what is wrong?

Your kivy isn't installed/compiled properly. How did you install it? — inclement, Nov 19 '19 at 20:47
once i installed it on my windows with following the steps on the kivy website. — Icaruz, Nov 19 '19 at 20:59
secondly i installed kivy in pycharm with using the project interpreter — Icaruz, Nov 19 '19 at 20:59
@abhilb okay thanks . worked, but now i get [CRITICAL] [App ] Unable to get a Window, abort. — Icaruz, Nov 19 '19 at 21:13
You don't need pil/pillow, that comment is wrong. It sounds like you need to install kivy properly in the pycharm environment, make sure you install all the same things instructed by the kivy website. — inclement, Nov 19 '19 at 21:27
thats right. i had a wrong directory in pycharm for the project — Icaruz, Nov 20 '19 at 09:48

try

pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.glew
pip install kivy.deps.gstreamer
pip install kivy.deps.angle

Enable debug level logging to check detailed report of what is failing.

from kivy.config import Config
Config.set('kivy', 'log_level', 'debug')
Config.write()

didnt worked for me. i use pycharm and it looks like it doesnt chaned anythink at all ;p – Icaruz Nov 19 '19 at 21:21
does it still show Unable to get a Window? – abhilb Nov 19 '19 at 21:23
i have found the solution for the window problem. and it was because of pycharm. it used the python37 - 32 directory to get the installed modules, while pip installs everythink into python37 - 65 (bit) so i changed the directory and now it works :) – Icaruz Nov 19 '19 at 21:36
