Requires Kivy>=2.1.0 as support for event managers is introduced in that version.

pip install git+https://github.com/pythonic64/hover.git

from kivy_garden.hover import (
    HoverManager,
    HoverBehavior,
    HoverCollideBehavior
)

• HoverManager - an event manager which once registered will dispatch hover events throughout the widget tree.
• HoverBehavior - a mixin class to be used with widgets. Class supports multi-hover and it also provides:
  • hovered boolean property which is True when a hover indicator (e.g. mouse) is hovering over a widget.
  • on_hover_enter, on_hover_update, on_hover_leave events which will dispatch when a hover indicator has entered, hovered over, or left a widget.
• HoverCollideBehavior - a mixin class to be used with a StencilView or its subclasses to filter hover events which are currently grabbed by the widget itself or events which collide with the widget.

See simple_app.py for a basic example on how to register a HoverManager and use a HoverBehavior with a Label widget.

See large_app.py for an example covering more different use cases.
