screen manager (AttributeError: 'super' object has no attribute '__getattr__')

Question

I am fairly new to Kivy programming and need to use it for this project. The problem I am having is that I keep getting the following error whenever I try to use a screen manager to change screens.

AttributeError: 'super' object has no attribute ' getattr '

If anybody could explain how to fix the error, but also explain what causes it? Any help is greatly appriciated

Main Code: `

  import kivy
import webbrowser
import MSQLHandler
kivy.require('1.10.0')


from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.uix.button import Label
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
from kivy.uix.listview import ListItemButton
from kivy.properties import ObjectProperty
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager, Screen, CardTransition

class Login(Screen):

    class kivy_screen_manager(ScreenManager):
        pass

    teacher_connect_image = ObjectProperty()

    username_text_input = ObjectProperty()
    password_text_input = ObjectProperty()

    def LoginButton(self):
        MSQLHandler.LoginSystem(self.username_text_input.text, self.password_text_input.text, 0)

    def changeScreen(self,  next_screen):
        self.manager.current = next_screen


class MainKivyFrameApp(App):

    def build(self):
        return Login()

mainFrame = MainKivyFrameApp()
mainFrame.run()

`

The .Kv File `

The error message is accurate:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "kivy\properties.pyx", line 836, in kivy.properties.ObservableDict.__getattr__ (kivy\properties.c:12509)
 KeyError: 'kivy_screen_manager'

Indicates that kivy_screen_manager is not part of ids , the ids are stored inside a dictionary.

Only the children of Login can be accessed by id, and if we see the .kv in summary we have the following and clearly kivy_screen_manager is not under Login.

<Login@Screen>:
    ...
    name: "LoginMain"

    BoxLayout:
        ...
        Label:
            ...
        TextInput:
            ...
            id: teacherId
        Label:
            ...
        TextInput:
            ...
            id: username
        Label:
            ...
        TextInput:
            ...
            id: password
        Button:
            ...

If you want to access the ScreenManager from a screen you must use the manager attribute, in your case it changes:

self.ids.kivy_screen_manager.current = "LogedInScreen" 

to

self.manager.current = "LogedInScreen"

---

Update:

The problem is that to root is Login, and not the ScreenManager , and above the root there is nothing, so the ScreenManager does not exist even if you have declared it.

Assuming that the .kv file is called design.kv the following parts must be modified:

design.kv

....
<Login@Screen>:
    ...
        Button:
            text: "Login"
            on_release: root.changeScreen("LogedInScreen")

...

and load the .kv with Builder:

from kivy.lang import Builder

....

class MainKivyFrameApp(App):
    def build(self):
        root = Builder.load_file("design.kv")
        return root

...
