Something like „while view.is_open“ possible?

Hello,
I have a background task which looks for an event, but this should only happen while one view is open.
Is there a way to determine if a certain view is closed?
-
you could setup a custom view and overwrite the will_close method, maybe you also like to know when the view is fully loaded...
I have copied the appropiate code from the docs http://omz-software.com/pythonista/docs/ios/ui.html for you
import ui class MyView (ui.View): def did_load(self): # This will be called when a view has been fully loaded from a UI file. pass def will_close(self): # This will be called when a presented view is about to be dismissed. # You might want to save data here. pass

For background threads, check your view.on_screen in your thread's callback.

@JonB thanks, that’s what I was searching for.

By the way, if you are just trying to pause something until the view closes, you would use wait_modal instead.
