I would like to change a Label-text in Python/Kivy after a swipe event has been detected. Changing the text works basically via the following line
self.Translation.text = "test"
but I have to change the text after detecting a swipe event from another class, in which I call a function to change the label text:
MyWidget.ThisDoesntWork("self_dummy")
In this function the exact same line as above gives me an error.
How can I change the Label-text from class "Swiping_class" calling function "MyWidget.ThisDoesntWork("self_dummy")"?
