Button action to increment += 1 a label value
-
Good morning to all guys,
I'm quite new to Python and absolutely new to Pythonista.
I'm a volleyball coach and I'm trying to build by myself a simple scouting app.
I'm trying to create a function for a button to be able to increment by 1 the value shown inside a label on the GUI.
The buttons has a title different to 1, they must indicate the related attack position inside the playing field.Can anyone help me?
Scuse me if the question is stupid and thanks you all prior.

A button can have other user defined attributes, so you can have the name of the label to be updated for example. You can also assign button a name, and then define the label name as the same as the button name, except with Label at the end...
def button_action(sender): labelName=sender.name+'Label' sender.parent[labelName].text= str(int(sender.parent[labelName].text)+1) V=ui.View() B=ui.Button(title='center', name='center') L=ui.Label(text="0", name='centerLabel') B.action=button_action # ...
Or you could even store the label itself as an attribute of the button...
def button_action(sender): sender.label.text= str(int(sender.label.text)+1) V=ui.View() B=ui.Button(title='center', name='center') L=ui.Label(text="0", name='centerLabel') B.label=L B.action=button_action # ..
Alternatively, store the number as a custom button attribute, and have a separate function that updates all of the labels.
Eg. The action would simply be:
sender.count+=1 update_labels()
Then a separate function that maps each label to each button value.
