Cannot set color for a ui button
-
I am trying to set the color for a right ButtonItem in a view called 'table.' No matter what I set
tint_color
to, it does not seem to have an effect. I have tried different color names and hex, but the button title always shows in grey. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?My example code:
doneButton = ui.ButtonItem(title='Done', enabled=True, tint_color='red') tableRightButtons = [doneButton] table.right_button_items = tableRightButtons

I'm sorry, that's a bug. I think it has to do with my last-minute change of the default UI font, it looks like I'm accidentally overriding other appearance options...
-
No worries. Thought that might be the case.
-
It seems that the bug only affects
ButtonItem
s that contain text, so if you can use an image instead, it should work as expected:import ui v = ui.View() b = ui.ButtonItem(image=ui.Image.named('ionicons-beer-32'), tint_color='orange') v.right_button_items = [b] v.present('sheet')

Nice, and I applaud your choice of icon! Is there a full listing of the icon names anywhere?
-
There's a list in the UI editor when you set an image attribute (e.g. of a
Button
orImageView
). When you do this in code, you have to append the size though ('-24, '-32', or '-256').
