'''
Application
===========

The :class:`App` class is the base for creating Kivy applications.
Think of it as your main entry point into the Kivy run loop. In most
cases, you subclass this class and make your own app. You create an
instance of your specific app class and then, when you are ready to
start the application's life cycle, you call your instance's
:meth:`App.run` method.


Creating an Application
-----------------------

Method using build() override
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To initialize your app with a widget tree, override the :meth:`~App.build`
method in your app class and return the widget tree you constructed.

Here's an example of a very simple application that just shows a button:

.. include:: ../../examples/application/app_with_build.py
   :literal:

The file is also available in the examples folder at
:file:`kivy/examples/application/app_with_build.py`.

Here, no widget tree was constructed (or if you will, a tree with only
the root node).


Method using kv file
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can also use the :doc:`api-kivy.lang` for creating applications. The
.kv can contain rules and root widget definitions at the same time. Here
is the same example as the Button one in a kv file.

Contents of 'test.kv':

.. include:: ../../examples/application/test.kv
   :literal:

Contents of 'main.py':

.. include:: ../../examples/application/app_with_kv.py
   :literal:

See :file:`kivy/examples/application/app_with_kv.py`.

The relationship between main.py and test.kv is explained in
:meth:`App.load_kv`.

.. _Application configuration:

Application configuration
-------------------------

Use the configuration file
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your application might need its own configuration file. The
:class:`App` class handles 'ini' files automatically if you add
the section key-value pair to the :meth:`App.build_config` method using the
`config` parameter (an instance of :class:`~kivy.config.ConfigParser`)::

    class TestApp(App):
        def build_config(self, config):
            config.setdefaults('section1', {
                'key1': 'value1',
                'key2': '42'
            })

As soon as you add one section to the config, a file is created on the
disk (see :attr:`~App.get_application_config` for its location) and
named based your class name. "TestApp" will give a config file named
"test.ini" with the content::

    [section1]
    key1 = value1
    key2 = 42

The "test.ini" will be automatically loaded at runtime and you can access the
configuration in your :meth:`App.build` method::

    class TestApp(App):
        def build_config(self, config):
            config.setdefaults('section1', {
                'key1': 'value1',
                'key2': '42'
            })

        def build(self):
            config = self.config
            return Label(text='key1 is %s and key2 is %d' % (
                config.get('section1', 'key1'),
                config.getint('section1', 'key2')))

Create a settings panel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your application can have a settings panel to let your user configure some of
your config tokens. Here is an example done in the KinectViewer example
(available in the examples directory):

    .. image:: images/app-settings.jpg
        :align: center

You can add your own panels of settings by extending
the :meth:`App.build_settings` method.
Check the :class:`~kivy.uix.settings.Settings` about how to create a panel,
because you need a JSON file / data first.

Let's take as an example the previous snippet of TestApp with custom
config. We could create a JSON like this::

    [
        { "type": "title",
          "title": "Test application" },

        { "type": "options",
          "title": "My first key",
          "desc": "Description of my first key",
          "section": "section1",
          "key": "key1",
          "options": ["value1", "value2", "another value"] },

        { "type": "numeric",
          "title": "My second key",
          "desc": "Description of my second key",
          "section": "section1",
          "key": "key2" }
    ]

Then, we can create a panel using this JSON to automatically create all the
options and link them to our :attr:`App.config` ConfigParser instance::

    class TestApp(App):
        # ...
        def build_settings(self, settings):
            jsondata = """... put the json data here ..."""
            settings.add_json_panel('Test application',
                self.config, data=jsondata)

That's all! Now you can press F1 (default keystroke) to toggle the
settings panel or press the "settings" key on your android device. You
can manually call :meth:`App.open_settings` and
:meth:`App.close_settings` if you want to handle this manually. Every
change in the panel is automatically saved in the config file.

You can also use :meth:`App.build_settings` to modify properties of
the settings panel. For instance, the default panel has a sidebar for
switching between json panels whose width defaults to 200dp. If you'd
prefer this to be narrower, you could add::

    settings.interface.menu.width = dp(100)

to your :meth:`build_settings` method.

You might want to know when a config value has been changed by the
user in order to adapt or reload your UI. You can then overload the
:meth:`on_config_change` method::

    class TestApp(App):
        # ...
        def on_config_change(self, config, section, key, value):
            if config is self.config:
                token = (section, key)
                if token == ('section1', 'key1'):
                    print('Our key1 have been changed to', value)
                elif token == ('section1', 'key2'):
                    print('Our key2 have been changed to', value)

The Kivy configuration panel is added by default to the settings
instance. If you don't want this panel, you can declare your Application as
follows::

    class TestApp(App):
        use_kivy_settings = False
        # ...

This only removes the Kivy panel but does not stop the settings instance
from appearing. If you want to prevent the settings instance from appearing
altogether, you can do this::

    class TestApp(App):
        def open_settings(self, *largs):
            pass

.. versionadded:: 1.0.7

Profiling with on_start and on_stop
-----------------------------------

It is often useful to profile python code in order to discover locations to
optimise. The standard library profilers
(http://docs.python.org/2/library/profile.html) provides multiple options for
profiling code. For profiling the entire program, the natural
approaches of using profile as a module or profile's run method does not work
with Kivy. It is however, possible to use :meth:`App.on_start` and
:meth:`App.on_stop` methods::

    import cProfile

    class MyApp(App):
        def on_start(self):
            self.profile = cProfile.Profile()
            self.profile.enable()

        def on_stop(self):
            self.profile.disable()
            self.profile.dump_stats('myapp.profile')

This will create a file called `myapp.profile` when you exit your app.

Customising layout
------------------

You can choose different settings widget layouts by setting
:attr:`App.settings_cls`. By default, this is a
:class:`~kivy.uix.settings.Settings` class which provides the pictured
sidebar layout, but you could set it to any of the other layouts
provided in :mod:`kivy.uix.settings` or create your own. See the
module documentation for :mod:`kivy.uix.settings` for more
information.

You can customise how the settings panel is displayed by
overriding :meth:`App.display_settings` which is called before
displaying the settings panel on the screen. By default, it
simply draws the panel on top of the window, but you could modify it
to (for instance) show the settings in a
:class:`~kivy.uix.popup.Popup` or add it to your app's
:class:`~kivy.uix.screenmanager.ScreenManager` if you are using
one. If you do so, you should also modify :meth:`App.close_settings`
to exit the panel appropriately. For instance, to have the settings
panel appear in a popup you can do::

    def display_settings(self, settings):
        try:
            p = self.settings_popup
        except AttributeError:
            self.settings_popup = Popup(content=settings,
                                        title='Settings',
                                        size_hint=(0.8, 0.8))
            p = self.settings_popup
        if p.content is not settings:
            p.content = settings
        p.open()

    def close_settings(self, *args):
        try:
            p = self.settings_popup
            p.dismiss()
        except AttributeError:
            pass # Settings popup doesn't exist

Finally, if you want to replace the current settings panel widget, you
can remove the internal references to it using
:meth:`App.destroy_settings`. If you have modified
:meth:`App.display_settings`, you should be careful to detect if the
settings panel has been replaced.

Pause mode
----------

.. versionadded:: 1.1.0

On tablets and phones, the user can switch at any moment to another
application. By default, your application will close and the
:meth:`App.on_stop` event will be fired.

If you support Pause mode, when switching to another application, your
application will wait indefinitely until the user
switches back to your application. There is an issue with OpenGL on Android
devices: it is not guaranteed that the OpenGL ES Context will be restored when
your app resumes. The mechanism for restoring all the OpenGL data is not yet
implemented in Kivy.

The currently implemented Pause mechanism is:

    #. Kivy checks every frame if Pause mode is activated by the Operating
       System due to the user switching to another application, a phone
       shutdown or any other reason.
    #. :meth:`App.on_pause` is called:
    #. If False is returned (default case), then :meth:`App.on_stop` is
       called.
    #. Otherwise the application will sleep until the OS resumes our App
    #. When the app is resumed, :meth:`App.on_resume` is called.
    #. If our app memory has been reclaimed by the OS, then nothing will be
       called.

Here is a simple example of how on_pause() should be used::

   class TestApp(App):

      def on_pause(self):
         # Here you can save data if needed
         return True

      def on_resume(self):
         # Here you can check if any data needs replacing (usually nothing)
         pass

.. warning::

    Both `on_pause` and `on_stop` must save important data because after
    `on_pause` is called, `on_resume` may not be called at all.

            defaultpath parameter for desktop OS's (not applicable to iOS
            and Android.)

        Return the filename of your application configuration. Depending
        on the platform, the application file will be stored in
        different locations:

            - on iOS: <appdir>/Documents/.<appname>.ini
            - on Android: /sdcard/.<appname>.ini
            - otherwise: <appdir>/<appname>.ini

        When you are distributing your application on Desktops, please
        note that if the application is meant to be installed
        system-wide, the user might not have write-access to the
        application directory. If you want to store user settings, you
        should overload this method and change the default behavior to
        save the configuration file in the user directory.::

            class TestApp(App):
                def get_application_config(self):
                    return super(TestApp, self).get_application_config(
                        '~/.%(appname)s.ini')

        Some notes:

        - The tilda '~' will be expanded to the user directory.
        - %(appdir)s will be replaced with the application :attr:`directory`
        - %(appname)s will be replaced with the application :attr:`name`
