ListAdapter
=================
.. versionadded:: 1.5
.. deprecated:: 1.10.0
The feature has been deprecated.
.. warning::
This code is still experimental, and its API is subject to change in a
future version.
A :class:`ListAdapter` is an adapter around a python list and adds support
for selection operations. If you wish to have a bare-bones list adapter,
without selection, use a
:class:`~kivy.adapters.simplelistadapter.SimpleListAdapter`.
From an :class:`~kivy.adapters.Adapter`, a :class:`ListAdapter` inherits cls,
template, and args_converter properties and adds others that control selection
behaviour:
* :attr:`~ListAdapter.selection`: a list of selected items.
* :attr:`~ListAdapter.selection_mode`: one of 'single', 'multiple' or 'none'.
* :attr:`~ListAdapter.allow_empty_selection`: a boolean. If False, a selection
is forced. If True, and only user or programmatic action will change
selection, it can be empty.
A :class:`~kivy.adapters.dictadapter.DictAdapter` is a subclass of a
:class:`~kivy.adapters.listadapter.ListAdapter`. They both dispatch the
:attr:`~ListAdapter.on_selection_change` event when selection changes.
.. versionchanged:: 1.6.0
Added data = ListProperty([]), which was probably inadvertently deleted at
some point. This means that whenever data changes an update will fire,
instead of having to reset the data object (Adapter has data defined as
an ObjectProperty, so we need to reset it here to ListProperty). See also
DictAdapter and its set of data = DictProperty().

'''
A base class for adapters interfacing with lists, dictionaries or other
collection type data, adding selection, view creation and management
functionality.

data = ListProperty([])
'''The data list property is redefined here, overriding its definition as
an ObjectProperty in the Adapter class. We bind to data so that any
changes will trigger updates. See also how the
:class:`~kivy.adapters.DictAdapter` redefines data as a
:class:`~kivy.properties.DictProperty`.
:attr:`data` is a :class:`~kivy.properties.ListProperty` and defaults
to [].

:attr:`selection` is a :class:`~kivy.properties.ListProperty` and defaults

'''
selection_mode = OptionProperty('single',
options=('none', 'single', 'multiple'))
'''The selection_mode is a string and can be set to one of the following
values:
* 'none': use the list as a simple list (no select action). This option
is here so that selection can be turned off, momentarily or
permanently, for an existing list adapter.
A :class:`~kivy.adapters.listadapter.ListAdapter` is not meant to be
used as a primary no-selection list adapter. Use a
:class:`~kivy.adapters.simplelistadapter.SimpleListAdapter` for that.
* 'single': multi-touch/click ignored. Single item selection only.
* 'multiple': multi-touch / incremental addition to selection allowed;
may be limited to a count by setting the
:attr:`~ListAdapter.selection_limit`.
:attr:`selection_mode` is an :class:`~kivy.properties.OptionProperty` and
defaults to 'single'.
'''
propagate_selection_to_data = BooleanProperty(False)
'''Normally, data items are not selected/deselected because the data items
might not have an is_selected boolean property -- only the item view for a
given data item is selected/deselected as part of the maintained selection
list. However, if the data items do have an is_selected property, or if
they mix in :class:`~kivy.adapters.models.SelectableDataItem`, the
selection machinery can propagate selection to data items. This can be
useful for storing selection state in a local database or backend database
for maintaining state in game play or other similar scenarios. It is a
convenience function.
To propagate selection or not?
Consider a shopping list application for shopping for fruits at the
market. The app allows for the selection of fruits to buy for each day of
the week, presenting seven lists: one for each day of the week. Each list
is loaded with all the available fruits, but the selection for each is a
subset. There is only one set of fruit data shared between the lists, so
it would not make sense to propagate selection to the data because
selection in any of the seven lists would clash and mix with that of the
others.
However, consider a game that uses the same fruits data for selecting
fruits available for fruit-tossing. A given round of play could have a
full fruits list, with fruits available for tossing shown selected. If the
game is saved and rerun, the full fruits list, with selection marked on
each item, would be reloaded correctly if selection is always propagated to
the data. You could accomplish the same functionality by writing code to
operate on list selection, but having selection stored in the data
ListProperty might prove convenient in some cases.
.. note::
This setting should be set to True if you wish to initialize the view
with item views already selected.
:attr:`propagate_selection_to_data` is a
:class:`~kivy.properties.BooleanProperty` and defaults to False.
'''
allow_empty_selection = BooleanProperty(True)
'''The allow_empty_selection may be used for cascading selection between
several list views, or between a list view and an observing view. Such
automatic maintenance of the selection is important for all but simple
list displays. Set allow_empty_selection to False and the selection is
auto-initialized and always maintained, so any observing views
may likewise be updated to stay in sync.
:attr:`allow_empty_selection` is a
:class:`~kivy.properties.BooleanProperty` and defaults to True.
'''
selection_limit = NumericProperty(-1)
'''When the :attr:`~ListAdapter.selection_mode` is 'multiple' and the
selection_limit is
non-negative, this number will limit the number of selected items. It can
be set to 1, which is equivalent to single selection. If selection_limit is
not set, the default value is -1, meaning that no limit will be enforced.
:attr:`selection_limit` is a :class:`~kivy.properties.NumericProperty` and
defaults to -1 (no limit).
'''
cached_views = DictProperty({})
'''View instances for data items are instantiated and managed by the
adapter. Here we maintain a dictionary containing the view
instances keyed to the indices in the data.
This dictionary works as a cache. get_view() only asks for a view from
the adapter if one is not already stored for the requested index.
:attr:`cached_views` is a :class:`~kivy.properties.DictProperty` and
defaults to {}.
