How to create a Kivy file (.kv)

Question

So I am working off of this tutorial: https://youtu.be/j9PqNe3J_Cc?t=1m55s

At the time stamp in that link (1:55) the guy goes over to another file he created. This file is a .kv file. When I try to create a new file, there are multiple options, but no kivy file type option. Should I just create a text file, or is there something I am missing?

For the record, I am using PyCharm, just like the guy in the video (also I'm using Mac)

Lastly, the guy's first file is called kivytut.py. Is that simply what he chose to name it, or are there generally accepted names for kivy files that people usually use?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

kv file

In PyCharm, click on File > New > File or right mouse click New > File and enter customwidget.kv as filename.

Python file

You can name the file as kivytut.py . But if it is the main entry point to your Kivy App, then name it as main.py because Buildozer will be looking for a file with the name main.py
