Button#

Buttons allow users to take actions, and make choices, with a single tap.

https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD-data/raw/master/gallery/kivymddoc/buttons.png

KivyMD provides the following button classes for use:

MDIconButton#

https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD-data/raw/master/gallery/kivymddoc/md-icon-button.gif
from kivy.lang import Builder

from kivymd.app import MDApp

KV = '''
MDScreen:

    MDIconButton:
        icon: "language-python"
        pos_hint: {"center_x": .5, "center_y": .5}
'''


class Example(MDApp):
    def build(self):
        return Builder.load_string(KV)


Example().run()

The icon parameter must have the name of the icon from kivymd/icon_definitions.py file.

You can also use custom icons:

MDIconButton:
    icon: "data/logo/kivy-icon-256.png"
https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD-data/raw/master/gallery/kivymddoc/md-icon-custom-button.gif

By default, MDIconButton button has a size (dp(48), dp (48)). Use icon_size attribute to resize the button:

MDIconButton:
    icon: "android"
    icon_size: "64sp"
https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD-data/raw/master/gallery/kivymddoc/md-icon-button-user-font-size.gif

By default, the color of MDIconButton (depending on the style of the application) is black or white. You can change the color of MDIconButton as the text color of MDLabel, substituting theme_icon_color for theme_text_color and icon_color for text_color.

MDIconButton:
    icon: "android"
    theme_icon_color: "Custom"
    icon_color: app.theme_cls.primary_color
https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD-data/raw/master/gallery/kivymddoc/md-icon-button-theme-text-color.png

MDFloatingActionButton#

https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD-data/raw/master/gallery/kivymddoc/md-floating-action-button.png

The above parameters for MDIconButton apply to MDFloatingActionButton.

To change MDFloatingActionButton background, use the md_bg_color parameter:

MDFloatingActionButton:
    icon: "android"
    md_bg_color: app.theme_cls.primary_color
https://github.com/HeaTTheatR/KivyMD-data/raw/master/gallery/kivymddoc/md-floating-action-button-md-bg-color.png
