Activity Indicator Text

Hi there,

The iPhone simulator seems to work fine, however there is no text present on my activity indicator as per the below:

var actInd = Titanium.UI.createActivityIndicator({
    bottom:50, 
    height:55,
    width:180,
    color:'#FFFFFF',
    backgroundColor:'#000',
    opacity:0.9,
    borderRadius:5,
    borderColor:'#000',
    font:{fontFamily:'Helvetica Neue', fontSize:13},
    message:' Loading...',
    style:Titanium.UI.iPhone.ActivityIndicatorStyle.PLAIN
});
win.add(actInd);

The indicator is present but not the text. Any ideas?

Many thanks

I have few experiences with spinner text, sometimes it shows but occasional it's not there but was able to get it worked using width = 'auto'

- It does work. But is no one concerned that 'auto' is not necessarily the desired width?

- any permanent fix for this. setting width to auto works, but as Zhenya mentioned, auto is not always the desired width

- One idea is to set it to auto first. Once you call the show() method, set it to the desired width
