from kivy.uix.button import Button

class ImageViewer(App):
	def build(self):
		self.images = ['1.png','2.png','3.png']
		self.index = 0
		self.layout = BoxLayout(orientation='vertical')
		self.img = Image(source=self.images[self.index])
		btn_next = Button(text='Next', on_press=lambda x: self.next_img())
		self.layout.add_widget(self.img)
		self.layout.add_widget(btn_next)
		return self.layout

	def next_img(self):
		self.index = (self.index + 1) % len(self.images)
		self.img.source = self.images[self.index]
