How do I (or how can I) add a separator line in the ui editor?
-
Using the ui editor, is there a way to add a separator line such as you see on many settings pages in iOS (including, I believe, Pythonista's own settings page) ? I am creating a custom view which contains a number of settings with check boxes and toggle switches and other controls. I would like to add a separator line between various settings to break the ui into meaningful groups. As a hack I am using a label whose text attribute is a continuous underline character.

As far as I know Pythoniastandoes not expose a specific control (or View in Pyhthonistas terms) for that. There is also nothing like 4sided borders so that you could draw a (0,0,0,1) border. I did it recently by just adding an ui.View with thei height of 1 in the places I did need a border.

have you looked at the dialogs module? The form_dialog can make settings type ui's.
from dialogs import * dead={'type':'switch','title':'dead'} resting={'type':'switch','title':'resting'} stunned={'type':'switch','title':'just stunned'} section1=('Parrot',[dead, resting, stunned] ) spam={'type':'switch','title':'spam'} spamity={'type':'switch','title':'spam'} spaM={'type':'switch','title':'spam'} section2=('Spam',[spam, spamity, spaM],'SpammitySpam' ) f = form_dialog(title='Python Settings', sections= [section1, section2])As to your original question, you can use an imageview with an image of a line that you stretch out. Also, you could use a custom view with drawing, but that requires code, cannot really layout in ui editor.
