TableViewRow height:'auto' ignores padding values.
Hi.
There seems to be something wrong in the calculation of a tableview's row height when using an additional padding for a label (at least on android).
It seems the padding (top and bottom values) is ignored when when using height:'auto'. Thus text gets cut off at the bottom.
You can see this behaviour in the KitchenSink example 'table_view_auto_height.js'. All code samples below are taken directly from this file.
The auto height TableViewRow is created like this:
data[0] = Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({hasChild:true,height:'auto'});
The auto height text label is added like this:
data[idx].add(Ti.UI.createLabel({
text:text,
height:'auto',
width:'auto',
left:10,
right:50,
top:10,
bottom:10
}));
But the resulting TableViewRow with label gets cut off at the bottom by 20 pixels… is this really desired behaviour?
When setting the labels top and bottom values to 0 (or using a fixed height) the label gets displayed correctly.
Using the toImage() method to calculate the labels actual height as Ryan proposed here, then adding the desired padding value seems a bit over-the-top.
Any other known workarounds?
