orientation: "vertical"
MDToolbar:
# md_bg_color:app.dark2
title: "Upload Data"
type_height: "small"
left_action_items: [["arrow-left", lambda x : app.swtchScreen('collections')]]
right_action_items: [["eraser", lambda x : root.eraser()],["plus", lambda x : app.add_textfield()]]
MDTabs:
id: tabs
background_color: rgba(0,0,0,0)
tab_hint_x: True
Tab:
title: "Passport Data"
MDTextField:
id: input_1
hint_text: "Name"
pos_hint: {"center_x": 0.5, "center_y": 0.95}
size_hint: .75,0.09
color_mode: 'accent'
mode: "rectangle"
#additional textfieldss
MDTextField:
id: box

You can modify the Tab to customize the layout you need to hold all necessary fields as follows,
MDTabs:
id: tabs
background_color: rgba(0,0,0,0)
tab_hint_x: True
Tab:
title: "Passport Data"
MDBoxLayout: # Add main container.
orientation: "vertical"
padding: dp(10)
spacing: dp(5)
MDTextField:
id: input_1
hint_text: "Name"
# pos_hint: {"center_x": 0.5, "center_y": 0.95}
# size_hint: .75,0.09 # "size_hint_y" will be set automatically.
pos_hint: {"center_x": 0.5}
size_hint_x: .75
color_mode: 'accent'
mode: "rectangle"
#additional textfields
ScrollView:
MDBoxLayout: # Add all text fields in this container.
id: box
orientation: "vertical"
adaptive_height: True # Grow vertically.
Alternatively you could’ve inherited Tab from MDBoxLayout,
class Tab(MDBoxLayout, MDTabsBase):
pass
Then the kvlang would be,
MDTabs:
id: tabs
background_color: rgba(0,0,0,0)
tab_hint_x: True
Tab:
title: "Passport Data"
orientation: "vertical"
padding: dp(10)
spacing: dp(5)
MDTextField:
id: input_1
hint_text: "Name"
# pos_hint: {"center_x": 0.5, "center_y": 0.95}
# size_hint: .75,0.09 # "y" will be set automatically.
pos_hint: {"center_x": 0.5}
size_hint_x: .75
color_mode: 'accent'
mode: "rectangle"
#additional textfieldss
ScrollView:
MDBoxLayout: # Add all text field here.
id: box
orientation: "vertical"
adaptive_height: True # Grow vertically.
