How to Create Spinner in Python Kivy

In this Python Kivy article we want to learn about How to Create Spinner in Python Kivy, so Kivy is an open source Python library for creating graphical user interfaces or GUIs that are cross platform and can run on different operating systems such as Windows, macOS and Linux, and spinners allows users to select an item from a list.

Make sure that you have already installed kivy, if you have not installed, you can use pip for the installation.

pip install kivy

1	pip install kivy

After installation, we need to import the necessary modules for creating the spinner. in this example we are using Kivy App class and Kivy Spinner class.

import kivy
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.spinner import Spinner

import kivy

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.uix.spinner import Spinner

Now we need to create a class for our spinner. this class will inherit from the Kivy App class, and it provides a base class for creating Kivy applications. inside this class, we want to create an instance of the Kivy Spinner class, and it is used to create our spinner.

class SpinnerApp(App):
    def build(self):
        spinner = Spinner(text='Select One', values=('Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3'))
        return spinner

class SpinnerApp(App):

def build(self):

spinner = Spinner(text='Select One', values=('Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3'))

return spinner

Now that we have created our SpinnerApp class, we can run the application by adding the following code to our Python file.

if __name__ == '__main__':
    SpinnerApp().run()

1 2	if __name__ == '__main__': SpinnerApp().run()

We can also customize the appearance and behavior of the spinner by setting different attributes of the Spinner class. for example, we can set the size of the spinner by setting size_hint attribute, and we can set the height of the dropdown list by setting the dropdown_height attribute.

class SpinnerApp(App):
    def build(self):
        spinner = Spinner(text='Select One', values=('Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3'), size_hint=(0.3, 0.1), dropdown_height=100)
        return spinner

class SpinnerApp(App):

def build(self):

spinner = Spinner(text='Select One', values=('Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3'), size_hint=(0.3, 0.1), dropdown_height=100)

return spinner

This is the complete code for this article

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.spinner import Spinner

class SpinnerApp(App):
    def build(self):
        spinner = Spinner(text='Select One', values=('Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3'), size_hint=(None, None), size=(200, 50))

        return spinner

if __name__ == '__main__':
    SpinnerApp().run()
