Binding 'esc' in Kivy with screen management done in the kv file

I want to bind the esc key so i can switch screens on android back button press.
My understanding is that I have done screen management through the kv file and it has caused me trouble getting the online binding examples (that use management done in the py file) to work.
This is what I have:
weather.kv



ScreenManager:
id: screen_manager

SearchScreen:
id: search_screen
name: 'SearchScreen'
manager: screen_manager
ForecastScreen:
id: forecast_screen
name: 'ForecastScreen'
manager: screen_manager
<SearchScreen>:

<ForecastScreen>:


Then in the main.py



class SearchScreen(Screen):
location = StringProperty('No location')
def set_location(self, address):
self.location = str(address)
self.manager.current = "ForecastScreen"


class ForecastScreen(Screen):
#code

sm=Builder.load_file('weather.kv')
class WeatherApp(App):
def build(self):
Window.bind(on_keyboard=self.on_key)
return sm

def on_key(self, window, key, *args):
if key == 27: # the esc key
if self.screen_manager.current_screen.name == "SearchScreen":
return False # exit the app from this page
elif self.screen_manager.current_screen.name == "ForecastScreen":
self.screen_manager.current = "SearchScreen"
return True

if __name__ == "__main__":
WeatherApp().run()


Let me know if you need to see more of my code. Button based screen switching works but the self.screen_manager says that screen_manager is not part of the self object.

  • The screen_manager is not a field of an App, but it is available in that method (sm that you referenced in build).
