how can i add a custom action (More-Button) that directly calls a method of my module?

most documentation/tutorials just call views/wizards but i want to directly call the custom python methon without any wizard.

Hello Jack,

I cannot tell if you want this action to be on the action drop-down or as a button by itself so I will explain both. 

To create an action in the drop-down you have to create a server action and click the "Create Contextual Action" button, it should now appear in the dropdown. You would then put the code in for your function which would be either:

model.your_function()

if your function is linked to the model and has no relation to the record whereas you would call:

record.your_function()

when there is a relation to the record. Eg when you would be using the records field to send a POST request. 

For a button on the view you would create the button on the view as something like this:

<button name="your_function" type="object" string="String" class="oe_highlight"/>

Or to call the server action that you created from your button:

<button name="<id_of_server_action>" type="action" string="String" class="oe_highlight"/>

I hope this helps,

Thanks,

<record id="your_id" model="ir.actions.server">
    <field name="name">Button name here</field>
    <field name="model_id" ref="module_name.model_name_here"/>
    <field name="binding_model_id" ref="module_name.model_name_here_where_you_want_to_bind_this_button"/>
    <field name="binding_view_types">form,list</field>
    <field name="state">code</field>
    <field name="code">action = records.your_function_name()</field>
</record>
