Hello again all. I’m having trouble with a clipboard keyboard ui that I made.
I’ll include my relevant code below, but I’ll share a short rundown of what I believe it might be.

I made a base clipboard ui that automatically resizes a scrollviews content size and adds buttons and delete buttons to the scrollview depending on how many items are in the json file supplied to the clipboard.

I had planned to reuse the same ui to save the snippets of code for js,python,etc so I made a separate subclass for my regular clipboard. I implemented a delete button for each clip that will delete the clip from the json and set its corresponding button text to “[clip text] (deleted)”. It definitely deletes the clip from the file, but when setting the button title to the new one it’s like I have two overlaying views because I can clearly see the old text under the new one.

I even switched it to the base view I was subclassing and it still does it, can anyone look at my code and tell me where I’m going wrong?

Base View

ScrollView

Buttons

I apologize for the length of my non-commented code, I’m posting this right before work

class clipboard_base(ui.View):
    def __init__(self,name,clip_list):

        self.name = name
        self.clip_list = clip_list

        self.button_height = 60
        self.insert_before = []


        button_container = ui.ScrollView()
        button_container.frame = (0,0,self.width,self.height)
        self.scrollview = button_container
        self.add_subview(button_container)

    def layout(self):
        if len(self.insert_before) == 0:
            starting_y = 0
        else:
            starting_y = self.insert_before[-1].height+2*self.gap

        self.button1_width = self.width - 3*self.gap -50

        total_button_height = len(self.clip_list)*self.button_height+(len(self.clip_list)+1)*self.gap

        scrollview = self.scrollview

        scrollview.height = self.height - starting_y

        if total_button_height > scrollview.height:
            scrollview.content_size=(self.width,total_button_height)
        else:
            scrollview.content_size = (scrollview.width,scrollview.height)

        if len(self.insert_before) == 0:
            scrollview.frame = self.bounds
        else:

            scrollview.add_subview(button2)

        else:
            pass

        try:
