I do not know that much python, so I don't know if this problem is more kivy or python. I want to call the parents' method on a click/press. But I cannot access a root object (AttributeError: 'IssueButton' object has no attribute 'root') nor a global variable that I defined earlier (NameError: name 'global_screen_manager' is not defined)
I am using a ScreenManager to switch Screens and I am using a ListView with ListAdapter to create these buttons that I want to call this method I am talking about. Another funny thing that I do not get is that this very button has several parents above it, like a GridLayout.
How can I define a root for this IssueButton at the bottom of the py-file?
Is there another good way to call the method on-detail_press from IssueScreen?
Is it ok to use a global for a ScreenManager or is there a preferred way to pass a reference?
Thanks in advance!
