right sizing cells in a Gridlayout ( SOLVED).....or worked around at least

[j colo]

Hi,

I was facing the problem that I was unable to size the cells of my gridlayout. Tons of space around my text. My issue was really with height.

This was limiting the amount of stuff I was able to show.

Tried many solutions from the manual and forums. I never found ( understood) a combination of size, size_hint, texture_size etc that would actually work. My bad.

Googling I saw  comments on an old github  issue that solved my problems

use  size_hint: (your choice, your choice)  **AND**

        size:self.texture_size

I do not know if this is a workaround or the right solution. The thread in github was challenging this as inflexible...thought it solves my problem.

FYI

actually the example code in scrollview manual solves the problem as well, probably in the right way.

See the line btn=Button(text=str(i), size_hint_y=None, height=40)
