Action Bar

New in version 1.8.0.

The ActionBar widget is like Android’s ActionBar , where items are stacked horizontally.

An ActionBar contains an ActionView with various ContextualActionViews. An ActionView will contain an ActionPrevious having title, app_icon and previous_icon properties. An ActionView will contain subclasses of ActionItems. Some predefined ones inlcude an ActionButton, an ActionToggleButton, an ActionCheck, an ActionSeparator and an ActionGroup.

An ActionGroup is used to display ActionItems in a group. An ActionView will always display an ActionGroup after other ActionItems. An ActionView will contain an ActionOverflow. A ContextualActionView is a subclass of an ActionView.

class kivy.uix.actionbar.ActionButton(**kwargs)

Bases: kivy.uix.button.Button, kivy.uix.actionbar.ActionItem

ActionButton class, see module documentation for more information.

The text color, width and size_hint_x are set manually via the Kv language file. It covers a lot of cases: with/without an icon, with/without a group and takes care of the padding between elements.

You don’t have much control over these properties, so if you want to customize it’s appearance, we suggest you create you own button representation. You can do this by creating a class that subclasses an existing widget and an ActionItem:

class MyOwnActionButton(Button, ActionItem):
    pass

You can then create your own style using the Kv language.
