Yes, thank you, this solved my problems, although using a label since <system-bold> doesn’t work with ui.draw_string seems like a bug workaround.

Two issues:

1. When I try to create a custom view with the pyui I am unable to created rounded corners, but if instead I create the custom view without the pyui I get rounded corners.
2. When I try to use <system-bold> font in a custom view the text is not bold.

How do I solve this? Thanks for any help!

Here is an example that illustrates both:

import ui

class customButton(ui.View):
  def __init__(self,frame=(0,0,300,100)):
    self.corner_radius = 8
    self.frame = frame
    self.text = 'why does only one of these have rounded corners and neither have bold text?'

  def draw(self):
    path = ui.Path.rounded_rect(0,0, self.width,self.height,self.corner_radius)
    ui.set_color('green')
    path.fill()
    ui.draw_string(self.text,(0,0,self.width,self.height),('<system-bold>',20),'black',ui.ALIGN_CENTER)


#the pyui file consists of a single custom view, with
# x=20
# y=200
# width=300
# height=100
# custom view class = customButton
v = ui.load_view()
cbn = customButton()
v.add_subview(cbn)
v.present('fullscreen')

Thank you cvp, I appreciate your help

Now instead of reading (0,0) when no rows are selected I read (0,<last_selected_row>) when no rows are selected

Sorry, I lost the indent tabs on the def: above

If you press the ‘check’ button when no rows are selected, it shows (0,0), the same as when the first row is selected:

import ui

def check_selected_row(sender):
    #print(tbl.selected_row)
    lbl.text = str(tbl.selected_row)
    tbl.reload_data()

v = ui.View(bg_color='white')
tbl = ui.TableView(frame=(50,0,100,180))

data = ('zero','one','two')
tbl.data_source=ui.ListDataSource(data)

btn = ui.Button(frame=(250,100,0,0),bg_color='yellow',title='check',action=check_selected_row)

lbl = ui.Label(frame=(50,220,100,100))

v.add_subview(btn)
v.add_subview(tbl)
v.add_subview(lbl)
v.present('fullscreen')

If I read tableview.selected_row, it returns (0,0) if the first row is selected, but it also returns (0,0) if no rows are selected. How can I tell whether the first row of a tableview is selected or not?

Thank you JonB! I knew I must be missing something, and I never would have figured that out.

I’m sorry if this has an obvious answer, but I am unable to get this to work. I want to use a custom close button but it doesn’t work for me. What am I missing? Thank you!

` import ui

v = ui.View()

b1 = ui.Button(title = "why doesn't this close button work?")
b1.frame = (50,100,270,50)
b1.background_color = '#d0d0d0'
b1.action = v.close()

v.add_subview(b1)
v.present('fullscreen', hide_title_bar=True)```

@mikael fantastic! Thank you so much. It works great. I really appreciate your time and @cvp to help out an inexperienced python user like me.

@cvp yes, but I was hoping to change the font within the label, and <f 'Times New Roman' 60> doesn't work. For example, this doesn't work:

    r = RichLabel(
      font=('Chalkboard SE', 60),
      background_color='white',
      alignment=ui.ALIGN_CENTER,
      number_of_lines=0,
    )

    r.rich_text("\n".join([
      "First font",
      "<f 'Times New Roman' 60>Second font</f>, 
    ]))

@mikael I have enjoyed using your richlabels (thank you!!). One thing I haven’t figured out - When I try to change the font with

<f times new roman 15>

I get an error that it can't find a font named times. It seems like it is looking for the first word only in the font name. I don’t know python syntax well enough - is there a way I can write my code that will combine the whole three-word string when passed to the richlabels parser to have a multiword font, or is this a limitation of the richlabels module?

Thanks again!

@ccc I'm afraid I don't follow. I'm using Py3, and neither u'anā\B' nor r'anā\B' catch the expression I need to replace. Is there anything I can do?

Thank you very much for your time.

I get a complaint of a syntax error when I try
replaced = re.sub(ru'anā\B', u'nā', s)
It is complaining about the ru together. This syntax does work on my Mac. Is there a way this works in Pythonista?

@mikael @cvp I’m indifferent to the format, as you said, HTML is more usual, but any other format with at least as much flexibility would be fine. I think this a fantastic feature in any case.

Just wondering if this is easy, or would it require gestures?

@mikael very nice!

I see what is the problem with (1), the icon is grabbed correctly when I used my iPad but not my iPhone. I have the same directory path duplication problem (2) on my iPad as my iPhone, though.

Is it supposed to? If so, what am I missing?

1.While editing my .py file, I tap on the wrench, then on ↗️Shortcuts... then on Home Screen Icon, then on Continue, then on the share button in the toolbar, then Add to Home Screen, then Add, and I get an icon that looks like this:

Instead of like this:

2.Then when I tap the icon, I get
Not Found The file “flashcards/flashcards/flashcards_new.py” could not be found.
I was able to work around this second problem by creating a flashcards subdirectory so that the path was correct

Are these known issues?

@mikael @cvp Thank you both, I will certainly be able to figure this out based on your suggestions. I appreciate your help.
