Ok here is the script. It grabs text from a csv file on an ftp server. If i put the textview outside of the button action the string is undefined. Sorry hope im being clear
# coding: utf-8
import ui
import csv
from ftplib import FTP
from StringIO import StringIO
ftp = FTP('Server.com')
ftp.login()
ftp.set_pasv(True)
r= StringIO()
ftp.retrbinary('RETR record.csv',r.write)
def buttonGo(sender):
alist = list()
bandin = sender.superview['band']
r.seek(0)
csvfile=csv.reader(r.getvalue ().splitlines (),delimiter=',')
for row in csvfile:
if row[0] == bandin.text:
alist.append(row[1])
strlist = str()
strlist = ',' .join(alist)
textview1 = ui.TextView()
textview1.text = str(strlist)
print strlist
v = ui.load_view('vinyl q app')
if ui.get_screen_size()[1] >= 768:
#
v.present('popover')
else:
# iPhone
v.present(orientations=['portrait'])
ok i used the following within my defbuttonGo(sender);
textview1 = ui.TextView()
textview1.text = str(strlist)
print strlist
and i dont get an error. the print command works and gets the right string to the console but again the textview does not update with the string information, it stays blank
new to python and programming but i have coded a ui that will give me the output i want (a string) when i press a button. i can include the print command in my buttons function and will print the string to the console but i can't find a way to populate the textview with this string. i have tried the following ...
def buttonGo(sender);
<function that produces a string called strlist>
textview1 = ui.TextView() # creates textview1 as a TextView
textview1.text = strlist # assigns textview1's text attribute to the string 'strlist'
fails with a message that i can edit ui.textview
very new to this but hope its something simple im overlooking.
