Application from a .kv in a Template Directory¶
This example shows how you can change the directory for the .kv file. You should see “Hello from template1/test.ky” as a button.
As kivy instantiates the TestApp subclass of App, the variable kv_directory is set. Kivy then implicitly searches for a .kv file matching the name of the subclass in that directory, finding the file template1/test.kv. That file contains the root widget.
