Kivy and Python creating a slideshow that Moves when gets clicked - user-interface

Question

I am having trouble with making a picture slideshow that is operated with python and executed with kivy.
I am using asynch but I want to make the slideshow so that I open the photo and then when I click with the right it goes forward, but then if the mouse gets clicked on the left, then it goes to the previous page (picture).
Thanks for the help.

You can remove the comment# from the buttons and move left/right methods if you want but I think the carousel direction feature solves that problem. Mind you, I am a newbie so this is just my way of helping out. I figured I'll help some else since I have gotten a lot of help here. Thanks

def start_slide(self, *args):
if self.on_off == 'Start':
self.on_off = 'Stop'
self.clock = Clock.schedule_interval(self.slide_next, 3) ##move right every 3 seconds
return
if self.on_off == 'Stop':
self.on_off = 'Start'
Clock.unschedule(self.clock)
self.carousel.index = 0
def slide_next(self, *args):
if self.carousel.index == (self.slide_count - 1):
self.carousel.index = 0### This keeps the loops intact
#### if you want to end the slideshow at the last image, use 'Clock.unschedule(self.clock)' instead
return
self.carousel.load_next()
class SlideShowApp(App):
def build(self):
mywidget = MyWidget()
return mywidget
if __name__ == '__main__':
SlideShowApp().run()
Hope this is what you needed
