Kivy: How to do threading in kivy while using multi-screen via ScreenManager?
I am trying to run my function in a thread so that GUI doesn't freeze. However, it isn't working. I tried to thread the GUI call in the "main". I also tried to call to thread the function which is taking time for calculation. None of of the methods seems working. What am I doing wrong?
My .py file
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager, Screen
import os
import pathlib
import main
import threading
class FirstWindow(Screen):
def select_cities(self, country):
cities = []
for file in os.listdir(r'WeatherFiles/'+country):
# check the files which are end with specific extension
if file.endswith(".txt"):
y = pathlib.Path(file)
cities.append(y.stem)
self.ids.city_list.values = cities
def selected_city(self, city):
self.ids.output.text = "[b]Please upload the weather file![/b]"
def getdata(self, city,country):
global data_file
data_file = 'WeatherFiles/'+country+'/'+city+'.txt'
self.ids.output.text = "Please Wait..."
x = threading.Thread(target=self.uploaddata(data_file))
x.start()

this sequence is the way to go:
x = threading.Thread(target=self.uploaddata, args=(datafile, ))
x.start()
EDIT: my apologies, I missed the syntax of the call to Thread previously. note the use of args
If the thread starts and ends relatively quickly or deterministically this is fine. You can also start a thread that runs forever and if you have that kind then you should set daemon=True when creating the Thread object and this will cause it to automatically terminate when your main application stops.

You don't want to start the main application as a Thread. I think the best is to call a regular function in the .kv file and then in your Python code you can start a function as a Thread.
It is more straightforward to explicitly declare the filename in the code. I added the line to set the property kv_file directly.
What is going wrong when you start a thread in the function call that is executed from a kivy widget? Maybe the problem isn't related to that technique but some other issue.
