I have two screens. MainScreen
and Playlist
. MainScreen
has a RecycleView
method added that displays list of items. These items are created from folder names(directories). I want the files inside each folder(directories) to open on the Playlist
Screen depending on which directory name is clicked.
I intend to clear the screen immediately after the user leaves the screen.

<RecycleViewRow>:
orientation: 'vertical'
Button:
text: root.text
#on_press: app.root.message_box(root.text)
on_release:app.root.current = 'Playlist'
<MainScreen>:
RecycleView:
id: rv
viewclass: 'RecycleViewRow'
RecycleBoxLayout:
default_size: None, dp(56)
default_size_hint: 1, None

You can trigger a method from your RecycleViewRow
, like this:
<RecycleViewRow>:
orientation: 'vertical'
Button:
text: root.text
on_release: app.fill_playlist(root.text)
Then, the the fill_playlist()
method. you can fill the PlayList
:
def fill_playlist(self, dir):
self.root.current = 'Playlist' # this also clears the play list
playlist = self.root.get_screen('Playlist')
for sub in os.listdir(dir):
playlist.ids.Box.add_widget(MDRectangleFlatButton(text=sub))
