External button code to get carousel image attribute

Question

I have this code that populates my Carousel with images from the path:

class EzLaunchScreen(Screen): 
 def __init__(self, **kwargs):
 super().__init__(**kwargs)
 img_path = ('D:\\Steven\Desktop\\Python App\\Images\\Carousel\\')
 # Funtion get images int carousel...
 layout = FloatLayout()
 self.background_image = Image(source='Images\launchScreen.png')
 carousel_widget = Carousel(direction ='right')
 for img_file in os.listdir(img_path):
 if img_file.endswith(('.png', '.jpg', '.jpeg')):
 img = Image(source=os.path.join(img_path, img_file))
 print(f"Adding image: {img_file}")
 carousel_widget.add_widget(img) 
 layout.add_widget(self.background_image) 
 layout.add_widget(carousel_widget)
 self.add_widget(layout)

And in string snippet I have the following

Code = '''
<EzLaunchScreen>: 
 brand_text: Brand_label 
 val_text: ToT_label
 slide_text: slider_label
 name: 'EzLaunch' 
 
 BoxLayout: 
 Button:
 background_color: 0, 0, 0, 0
 size_hint: .25, .070 
 on_press: app.swipe_me() 
 pos_hint: {'center_x': 0.10, 'center_y': .975} 
 # This is the carousel library of brands...
 Carousel: 
 id: carousel_widget 
 direction: 'right'
 on_slide: root.swipe_me()
'''

I want a function that gives me the image name when I swipe the carousel... This is what I've tried but does not work:

def swipe_me(self, carousel_widget_instance, value):
 current_image = carousel_widget_instance.slides[carousel_widget_instance.index]
 image_name = current_image.image_name # Access the stored name
 print(f"Current image name: {image_name}")

• Steven Gerber: this solves... carousel_widget.bind(_index=self.swipe_me) def swipe_me(self, instance, value): current_image = instance.slides[int(value)] image_name = current_image.source.split('\\')[-1] image_name = image_name.split('.')[0] self.brand_text.text = image_name.upper() print(f"Image Name: {image_name.upper()}")

Answer 1

According to the OP, this solved the problem:

carousel_widget.bind(_index=self.swipe_me)
def swipe_me(self, instance, value):
 current_image = instance.slides[int(value)] 
 image_name = current_image.source.split('\\')[-1]
 image_name = image_name.split('.')[0]
 self.brand_text.text = image_name.upper()
 print(f"Image Name: {image_name.upper()}")
