Dear Mr. Sentdex,
Thank you for your nice videos, I have once question related to the on_touch methods, why are we defining them although we are inheriting the Widget class ? Can't we just use them directly without defining them ?

Awesome and really needed bro thanks. But 1 doubt bro, I want to block the all the touch functions temporarily when some content is loading like, I have added an MDSpinner when its fetching some details from database and at that time, I don't want my users to type in the text fields or click the buttons on the screen. So, how can we do that?

Nice tutorial! Struggling to work out if there is a way to print ALL touch input rather than just the touch inputs within the Kivy window. Is this do-able?

Great instruction! I have a question. I want to know the sampling rate of the "pos" in on_touch_move or the pixel resolution that this function can detect. Do you have any idea of that? Thank you!

Great work so far!  I wonder what your workflow is like in making these tutorial series?  I've looked into Kivy before.  It takes a lot of time to learn and build a tutorial.  How do you do it?

hi dex i have a question please what is the difference between spos(.., ..) and pos(.., ..) that i get as a return to on_touch_down/up/move?

[jacobgable]

so is the Widget essentially a container? like the <div> element in HTML?

Hey Sentdex, Is there any way to get the status of android screen?
Is the screen is on or off?

[devonkaahanui]

I'm trying to create a simple function that counts the number of total clicks, but I keep running into errors... Please help me pretty please! :)

Is there any way you can get the mouse position without using the touch (aka if the mouse moves)? I basically just want a mouse listener but can't seem to make it work

[urielmorales]

Off the topic a bit, but I noticed on your shiny new web site at:
that you are using Brython.   Would you be willing to do a video or two on what 
that offers and how you're using it ?
