On_Click Function Assigned to Streamlit Button Runs Before the Click Event

I’ve assigned an on_funtion to a button .Which is supposed to run a python file and start capturing the webcam. It should only be started when the button is clicked . But whenever i run the streamlit server the function runs and start capturing without a click event. The same thing happens to a form I've made also which is leading to empty data written to google sheets.
Here is the code:
import subprocess
import sys
import streamlit as st
from activity_check import high_count
act_lev = ""
def start_capture():
subprocess.run([f"{sys.executable}", "activity_check.py"])
def run_cap():
st.button("Start Capturing",on_click=start_capture)
run_cap()
st.write(high_count)
The function should start only when i click, but its executing automatically
I thought a gif would help

this is a way to solve it:
import subprocess
import sys
import streamlit as st
from activity_check import high_count
act_lev = ""
def start_capture():
subprocess.run([f"{sys.executable}", "activity_check.py"])
if st.button("Start Capturing"):
st.write(start_capture())
st.write(high_count)
Try making your button conditional.
import subprocess
import sys
import streamlit as st
from activity_check import high_count
act_lev = ""
def start_capture():
subprocess.run([f"{sys.executable}", "activity_check.py"])
def run_cap():
cap_button = st.button("Start Capturing") # Give button a variable name
if cap_button: # Make button a condition.
start_capture()
st.text("Captured Successfully")
run_cap()
st.write(high_count)
The reason is because i i've imported this variable
**from activity_check import high_count**
when i removed it. It started working as normal. Now i've to figure out a way to get the value of that variable somehow.
