I just subclassed a ui.View object again and did some more stuff to check for changing the frame later with layout. Had to use layout or it wasn’t resizing correctly, or changing some of the attributes to make the stick/texture of the joystick not resize.

I decided to start a github repo for Pythonista and posted it in there.

https://github.com/mcriley821/Pythonista/blob/master/UIJoystick.py

This is a working version without significant leak.

import photos import time import concurrent.futures import objc_util import ui @objc_util.on_main_thread def update(image_view, ui_image): image_view.image = ui_image def loop_photos(): all_photos = photos.get_assets() while True: for p in all_photos: with objc_util.autoreleasepool(): ui_image = p.get_ui_image(size=(300,300)) #image_data = p.get_image_data() update(v['img'], ui_image) time.sleep(.5) time.sleep(5) v = ui.View() v.add_subview(ui.ImageView(name='img')) v.present() with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=1) as executor: executor.submit(loop_photos)

Thanks very much for all the suggestions. I'm grateful for the tip about threading and will try to incorporate it into the rest of the project but the thing that does the lifting here is the autoreleasepool context manager; with just this addition and removing the threading it works just fine.

@FrankenApps no problem, often not easy to search in forum, better to search via google 😃

Thanks everyone,
@JonB You cleared my doubt on @ui.in_background, Now I'm using threading instead of ui.in_background

@yas self is a delegate... It has no bgcolor!

There is not an easy way to change the section header background color. There are some ways using objc_util, but you may want to crawl first before you walk... .

The easiest approach is to keep track of headers on your own, and just create a cell instead of a section header.

@enceladus thanks, I knew I'd seen that somewhere before!

thanks @cvp & @ellie_ff1493.

@cvp thank you for the link

@JonB Thank you very much. callend_editing() method solves my problem perfectly

@struct_engr_ , I think the problem is that for the past 6 months or so, no emails from this forum get actually sent. Neither the password resets or other notifications. @omz, any chance you could take a look?

I found this example useful. Hope it helps.

try v['webview1'].load_url('https://google.com')

or replace webview1 with whatever you named your webview in the designer.

Perhaps you want to be presenting a modal view, not a modal scene?
For instance, present your login view as a popover or sheet, then wait_modal on the view to wait until it is closed.

@lachlantula , no problems. I was just intrested in trying it after @abcabc pointed out the secure attr. I have see things go strange before when you play with the size of the system font. But initially I was using the default size. Oh, well

One nice thing about the sidebar was that it could be narrower than 200 pt, so a 30 or 40 pix wide sidebar worked well for creating custom auxilary shortcut bars in the editor without sacrificing too much width. But so much more can now be done in objc, I am not complaining.

Did you look at ccc's link? He shows how to set content size of the scrollview, and width of the textview. The key is that you are creating a textview wider than the scrollview width, and the scrollview content_width also must be wider than the scrollview width.
