Subclassing ui.ListDataSource dealing with events

[Phuket2]

The below code should be so simple. But it's been sometime since I have done it. I feel I am am right in what I have done, but history tells me, I am normally wrong. The docs say you can set a ui.ListDataSource item as the delegate to a TableView. Which is what I have done. But I am not getting called back. Ok, I have subclassed ui.ListDataSource, but from what I can see it should work. @omz sorry to ask, but am I just doing something stupid or is it broken?

Edit: had to edit, otherwise I would be having coding nightmares of @ccc tracking me down in Pokemon and capturing me 😱😱

def dataset(nb=12, acc_type = 'detail_button'):
	# stupid helper test func.
	# make a list of dicts for ui.ListDataSource
	# no list[dict] comprehension. This is clearer for this purpose
	lst = []
	for i in range(1, nb+1):
		d = dict(title = str(i),
					image= 'None',

		self.items = dataset()
	
	# as far as i can tell, given this is the delegate if should be,
	# called. But its not called when a different row is selected. 
	# the same with other callbacks.
	def action(self, sender):
		print('in action')

		self.tbl.flex = 'wh'
		ds = MyData()
		self.tbl.data_source = ds
		self.tbl.delegate = ds
		self.add_subview(self.tbl)

	f = (0, 0, w, h)

	if not _use_theme:

@Phuket2 ideally your code should have worked. I think that it is a bug in pythonista. The attribute "action" seems to be initialized like
this

        self.action = None

instead of

      self.action = self.action if hasattr(self, 'action') else None

Thanks guys for the workaround and the explanation. I will add a bug report.
