How to correctly hang an event in Kivy?

Question

I try to make an application on Kivy like this:

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.core.window import Window


class Program(App):
    def build(self):
        Window.clearcolor = (184/255.0, 228/255.0, 107/255.0, 255/255.0)
        Activity = f'''
FloatLayout:
    
    Button:
        text: "Check product!"
        pos: 300, 250
        size_hint: .2, .2
        background_normal: ''
        background_color: 228/255.0, 202/255.0, 31/255.0, 1
        on_press: {self}.test()

        '''
        return Builder.load_string(Activity)
    def test(self):
        return("test is work!")
   
if __name__ in ('__main__', '__android__'):
    Program().run()

But unfortunately, it gives an error:

 SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I need to hang the test method on a button so that when I click on it, it works, please tell me how to do it right? It is necessary to add this method through a line, at least preferably

PS Sorry if my English is sloppy😅

Answer 1

I assume you want to bind your button to test method to print "test is work!". This is how it is done in Kivy.

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.core.window import Window

Activity = f'''
FloatLayout:
    Button:
        text: "Check product!"
        pos: 300, 250
        size_hint: .2, .2
        background_normal: ''
        background_color: 228/255.0, 202/255.0, 31/255.0, 1
        on_press: app.test()

'''

class Program(App):
    def build(self):
        Window.clearcolor = (184/255.0, 228/255.0, 107/255.0, 255/255.0)
        return Builder.load_string(Activity)

    def test(self):
        print("test is work!")

Program().run()
