When I use "Run script" from the python shell, it puts my appuifw windows behind the console window.

If I run the same application from a Bluetooth console it works fine.

Is there some trick to keep an appuifw window in front?

[Seems like this must be a common problem but I searched for too long without finding related information.]

hi pzul_wisner
i am not getting your question properly but then also i hope this new globalui module can help you.

EDIT: You can also check the Top Window Module.

Hope i got you

I think my application is exiting at the end of the script.

What is the best practice to keep a python script alive while its waiting for callbacks?

Posting your script (simplified one is OK) probably helps other people understand where the problem is.

I guess that your code doesn't prevent a "main thread" from exiting using an e32.Ao_lock instance. As a result, it ends immediately after launching. Here is a simple HelloWorld script.

import e32
import appuifw

lock = e32.Ao_lock()                        # Create an e32.Ao_lock instance.
appuifw.app.title = u'HelloWorld'
appuifw.app.body = appuifw.Text(u'Hello World!')
appuifw.app.exit_key_handler = lock.signal  # Signal lock when right softkey pressed.
lock.wait()                                 # Wait until lock is signaled.

Perhaps, I'm making a wrong guess, but I hope you understand the concept of Ao_lock.

Thanks! The e32.Ao_lock() and wait() are what I needed.
