    • RE: how to get last video on iphone?

      Apparently I had the 'from objc_util import *' after the class MyView(ui.View):
      Once I move it up everything works perfectly. I can't thank you enough.
      I retired a few years ago and just started learning Python last summer and Pythonista late last fall so I've got a lot to learn and I really appreciate all of your help and the help from everyone on the omz:forum.

    • RE: Problems with ios15

      I copied the above code and ran it as is. It did not return the selected author. What was printed in the console was:

      after wait: None
      list dialog returned: None
      items: ['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'] section, row: 0 4
      in delegate: my_sel Brandt,Kylie

      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.

      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?

    • RE: Problems with ios15

      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']

    • RE: Problems with ios15

      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')

    • RE: Problems with ios15

      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.

      This is a simple version of what I'm trying to run:

      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()
      			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')```

      Specifically, it appear that the tableview delegate is not working.
