Problems with ios15
-
Are you getting and error? Or the delegate just doesn't run?
-
@frankL I don't understand why you set these 4 lines in the delegate function..
Moving them worksdef show_list_dialog(items=None, *args, **kwargs): items = items or [] tbl = ui.TableView(**kwargs) tbl.data_source = ui.ListDataSource(items) my_sel = {'value': None} class MyTableViewDelegate (object): def tableview_did_select(self, tableview, section, row): my_sel['value'] = tableview.data_source.items[row] tableview.close() #tbl.delegate = MyTableViewDelegate() #tbl.present(style='sheet') #tbl.wait_modal() #return my_sel['value'] tbl.delegate = MyTableViewDelegate() tbl.present(style='sheet') tbl.wait_modal() return my_sel['value']
-
I don't get an error. It appears that the delegate just doesn't run. I removed those lines and it still doesn't work. I put a print statement into the def tableview_did_select functionn and it doesn't get executed.
What is strange is that this same function in several other scripts also stopped working. I checked them after this script stopped working and none of them work now. That's why I thought it might have something to do with ios15. I had just upgraded to ios15 the previous night. -

Ok, you removed lines I commented but did you add the 3 lines I added (exactly the same but left indented twice)

If you import the same module in several scripts and if you modified (erroneously π’) this module, it is normal that you could get the same error in these scripts.

I added those three lines and now it prints the correct selection from within def tableview_did_select but it apparently returns 'none' which is what gets populated into the TextView field. Here is the exact script:
import ui # def show_list_dialog(items=None, *args, **kwargs): items = items or [] tbl = ui.TableView(**kwargs) tbl.data_source = ui.ListDataSource(items) my_sel = {'value': None} class MyTableViewDelegate (object): def tableview_did_select(self, tableview, section, row): my_sel['value'] = tableview.data_source.items[row] tableview.close() print('my_sel',my_sel['value']) tbl.delegate = MyTableViewDelegate() tbl.present(style='sheet') tbl.wait_modal() return my_sel['value'] # w, h = ui.get_screen_size() view = ui.View(name="Frank's Library", bg_color='lightblue', frame=(0, 0, w, h)) def select_author(sender): author_unique = ['Baldacci,David', 'Barr,Nevada', 'Bartol,Amy', 'Bernt,Eric', 'Brandt,Kylie', 'Bruni,Riccardo', 'Bryndza,Robert', 'Burke,James Lee', 'Burton,Mary', 'Butcher,Jim', 'Carlson,Tucker', 'Carrol,Sean', 'Case,Andrew', 'Chernov,Ron', 'Clayton,MegWaite', 'Coben,Harlan', 'Cole,Bobby', 'Connelly,Michael', 'Cornwell,Bernard', 'Cornwell,Patricia', 'Cowie,Amber', 'Crombie,Deborah', 'Crosby,Ellen', 'Cross,Katie', 'Cussler,Clive', 'Delaney,Matthew B.J.', 'Dilts,Tyler', 'Dorsey,Tim'] f = (0, 0, 400, 300) selected_author = show_list_dialog(author_unique, frame=f, name='Select an Author') author_result.text = str(selected_author) return author_button = ui.Button(title='Author', frame=(10,5,350,100), border_color='black', border_width=2, background_color='#EAECEE', action=select_author, font=('Arial Rounded MT Bold',18)) author_button.width=70 author_button.height=40 view.add_subview(author_button) # global author_result author_entry='' author_result = ui.TextView(name='author',frame=(100,5,250,40), border_color='black', border_width=3, text=author_entry, font=('Arial Rounded MT Bold',16)) view.add_subview(author_result) nav_view = ui.NavigationView(view) nav_view.present('sheet')
-
BTW the ios version is 15.1.1 on iPhone 12
-
@frankL For me, tapping Author, selecting one, fills the TextView and prints correctly (on a IPad 15.1) Remark that 15.1.1 is not yet for iPad
-
I get that same thing in the console but it doesn't populate the TextView field. It doesn't appear to be passing the value of my_sel['value'] so I put the assignment line into the def tableview_did_select function and it works. This seems like a real kluge! Beware ios15.1.1
def show_list_dialog(items=None, *args, **kwargs): items = items or [] tbl = ui.TableView(**kwargs) tbl.data_source = ui.ListDataSource(items) my_sel = {'value': None} class MyTableViewDelegate (object): def tableview_did_select(self, tableview, section, row): my_sel['value'] = tableview.data_source.items[row] tableview.close() print('my_sel',my_sel['value']) author_result.text = my_sel['value'] tbl.delegate = MyTableViewDelegate() tbl.present(style='sheet') tbl.wait_modal() return my_sel['value']
-
@frankL why do you pass via this my_sel['value'] and not via TableView.selected_row?
Check here-under which lines are commented to show they are unused#my_sel = {'value': None} class MyTableViewDelegate (object): def tableview_did_select(self, tableview, section, row): #my_sel['value'] = tableview.data_source.items[row] tableview.close() #print('my_sel',my_sel['value']) #author_result.text = my_sel['value'] tbl.delegate = MyTableViewDelegate() tbl.present(style='sheet') tbl.wait_modal() return tbl.data_source.items[tbl.selected_row[1]] #return my_sel['value']
-
I did that and now it returns the first item in the list (''Baldacci,David') regardless of which item is selected. Where is "selected_row" defined?
-
@frankL said
Where is "selected_row" defined?
Standard TableView process, see doc.
For me, it works, even by selecting another row than 1st one.
Sure, you did copy exactly?
It is like you did type:return tbl.data_source.items[tbl.selected_row[0]]
selected_row[0] is the section, here 0 and items[0] is Baldacci
-
I did have it as return tbl.data_source.items[tbl.selected_row[1]] but I changed it to return tbl.data_source.items[tbl.selected_row[0]] and it still just returns the first list item ''Baldacci,David'. This is baffling.
-
@frankL said
I changed it to return tbl.data_source.items[tbl.selected_row[0]]
Please, don't do that, let [1] and let us try to find why you return always the 1st element
Please post your full code, perhaps an indentation error in what you modified
But one more time, you recreate a new TableView at each tap on the author button
-
@frankL please try this one, shorter, without recreating each time thΓ© TableView
import ui # class MyTableViewDelegate (object): def tableview_did_select(self, tableview, section, row): author_result.text = tbl.data_source.items[row] tableview.close() w, h = ui.get_screen_size() view = ui.View(name="Frank's Library", bg_color='lightblue', frame=(0, 0, w, h)) author_unique = ['Baldacci,David', 'Barr,Nevada', 'Bartol,Amy', 'Bernt,Eric', 'Brandt,Kylie', 'Bruni,Riccardo', 'Bryndza,Robert', 'Burke,James Lee', 'Burton,Mary', 'Butcher,Jim', 'Carlson,Tucker', 'Carrol,Sean', 'Case,Andrew', 'Chernov,Ron', 'Clayton,MegWaite', 'Coben,Harlan', 'Cole,Bobby', 'Connelly,Michael', 'Cornwell,Bernard', 'Cornwell,Patricia', 'Cowie,Amber', 'Crombie,Deborah', 'Crosby,Ellen', 'Cross,Katie', 'Cussler,Clive', 'Delaney,Matthew B.J.', 'Dilts,Tyler', 'Dorsey,Tim'] tbl = ui.TableView() tbl.name='Select an Author' tbl.frame = (0, 0, 400, 300) tbl.data_source = ui.ListDataSource(author_unique) tbl.delegate = MyTableViewDelegate() def select_author(sender): tbl.present(style='sheet') tbl.wait_modal() return author_button = ui.Button(title='Author', frame=(10,5,350,100), border_color='black', border_width=2, background_color='#EAECEE', action=select_author, font=('Arial Rounded MT Bold',18)) author_button.width=70 author_button.height=40 view.add_subview(author_button) # author_entry='' author_result = ui.TextView(name='author',frame=(100,5,250,40), border_color='black', border_width=3, text=author_entry, font=('Arial Rounded MT Bold',16)) view.add_subview(author_result) nav_view = ui.NavigationView(view) nav_view.present('sheet')
-
@cvp inside your delegate it should be tableview, not tbl.
-
@JonB yes, you're right, but tbl is also known, I guess, because it works
-
If this code was indeed working before, that suggests something changed with wait_modal. As a check:
import ui # def show_list_dialog(items=None, *args, **kwargs): items = items or [] tbl = ui.TableView(**kwargs) tbl.data_source = ui.ListDataSource(items) my_sel = {'value': None} class MyTableViewDelegate (object): def tableview_did_select(self, tableview, section, row): print('items:', tableview.data_source.items) print('section, row:', section, row) my_sel['value'] = tableview.data_source.items[row] tableview.close() print('in delegate: my_sel',my_sel['value']) tbl.delegate = MyTableViewDelegate() tbl.present(style='sheet') tbl.wait_modal() print('after wait: ', my_sel['value']) return my_sel['value'] # w, h = ui.get_screen_size() view = ui.View(name="Frank's Library", bg_color='lightblue', frame=(0, 0, w, h)) def select_author(sender): author_unique = ['Baldacci,David', 'Barr,Nevada', 'Bartol,Amy', 'Bernt,Eric', 'Brandt,Kylie', 'Bruni,Riccardo', 'Bryndza,Robert', 'Burke,James Lee', 'Burton,Mary', 'Butcher,Jim', 'Carlson,Tucker', 'Carrol,Sean', 'Case,Andrew', 'Chernov,Ron', 'Clayton,MegWaite', 'Coben,Harlan', 'Cole,Bobby', 'Connelly,Michael', 'Cornwell,Bernard', 'Cornwell,Patricia', 'Cowie,Amber', 'Crombie,Deborah', 'Crosby,Ellen', 'Cross,Katie', 'Cussler,Clive', 'Delaney,Matthew B.J.', 'Dilts,Tyler', 'Dorsey,Tim'] f = (0, 0, 400, 300) selected_author = show_list_dialog(author_unique, frame=f, name='Select an Author') print('list dialog returned:', selected_author) author_result.text = str(selected_author) return author_button = ui.Button(title='Author', frame=(10,5,350,100), border_color='black', border_width=2, background_color='#EAECEE', action=select_author, font=('Arial Rounded MT Bold',18)) author_button.width=70 author_button.height=40 view.add_subview(author_button) # global author_result author_entry='' author_result = ui.TextView(name='author',frame=(100,5,250,40), border_color='black', border_width=3, text=author_entry, font=('Arial Rounded MT Bold',16)) view.add_subview(author_result) nav_view = ui.NavigationView(view) nav_view.present('sheet')
-
@JonB I hope he will check but I'm not sure that I did not change some code. Anyway, this code recreates the TableView each time your tap the author button...
-
@JonB don't forget that line tbl.delegate = MyTableViewDelegate() was initially in the delegate, it can't work.
