Hello Guys,

I got an Problem with console.alert...

i have my mainView = ui.View
and another NavigationView with another ui.View
both in .present('fullscreen')

what did i wrong with console.alert to use in the NavView...
or is this not Possible ?

console.alert('INFO Datensätze', f'Der Hersteller:\n[ {self.MANUFACTURER} ]\nhat nur noch [ {max_use - in_use} ] Freie Datensätze!\n[ {area_from} - {area_to} ]', 'weiter', hide_cancel_button=True)

console.hud_alert don't work because the view is to small... for the \n

maybe you guys have an idea how to solve it

How are you calling console.alert? From within a button callback? Does your main view have a wait_modal? Is your button callback wrapped with ui.in_background?

Console.alert cannot be run on the main thread, so would need to be done within a background thread. If you have other in_background items, waiting for a response, these will conflict with the alert.

Another good option for this sort of thing is a "shield view" -- a partially transparent view (bgcolor includes a low alpha value) that sits on top of your main view (booth children to the same root view), to which you can add other view/dialogs/whatever, without affecting content in your main view.

@JonB Thanks for your reply...

ui.in_Background is the solution... i missed it :(

you just have to be a little careful with in_background, and understand that it does not spawn a new thread, but appends the code to a queue, the same queue that the main script is using, and everything gets run in order.

so, if you had some blocking code at the end of your __main__, or some long running background task, like a timer, any new calls wont show up until the old calls are complete.

sry for the late reply.

Yeah i know now ^^ but that's fine.. in the same function is only an hud_alert for 4sec and that's okay :D
