Kivy Mapview - Place Button Widgets Ontop Of Mapview Widget

I'm trying to add some widgets to a Kivy mapview like this mapview = self.mapWidget(self.lat, self.lon) touchBarbtn1 = Button(text='Unlock') touchBarbtn1.bind(on_press=lamb

Solution 1:

1. Use Kivy Anchor Layout.
2. If you are going to add more buttons, my suggestion is to use Kivy Drop-Down List.

Example

main.py

from kivy.garden.mapview import MapView
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.anchorlayout import AnchorLayout
from kivy.uix.button import Button
from kivy.properties import NumericProperty


class RootWidget(AnchorLayout):
    lat = NumericProperty(50.6394)
    lon = NumericProperty(3.057)

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super(RootWidget, self).__init__(**kwargs)
        self.anchor_x = 'right'
        self.anchor_y = 'top'
        mapview = MapView(zoom=11, lat=self.lat, lon=self.lon)
        self.add_widget(mapview)
        touchBarbtn1 = Button(text='Unlock', size_hint=(0.1, 0.1))
        touchBarbtn1.bind(on_press=lambda x: self.centerOnUser())
        self.add_widget(touchBarbtn1)

    def centerOnUser(self):
        pass


class MapViewApp(App):
    def build(self):
        return RootWidget()


MapViewApp().run()

Output
