Kivy MD MDTextField

[Sadaka Technology]

Hi everyone, I am having a trouble in kivymd which is when I use MDTextField in kv file , it is working perfectly which means hint_text all are working all are perfect in kv file,

but if I specify them on python file like:

widget = MDTextField(hint_text='dwafaw',font_size=14)

self.add_widget(widget)

then the text_hint will never be shown, same goes for other properties like helper text,

I cannot go to kv file due to functionality issues (lots of complex functions and variables) and I tried to reference a class like

 class text_class(MDTextField)

then apply on kv file then reference it to python file, yet not working! any suggestions, something must be there with kivymd file!!

I don’t know if this will help, but it is something to try.. 

w = MDTextField(font_size=14)

w.hint_text = ‘The hint text’

 

self.add_widget(w)

yes this worked ! thank you alot, but 1 more thing, I set the font_size to be 14, so the textinput size is 14, but hint_text is bigger, any idea of how to adjust hint_text size?

I have not used kivymd. I suggest reading the docs or the source code and see if you can find an attribute that controls the size of the hint_text.
