Intro To KivyMD Installation - Python Kivy GUI Tutorial #40

In this video I'll introduce you to KivyMd and show you how to install it! KivyMD is a port of Google's Material Design for Kivy. Material Design are a set of design standards that Google suggests for mobile app design, specifically for their Android Operating System.

So using KivyMD makes creating mobile apps much easier and makes them look MUCH nicer!

In this video I'll show you how to download and install KivyMD, and we'll play around with the kitchen sink app that comes with KivyMD. We'll also look at some of the other demo apps as well.

I just discovered Kivy and KivyMD this past weekend and am excited to learn how to build mobile apps with Python, thank you for making these videos!

[danielschwan]

I'm working with Python since quite a time now, but I just started in making graphical userinterfaces, so your tutorials come in very handy. They are well explained and quite understandable

Literally I am super excited after seeing this demo application made from kivy md. Hope you will teach in the same way as you taught kivy . Huge Love and respect from Nepal Jhon .

One of the best series regarding Kivy, just like your series on tkinter. Great videos.

[shahzaibali]

Looks cool. after your Tkinter tutorials this one seems more interesting not gonna lie

[erindeerhart]

For those having trouble finding and installing the KitchenSink demo:
pip install kivymd==0.104.2

If you're also getting an error that Kivy needs to be 2.2.0 or greater, install the latest "cutting-edge" nightly build using the '--pre' argument in the two lines shown on the Kivy install webpage.

Note: you can replace [base] with [base, media] or [full]. I used [full].

Although I installed Python 3.10.9 into the virtual environment, I probably could have installed 3.11+, since the Kivy 2.2.0 nightlies support it. However, there might be more bugs while they're working towards full support.

John, sorry if you deleted my comment and I'm reposting it. I figure YouTube may have removed it because the pip install commands contained links to the kivy website.

[yisusk]

For those who are crazy (like i was before finding it XD) about the demo is available in the play store

[ardatekinalp]

I smöshed the liked button for you, you beautiful genius...

[codewithjajjipro]

[nihalthannegedarapremaratn]

i am sorry for late. very happy birthday....
we hope database activity with kivy....

[adrianburton]

On the installation tutorials I've always had issues with modules not working or modules having import errors in my code editor. The solution for me was to ensure that the workspace noted in the code editor was the directory(folder) which the virtual environment was saved in. In this case that would be kivymd or whatever you put after the mkdir function in the git terminal. After that you need to manually change the python interpreter to the python virtual environment by selecting the interpreter path with your virt env. Just youtube setup virtual environment in visual studio code if still dont understand.

[storageaccountiii]

There is no demo files :( I could not find kitchen sink

[BiologyIsHot]

Any chance you could go into the EventDispatcher class and how to use/inherit it to create reporter classes in kivy?
