UI Tutorial

As you surely noticed there are two ways of writing a ui-script. If you use only a few GUI elements you might write all the code in your script.py, but that's not what is here. Here is how to use the UI design tool to speed up the process and write only little code. To get a summary see the ui-tutorial.pdf.

• load_ui.py - Shows how to load a .pyui file
• hello_world_v2.py - Change the label every second
• shoppinglist.py - Button, tableview and textfield use
• layout.py - Automatic resize ui elements
• pop-over.py - Barebone example of how to use a pop over view
• AreYouEnabledView.py - Advanced example with textfield_did_change, console_alert, speech, etc... (written by cclauss)
• ShowTableView.py - Directory table, empty table and table with different accessory_types/images
• UsingSubviews.py - Demonstrates how to add and remove subviews
• Webbrowser.py - Example of a basic web browser
• SpecialButton.py - Control all touch events (touch_began, touch_moved, touch_ended)
• segmented-control.py - Example of how to use a segmented control (written by tjferry14)
• MyImageView.py - View all JPGs in the current directory
• NavigationViewExample.py - Shows an example of using the Navigation View
• SwitchViews.py - Show and hide different views
• MiniPhotoView.py - Shows up to 100 photos from your camera roll
• Three-Column-Sortable-TableView.py - Sort any of the three columns in ascending or descending order
• MyView.py – When is layout and when is draw called. Draw with icon, line and text.

Other UI scripts can be found here:

• PhoneManager
• hexviewer
• SFTPclient

ui-tutorial's Issues

Missing assignment in Three-Column-Sortable-TableView.py

Should line 115 be self.dirs = [["..", "<DIR>", 0.0]]

Need an RU_enabled.py example where one text field enables/disables multiple buttons

One text field and buttons: alert, popover, print, say. The buttons are disabled when the text field is empty.

Task-List is an excellent but complicated example: https://github.com/Pythonista-Tools/Pythonista-Tools/tree/master/UI

Dynamically update text field

I’m new to python & pythonista, but I’m really enjoying it.
So my issue; I’m trying to update a text field with a running elapsed timer. I attempted to use a software interrupt (signal module) with no success. It seems to me the ui is constantly polling for actions, so I should think I could tap into that, just haven’t found the secret yet. Any hints are appreciated.

In Layout, put the "Add" button near the top of the screen

Otherwise I need to hide the keyboard each time I want to tap "Add".

It would be good to show how invoke Add when the user taps the return key.
