So, I wanted to create an app that created tasks/habits in kivy. Basically, there would be a screen that shows you your tasks/habits, and you could click on a button to take you to another screen to create a new task/habit. You would input information about the task/habit in that screen, and click the submit button. The submit button would add the task/habit to the first screen. However, when I run my code, it works the first time. I can go to the second screen, add my habit/code and then go back to the first screen. However, when I click the button on the first screen, it gives me an error.

The error being: kivy.uix.screenmanager.ScreenManagerException: No Screen with name "second".

Here is my code:

CodePudding user response：

Your code:

def submit_button(self):
    self.name = self.ids.the_name.text
    self.time = f'{self.ids.time_spinner_1.text}:{self.ids.time_spinner_2.text}'
    self.date = f'{self.ids.date_spinner_1.text}/{self.ids.date_spinner_2.text}'

changes the name property of the SecondWindow Screen, so trying to change Screen to the second will no longer work. It looks like you are trying to use name for some other purpose. I suggest you use a variable with a different name.
