How can I make a hyperlink in kivy? - python-2.7

Question

How can I make a link that opens a web browser in Kivy? I've tried just putting the url in a label, but of course that doesn't work. I'd like it to work on the android app specifically and allow users to click it to open a web browser to that link.

Answer 1

Use webbrowser, it works already on Desktop, and our toolchain for iOS / Android have implemented a backend for it. Ie, use it, it will just works everywhere:
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open("http://kivy.org/")

Answer 2

You'll need to make the text clickable with the ref markup tag (see the markup documentation for details), and then bind it to a function that opens a web browser at the right page. On the desktop you could use the webbrowser module, on android you'll want to call android's normal functions with pyjnius. There's a prewritten example of how to do so here.
This is something that will probably go in the plyer project, which would provide a cross-platform way to open the right web browser on any supported system with a single python interface. It's not added yet though.

Answer 3

Now i make It perfact code for hyper link...you just need to use insance and function here is code :
#import necessary library
import webbrowser
def any_Function(instance):
webbrowser.open('http://www.anywebsite.domain')
class TutorialApp(App):
def build(self):
btn1 = Button(text='Open Link' , size=(200,50), size_hint=(None, None))
btn1.bind(on_press=any_Function)
#Bind function with button
return btn1
if __name__ == '__main__':
TutorialApp().run()

Answer 4

I know this is an old thread, but it took me quite a while to work this out so I figured that maybe someone else down the road might benefit. It's far from perfect but I made a hyperlink widget.
from kivy.uix.label import Label
import webbrowser
"""A kivy widget that implements a hyperlink"""
class Hyperlink(Label):
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
self.target = kwargs.pop('target')
kwargs['markup'] = True
kwargs['color'] = (0,0,1,1)
kwargs['text'] = "[u][ref=link]{}[/ref][/u]".format(kwargs['text'])
kwargs['on_ref_press'] = self.link
super().__init__(**kwargs)
def link(self, *args):
webbrowser.open(self.target)

#import necessary library
from tkinter import Button
import webbrowser
from kivy.uix.button import Button
from kivy.app import App
def any_Function(instance):
webbrowser.open('http://www.anywebsite.domain')
class TutorialApp(App):
def build(self):
btn1 = Button(text='Open Link' , size=(200,50), size_hint=(None, None))
btn1.bind(on_press=any_Function)
#Bind function with button
return btn1
if __name__ == '__main__':
TutorialApp().run()
