How to add a background image to a button?

[UnhingedWazzak]

Hello World, I am new to kivy.... can anyone tell me how to add a background image to a button without using any external .kv file. Thank you for your help and support.

You can add an image to a button by changing the default image.

see: https://kivy.org/doc/stable/api-kivy.uix.button.html?highlight=button#module-kivy.uix.button

and background_disabled_normal.

Or you can add button behavior to an image, this may be a better fit depending on what you want to do.

There is an example near the top of the page: https://kivy.org/doc/stable/api-kivy.uix.behaviors.button.html?highlight=button#module-kivy.uix.behaviors.button

I'd recommend you embrace KV.  It is very powerful and ultimately much easier.

p.s. You can also use kv without using an external kv file using the builder.load_string function....
