How to populate designer tableview sections with a dictionary
-
I’m trying to populate a tableview with the contents of a dictionary. i want the tableview data to be grouped by sections following the rows belonging to each section. Below is the code that i put together so far. The keys show up in the tableview but not the values. How do you populate the rows/cells of each section with the key values?
Thanks!
import ui def load_table(view): #data = ['spam', 'ham', 'egg'] # Sections and section rows data = {'meat': ['spam', 'ham'], 'fruit': ['apple', 'orange']} datasource = ui.ListDataSource(data) view['tv_food'].data_source=datasource view['tv_food'].delegate=datasource def main(): view = ui.load_view('tableview_test') # tableview from designer load_table(view) nav = ui.NavigationView(view) nav.present() if __name__ == '__main__': main()

@nvedwards see an example here or here

@nvedwards quick and dirty script only to show that it could be easier with dialogs
import dialogs def main(): # Sections and section rows data = {'meat': ['spam', 'ham'], 'fruit': ['apple', 'orange']} sections = [] for k in data.keys(): fields = [] for val in data[k]: fields.append({'title':val}) sections.append((k,fields)) f = dialogs.form_dialog('test via dialogs',sections=sections) if __name__ == '__main__': main()
