Thank you all. @ui.in_backround solved it.

Disregard, I found a different source.

Trying to install mysql connector and I keep getting the following error:

Has anybody run into this? Is there a solution?

@mikael, thank you, that took care of it. I had tried that, but I put it at the update function not the select function.

@mikael, this is about as stripped out as I can make it

def tableview_add(self):
            trxRec = {}
            result = {}      
           # trxRec = {'account': self.selected_account}
            result = bucks_dialog(trxRec)    # this works
        
    def tableview_update(self):
            result = {}
            trxRec = {}
           # trxRec = self.selected_item
            result = bucks_dialog(trxRec)    # this blows out - self.container_view changes to None
        
    def tableview_did_select(self, tv, section, row):
            self.tableview_update()
        
def transaction_action(sender):    # sender is ui.button
    sender.tint_color = 'blue'
    ds.tableview_add()

Bucks_dialog is a custom form_dialogs from dialogs

Error is:

Pythonista3/Documents/Projects/bucks/bucks_form.py", line 217, in trans_type_action
self.container_view.name = segment_names[ind]
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'

self.container_view is none (form_dialog)

@mikael Thanks @mikael, doesn’t help. Same error, same place. What I can’t understand is why it works one place and not another. I stripped every thing out of the two functions so they are doing exactly the same thing. On blows up, the other does’t.

I’ve written a custom input form sub-classed from input form dialog. It works fine stand alone. It also works fine when called from a button on my tableview form. When I call it from tableview select, it blows out. Somehow container_view becomes None. I’ve tried everything I can think of, including calling the button action. Any thoughts?

Thank you all. @ui.in_backround solved it.

I’m launching a standard dialog from tableview_did_select

def tableview_did_select(self, tableview, section, row):
        self.selected_row = row
        self.selected_section = section
        print(dialogs.list_dialog('list dialog', items=['happy', 'days', 'are', 'here', 'again']))

This always returns None!

However, if it’s launched from a ui.ButtonItem on the same view it works properly and returns the selected item.

def cancel_action(sender):     
    print(dialogs.list_dialog('list dialog', items=['happy', 'days', 'are', 'here', 'again']))    
    ui.end_editing()
    ds.container_view.close()

This always returns the selected item

Any suggestions on making tableview_did_select work?

@cvp Thank you, that did it.

It crashes Pythonista. It’s a switch on a simple test form. Does’t do anything. Tap the switch and pythonista locks up.
