KivyMD Time Picker – Python Kivy GUI Tutorial #52

In this video I’ll show you how to use the KivyMD Time Picker for Kivy and Python.

In this video we’ll look at the KivyMD TimePicker that allows you to pull up a clock and pick a time, and then return that time to the screen. We can set a default time as well. We’ll look at all those options in this video.

from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivymd.app import MDApp
from kivymd.uix.picker import MDTimePicker


class MainApp(MDApp):
	def build(self):
		self.theme_cls.theme_style = "Light"
		self.theme_cls.primary_palette = "BlueGray"
		return Builder.load_file('time.kv')

	# Get Time
	def get_time(self, instance, time):
		self.root.ids.time_label.text = str(time)

	# Cancel
	def on_cancel(self, instance, time):
		self.root.ids.time_label.text = "You Clicked Cancel!"


	def show_time_picker(self):
		from datetime import datetime

		# Define default time
		default_time = datetime.strptime("4:20:00", '%H:%M:%S').time()

		time_dialog = MDTimePicker()
		# Set default Time
		time_dialog.set_time(default_time)
		time_dialog.bind(on_cancel=self.on_cancel, time=self.get_time)
		time_dialog.open()
	
MainApp().run()
