bug: sometimes "setTimeout" doesn't work on Android
Hi,
Sometimes setTimeout works, sometimes setTimeout doesn't work on Android. Are there some conditions to make it work always?
Versions: Android APIs 2.1&2.2 and Titanium 1.6RC1
I tried the following simple code based on the app.js in the default project.
app.js:
Ti.include('test.js');
var tabGroup = Titanium.UI.createTabGroup();
setTimeout(function(){
Ti.API.info('setTimeout A OK!');
}, 3000);
var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
title:'Tab 1',
backgroundColor:'#fff'
});
var tab1 = Titanium.UI.createTab({
icon:'KS_nav_views.png',
title:'Tab 1',
window:win1
});
var label1 = Titanium.UI.createLabel({
color:'#999',
text:'I am Window 1',
font:{fontSize:20,fontFamily:'Helvetica Neue'},
textAlign:'center',
width:'auto'
});
win1.add(label1);
tabGroup.addTab(tab1);
tabGroup.open();
setTimeout(function(){
Ti.API.info('setTimeout B OK!');
}, 3000);
test.js:
setTimeout(function(){
Ti.API.info('setTimeout C OK!');
}, 3000);
(function(){
setTimeout(function(){
Ti.API.info('setTimeout D OK!');
}, 3000);
})();
The all 4 info logs (A, B, C, D) are printed on iPhone perfectly, but no log on Android.
Thank you.

I have the same problem…
edit: Seems to work you do it this way :
var f = function(){ } setTimeout(f,2000); -
Same issue. Works great when declared using the 'var' syntax.
For reference here is the error I get when not using the var syntax.
