Why my tree view is not loading in Odoo 9?

These following snippets are from my two XML files. I want to create a new tree view for the res.partner model.

<record id="distance_range_search_view_tree"model="ir.ui.view"> 
    <field name="name">distance_range_search_view_tree</field>
    <field name="model">res.partner</field>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <tree string="Contacts within Distance">
            <field name="display_name"/>
            <field name="country_id"/>
            <field name="city"/>
            <field name="state_id"/>
            <field name="zip"/>
            <field name="phone"/>
            <field name="distance"/>
        </tree>
    </field>
</record>

<record id="distance_range_search_action" model="ir.actions.act_window">
    <field name="name">Account Proximity Search</field>
    <field name="type">ir.actions.act_window</field>
    <field name="res_model">res.partner</field>
    <field name='view_mode'>tree</field>
    <field name="view_id" ref="distance_range_search_view_tree"/>
    <field name="help" type="html">
        <p>
           Here is the list of customers
        </p>
    </field>
</record>

And I use this method in my python file which returns the tree view:

@api.multi
def distance_to_search1(self):
    #some other code
    return {
        'name': _('Contacts in this range'),
        'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
        'res_model': 'res.partner',
        'view_type': 'tree',
        'view_mode': 'tree',
        'view_id': self.env.ref('contact_geolocation.distance_range_search_view_tree').id,
        'domain': [('id', 'in', filtered_partner_ids)],
    }

Why is my tree view not loading?

Try this:

<record id="distance_range_search_action" model="ir.actions.act_window">
    <field name="name">Account Proximity Search</field>
    <field name="type">ir.actions.act_window</field>
    <field name="res_model">res.partner</field>
    <field name='view_type'>tree,form</field>
    <field name='view_mode'>tree</field>
    <field name="view_id" ref="distance_range_search_view_tree"/>
    <field name="target">current</field>
    <field name="help" type="html">
        <p>
           Here is the list of customers
        </p>
    </field>
</record>

@api.multi
def distance_to_search1(self):
    #some other code
    return {
        'name': _('Contacts in this range'),
        'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
        'res_model': 'res.partner',
        'view_type': 'form',
        'view_mode': 'tree',
        'view_id': self.env.ref('contact_geolocation.distance_range_search_view_tree').id,
        'domain': [('id', 'in', filtered_partner_ids)],
    }

Edit: I found this in the source code

For historical reasons, OpenERP has weird dealings in relation to view_mode and the view_type attribute (on window actions):

  • one of the view modes is tree, which stands for both list views and tree views
  • the choice is made by checking view_type, which is either form for a list view or tree for an actual tree view.

This methods simply folds the view_type into view_mode by adding a new view mode list which is the result of the tree view_mode in conjunction with the form view_type.
