Well I can change my code and add an Exit button or something, I'll figure out some way to work around this.

Thanks for all your help.

I have @ui.in.background before the line that takes the picture with the built-in camera. So that code looks like this:

@ui.in.background
def button_camera(sender):
if len(pics) == 4:
pics.pop(0)
pic = photos.capture_image()
if pic:
pics[len(pics):] = [pic]
showpics(sender)

So in my ui, I have a button with an action set to button_camera.

Huh, that also blocks the camera.

Thank you I will try that.

I added a wait_model() line after the present() line, but it seems to block access to the camera.

Any tips there?

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.

I added os.exit(EX_OK) after the v.present() line in my code, and when I run my app, Pythonista exists right away.

My code:
v = ui.load_view('umswi')
v.present()
os._exit(EX_OK)

If I remove the os._exit(EX_OK), my app runs until I press the "X" in the upper left-hand corner. If I put the os._exit(EX_OK) back in, my app starts and immediately exits.

If a user presses "X" in the upper left-hand corner, I want Pythonista to close. But I don't want it to close until someone presses that "X".

What am I doing wrong?

That is good, it is brilliant, thank you!

I have my Phythonista app now. It is a simple app that allows a user to enter a ticket #, a brief message, and take up to four pictures. Once they click "SEND," it is all E-Mailed to an address. This is for a loading dock, so they can take pics of damaged loads.

So a couple of questions: (1) can I prevent users from accidentally changing the app? I don't care if they can see the source, just don't want them accidentally making changes to the point where it doesn't work.

(2) I've backed-up my .py file via E-Mail, is there a way to backup the .pyui file as well?

(3) I added an icon to the home screen but noticed that if I hit the Home button and tap the icon a dozen times, then go into Pythonista, I have a dozen instances of the app running. I can keep pressing X in the upper left-hand corner. Any way to prevent this?

Sorry for all the newbie question. I downloaded the Pythonista app on Friday and had my application running this evening. Very nice development system.

Better than what I was doing, thanks!!!

My UI has some imageview images that I successfully set.

But I'd like to know, how to clear them?

So if I do:
imageview1.image = picture

How do I underset imageview.1image back to blank/white?
