Creating a Galaxy Calculator with tkinter using Pydroid: Part 1

Posted by


In this tutorial, we will be creating a simple calculator application using the tkinter library in Python. We will be utilizing the Pydroid app on our Android device to write and execute the code.

Part 1: Setting up the project

Step 1: Install Pydroid app

First, we need to install the Pydroid app from the Google Play Store on our Android device. Pydroid is a Python IDE for mobile devices that allows you to write, edit, and run Python code on the go.

Step 2: Create a new project

Open the Pydroid app and click on the "Projects" tab. Next, click on the "+" icon to create a new project. Give your project a name, such as "Galaxy Calculator", and click on the "Create" button.

Step 3: Set up the project structure

Inside your project, create a new Python file by clicking on the "+" icon and selecting "Python file" from the options. Name the file "galaxy_calculator.py" and click on the "Create" button.

Step 4: Import necessary libraries

Open the "galaxy_calculator.py" file and import the tkinter library by adding the following line of code at the top of the file:

import tkinter as tk

Step 5: Create the main application window

Next, we will create the main application window for our calculator. Add the following code to create a window with the title "Galaxy Calculator":

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Galaxy Calculator")

Step 6: Display the window

To display the window, we need to run the main event loop. Add the following code at the end of the file to start the event loop:

root.mainloop()

At this point, you should have a basic setup for your Galaxy Calculator application. In the next part of the tutorial, we will add the necessary components to create a functioning calculator interface.
