Maximize console view

[boegh]

Encouraged by the good and solid responses for my previous question I will dare another one here :)

Is there a way to maximize the console scriptually?

I have a script which I call through Siri Shortcuts, and prints the output to the console, but the state of the console/editor view is as Pythonista was left, so my thinking was to maximize the console view through the script.

@boegh sorry for the delay but I needed some time to solve it

from objc_util import *
import ui

@on_main_thread
def setConsoleFullScreen():
	global next_OMTextView_is_console
	win = ObjCClass('UIApplication').sharedApplication().keyWindow()
	main_view = win.rootViewController().view() 
	ret = '' 
	next_OMTextView_is_console = False
	def analyze(v,indent):
		global next_OMTextView_is_console, console_width
		ret = None
		for sv in v.subviews():
			#print(indent,sv._get_objc_classname())
			if 'UILabel' in str(sv._get_objc_classname()):
				next_OMTextView_is_console = str(sv.text()) == '>'
			elif 'OMTextView' in str(sv._get_objc_classname()):	
				if next_OMTextView_is_console:
					# this sv is the console TextView
					console_width = sv.size().width
			elif 'UIImageView' in str(sv._get_objc_classname()):	
				# <UIImage:0x281108240 named(main: DockAccessoryPanel) {28, 28}>
				#print(sv.image())
				if 'DockAccessoryPanel' in str(sv.image()):
					b = sv.superview()	# button of ImageView
					if console_width < (ui.get_screen_size()[0]/3):
						# simulate tap the partial/full console button	
						UIControlEventTouchUpInside = 255
						b.sendActionsForControlEvents_(UIControlEventTouchUpInside)
					return True
			ret = analyze(sv,indent+'  ')
			if ret:
				return ret
	ret = analyze(main_view,'')
	return ret

if __name__ == '__main__':	
	#print('ici')
	setConsoleFullScreen()

Some variable name errors, corrected in above script

@cvp, you apologize for the delay while I did not yet even understand the problem description. :-) What is ”fullscreen” in this case?

Also, I tried your code on iPhone, and it does not (seem to) do anything.

[cvp]

@mikael Perhaps I did not understand the question 😢
But, if Pythonista is in mode where console uses only 1/3 of the screen on iPad and you run my code, il simulates you tap on the button which resets the full screen console. Remove the # in front of my print('ici') and watch the miracle

@boegh I begin to doubt that I understood your request ... Tell me if I understood correctly and if my function resolves it.

[mikael]

@cvp, now I might understand why I did not understand... On iPhone this does nothing and is simply not relevant – console is shown ”fullscreen” when something is printed to it (and nothing is presented).

Please don't be sorry. I assume you are a volunteer contributor, and even if not, the response times are quite a bit lower, than what I have experienced from paid professionals :)

As for your question on wether or not you have understood the question, I can't answer that with exact certainty, but the solution you have provided does exactly what I was looking for, so I'd say that you most likely figured out what I meant. Sorry if I was not clear - English is not a first language for me, and the Python terminology is also a bit new for me.

@boegh English is not my mother language either and I'm happy that I had correctly understood but I always forget that presentation is different on an iPhone because I only work on iPad.
And I was perturbed by @mikael post because he didn't see anything on his iDevice, until I read the word iPhone...Thus, everybody is happy 😀
