This manual, "Creating Apps in Kivy" by Dusty Phillips, published by O'Reilly Media in 2014, serves as a comprehensive guide to developing applications using the Kivy framework. It focuses on leveraging Python and the Kv language to build natural user interfaces with multitouch support, targeting platforms such as iOS and Android. The book emphasizes an iterative development approach, covering custom widget design, event handling, dynamic UI updates, and basic animations. It also explores local data storage solutions and gesture implementation for app navigation, providing a solid foundation for creating engaging and functional applications.
This document is designed to assist developers and enthusiasts in mastering Kivy for app creation. It details the use of Kivy's event system, properties, and built-in widgets, alongside the Kv language for efficient UI design. The manual also touches upon deployment tools like Buildozer. The content is presented in English and spans 140 pages, offering practical insights and techniques for building cross-platform applications with a focus on usability and modern interface design principles.
Build mobile apps efficiently with Kivy, the Python-powered graphical toolkit for creating natural user interfaces with elegant multitouch support. With this hands-on guide, you’ll learn step-by-step how to build and deploy a complete Kivy app for iOS and Android devices. If you’re just beginning to work with Python, but are reasonably familiar with its syntax, you’re ready to go.
Each chapter includes exercises, using examples that run on Python 3 and Python 2.7. Learn how Kivy simplifies mobile development with its cross-platform API and domain-specific Kv language, and why this free and open source toolkit is ideal for commercial products.
