Whenever I update the title of a ui.button an animation is shown (so it appears as if the button flickers).

This seems to be normal on iOS, and this is how it can be prevented in native Apps: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18946490/how-to-stop-unwanted-uibutton-animation-on-title-change

Is there a way to prevent this animation in Pythonista (for example using obj_c )?

I would really like to use a button and not a custom view...

@FrankenApps same here

@FrankenApps this has worked but no more today, don’t know why

import ui
from objc_util import *

UIButton = ObjCClass('UIButton') 

class my:
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def handler(self,_cmd,obj1_ptr):
        print('handler',self.title)
        self.UIButton.title = self.title

    def setTitleWithoutAnimation(self,ui_button, title):
        o = ObjCInstance(ui_button)    
        self.UIButton = False
        for subview in o.subviews():
            if subview.isKindOfClass(UIButton):   
                self.UIButton = subview
                break  
        if not self.UIButton:
            return
        self.title = title
        block = ObjCBlock(self.handler, restype=None, argtypes=[c_void_p, c_void_p])
        # class/type method, not instance method
        UIButton.animateWithDuration_animations_(0,block)


m=my()
v = ui.View()
v.frame =(0,0,100,100)
b = ui.Button()
b.frame = (10,10,80,32)
b.title = 'tap' 
def b_action(sender):
    m.setTitleWithoutAnimation(sender,'done')
b.action = b_action
v.add_subview(b)
v.present('sheet')

@cvp Thanks, I‘ll Play around with this a bit. I have Not seen that other thread, so sorry for the duplicate..

@FrankenApps no problem, often not easy to search in forum, better to search via google 😃
