Usage

from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.factory import Factory

from kivymd.app import MDApp

Builder.load_string('''
<ExampleBanner@Screen>

    MDBanner:
        id: banner
        text: ["One line string text example without actions."]
        # The widget that is under the banner.
        # It will be shifted down to the height of the banner.
        over_widget: screen
        vertical_pad: toolbar.height

    MDToolbar:
        id: toolbar
        title: "Example Banners"
        elevation: 10
        pos_hint: {'top': 1}

    BoxLayout:
        id: screen
        orientation: "vertical"
        size_hint_y: None
        height: Window.height - toolbar.height

        OneLineListItem:
            text: "Banner without actions"
            on_release: banner.show()

        Widget:

Banner type.

By default, the banner is of the type 'one-line':

MDBanner:
    text: ["One line string text example without actions."]

To use a two-line banner, specify the 'two-line' MDBanner.type for the banner and pass the list of two lines to the MDBanner.text parameter:

MDBanner:
    type: "two-line"
    text:
        ["One line string text example without actions.", "This is the second line of the banner message."]
https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD-data/raw/master/gallery/kivymddoc/banner-two-line.png

Similarly, create a three-line banner:

MDBanner:
    type: "three-line"
    text:
        ["One line string text example without actions.", "This is the second line of the banner message." "and this is the third line of the banner message."]
https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD-data/raw/master/gallery/kivymddoc/banner-three-line.png

To add buttons to any type of banner, use the MDBanner.left_action and MDBanner.right_action parameters, which should take a list [‘Button name’, function]:

MDBanner:
    text: ["One line string text example without actions."]
    left_action: ["CANCEL", lambda x: None]

Or two buttons:

MDBanner:
    text: ["One line string text example without actions."]
    left_action: ["CANCEL", lambda x: None]
    right_action: ["CLOSE", lambda x: None]

If you want to use the icon on the left in the banner, add the prefix ‘-icon’ to the banner type:

MDBanner:
    type: "one-line-icon"
    icon: f"{images_path}/kivymd_logo.png"
    text: ["One line string text example without actions."]
