It used to be work fine when i installed kivy in previous kali linux os but due to some reasons i installed kali again and kivy again but this time i am not able to make it work.

Answer 1

In my case it was an outdated version of kivy. I see you are also running python3. After removing kivy I did the following which solved my problem:

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kivy-team/kivy
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install python3-kivy

Answer 2

pip install git+https://github.com/kivy/kivy.git@master

Its works for me like a charm.
