@Phuket2, I agree that the ui rocks! I was just saying that what I provided was not up to par.. The ListView was hanging down past the bottom of the screen, but at least the text scrolled into view. And now creating an awesome ui seems to be what I'd like to do next. I have been playing around with it , and I just see so many possibilities and don't know which way to go. My first setback is whether or not I want to use the editor or just code it all in.

Using the editor: I have achieved different results (with the same flex settings) based on placing things directly on the view, and placing things in a full subview of the view.. Still trying to figure that all out but making progress. It will at least help me know whats going on if I decide to just code it all in again.

Also, Pickdate is looking good!

Inspired by @Phuket2, I wanted to get a TableView working (there is probably some lines of his code that can be found in here). This is not perfect, but hopefully it will help someone. The UI sucks, tackling UI may be my next project. It was made on my iPhone6P, so Idk if it will work correctly or not on a different display.

When an item is added, then selected, it will return results of something (I don't know what, exactly. I was expecting an index out of range on that). Also, does anyone know why the very last cell (or 2 or 3..) does not like to stay in view when selected - when paging is enabled but a little out of balance?

@Phuket2, Thank you! I have been looking at a few of your examples and I really appreciate your contributions!

This example made me want to be able to get all the attributes of specific ui elements, so I put something together real quick based off of your code..

import ui, pprint

items = [
    ui.View, ui.Button, ui.ButtonItem, ui.ImageView, ui.Label, ui.NavigationView, ui.ScrollView, ui.SegmentedControl, ui.Slider, ui.Switch, ui.TableView, ui.TextField, ui.TextView,
    ui.WebView, ui.DatePicker, ui.ActivityIndicator, ui.TableViewCell
    ]

def show():
    iitems = enumerate(items)
    for x in iitems:
        print(x)

def all():
    for a in items:
        pp.pprint((a,dir(a)))
        
def one(i):
    a = items[i]
    pp.pprint((a,dir(a)))
    
pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=3, width=46)


ins='show() displays the ui elements,\nall() prints all attrs of all ui elements,\none(i) prints attrs of element i where i is the elem number (as shown by show())'
print()
show()
print()
print(ins)

I couldn't read it while typing but I see now there isn't an = in the second one. Oops.

I would like to try and help if I can. I'm not quite sure exactly what your trying to do..

Are you using a child of button such that the button has a button.msg attribute?

When you declare btn.msg = func(),
Then declare btn.msg = msg,
I believe it acts as if button.msg = func() never happened.. The second reference replaces the first.

I may be wrong but I will try playing around to see what I can come up with.

@Cethric thanks for the clarification.

The uipacked files can be found Here. This is my first time using github, so I hope I did it right.

Edit: I took down the packed files as per @Cethric 's advice. The original files can now be found in the same place.

Thank you! The PackUI script is perfect! I will mess around with reading, printing, and copying later.

Is it ok for me to post the results here if anyone wants to check it out? They seem kind of long.

Hello everyone,

I downloaded pythonista a couple weeks ago and created a forum account a few days ago, but this is my first post. I wanted to first mention that I also downloaded editorial (although I'm not sure if I will use it much), in support of pythonista. I would really like to thank omz for the time and support of pythonista.

I know its just a few days shy (hopefully) of 2.0, but here is my first question..

How would I go about sharing code that uses pyui files? I created a basic image editing app that I would like to share, and if it was pure python, copy and paste would be easy. I do not know how someone would get my pyui file(s) into their device (without publishing to app store). Is it possible?
