Change Your Kivy App Title Dynamically with a Button Click
Creating a dynamic user interface is one of the key aspects of modern app development. If you're working with Kivy and want to enhance the user experience by allowing users to change the app's title at runtime, you’ve come to the right place! In this guide, we’ll explore how you can update the title of a Kivy app using a button click within a popup window.
The Challenge
Imagine you have a Kivy app titled "My House", but you want users to be able to change it to something else without restarting the application. That’s exactly what you want to achieve. Your current approach involves saving the new title to a file and restarting the app, which isn't efficient. So, let's tackle this problem head-on and figure out how to do it seamlessly!
Step-by-Step Solution
1. Update Your Kivy Layout (KV File)
Firstly, we need to make sure our KV file is structured correctly. We want to include a MDTextField where users can input the new title and a button to apply the change. Here’s what your new_window_popup.kv should look like:

2. Implementing the Logic in Python
Next, you need to write the logic to handle the title update in your Python class. When the button is clicked, we'll grab the text from the MDTextField and set the app's title accordingly. Here's how this would look in your main application file:

3. Summary of Changes
KV Changes: We amended the Label to display the current title, and we set the MDTextField to be pre-filled with the app's title. The button now triggers the updateName method.
Python Logic: In the updateName method, we use MDApp.get_running_app() to obtain the current instance of the app and modify its title property directly.
Conclusion
With just a few lines of code and some modifications to your Kivy app, you can now allow users to dynamically change the title of your application without restarting it. This is a simple yet powerful way to enhance user interactivity and engagement.
Feel free to try this code on your Kivy project and see how your users respond to this new feature!
Happy coding!
