Kivy error: Unable to get a Text provider, abort

So i try this code:

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.label import Label


class FirstKivy(App):

    def build(self):
        return Label(text="Hello Kivy!")

FirstKivy().run()

And got this error:

[INFO ] [Logger ] Record log in C:\Users\raviv.kivy\logs\kivy_19-04-17_45.txt [INFO ] [Kivy

So i found this post and install all that mentioned:

pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.glew 
pip install kivy.deps.gstreamer 
pip install kivy.deps.angle 
pip install –-upgrade kivy

And still got this error

I had this error, I solved it by installing PIL (Pillow) just type

pip install Pillow

I had the exact same problem as yours until I wrapped the class inside an if statement. It goes like this:

class MyApp(App):
    def build(self):
        return Label(text='Hey');

if __name__ == '__main__':
    MyApp().run();

try either

pip install kivy.deps.glew

or

pip install kivy.deps.angle

Remove one to see if the error changes; i'd imagine its angle. I had a similar problem with a grahics card driver.You also don't need gstreamer (right now)
