[FIXED] AttributeError: 'QTextBrowser' object has no attribute 'get'

Issue

I'm trying to put functions to my UI that has lineEdit where i could type and a SEND button which can then forward the text to the textBrowser to display, but i'm getting the error.

AttributeError: 'QTextBrowser' object has no attribute 'get'

from PyQt4 import QtGui
import sys

import design

class ExampleApp(QtGui.QDialog, design.Ui_Dialog):
    def __init__(self):
        super(self.__class__, self).__init__()
        self.setupUi(self)                                     
        self.sendButton.clicked.connect(self.send_message)

    def send_message(self):
        text_contents = self.lineEdit.get()
        self.textBrowser.insert(text_contents)

I may have used things wrong, correct me where i did mistakes.

Solution

lineEdit is a QLineEdit so if you need to get the text you must use the text() method, and textBrowser is a QTextBrowser and to add text you must use append()

def send_message(self):
    text_contents = self.lineEdit.text()
    self.textBrowser.append(text_contents)
