How to populate designer tableview sections with a dictionary

[nvedwards]

I’m trying to populate a tableview with the contents of a dictionary. i want the tableview data to be grouped by sections following the rows belonging to each section. Below is the code that i put together so far. The keys show up in the tableview but not the values. How do you populate the rows/cells of each section with the key values?

Thanks!

import ui


def load_table(view):
	#data = ['spam', 'ham', 'egg']
	# Sections and section rows
	data = {'meat': ['spam', 'ham'], 'fruit': ['apple', 'orange']}
	
	datasource = ui.ListDataSource(data)
	view['tv_food'].data_source=datasource
	view['tv_food'].delegate=datasource


def main():
	view = ui.load_view('tableview_test') # tableview from designer
	load_table(view)
	nav = ui.NavigationView(view)
	nav.present()


if __name__ == '__main__':
	main()

@nvedwards quick and dirty script only to show that it could be easier with dialogs

import dialogs

def main():
	# Sections and section rows
	data = {'meat': ['spam', 'ham'], 'fruit': ['apple', 'orange']}

	sections = []
	for k in data.keys():
		fields = []
		for val in data[k]:
			fields.append({'title':val})
		sections.append((k,fields))
	f = dialogs.form_dialog('test via dialogs',sections=sections)

if __name__ == '__main__':
	main()
