• Spoke too soon, adding more views to scrollview froze running on device after a couple loop, and you can't even load the app after that. No error, no nothing, just choke. Rolling back to 1.3.3 and it's running ok on device. Looks like a very serious memory issue adding more views to scrollview, dynamically, on 1.4.

• I am having the exact same problem, I am adding multiple imageViews to a scrollView in a loop. This worked fine on 1.3 and now just hangs on 1.4.

• Try adding the scrollview to the window first and then add the views to it. That worked for me to workaround the issue.

• An update to dynamic add views to scrollview bugs on 1.4

  I decided not to pursue the adding new views, the problem is when it failed, the app froze, and user can't even reopen the app on next try. A crash would be just fine :)

  Anyway, Instead adding more views. I code the hard way, transform it into a paging gallery. The image gallery is paginated into 20 thumbnails each loop, next or pre page would replace current set thumnails. That seems to work ok.

• Having exact the same problem on device only. It hangs in the loop and even reboots my device! (iPod Touch 3G).

  It was working perfectly before the iOS4 update. A lot of my users are having problems now.

• Has anyone found a work around or solution to this issue? I opened a ticket, but have not received a response yet.

• This now is an official bug at Lighthouse. Looks like it will be fixed in 1.5..

• I think I have a work around for this issue and maybe this will help some of you. I'm doing something similar where I dynamically add new views to my scroll view based on new updates from a website, sort of like adding new content to a rolling rss feed reader. What I did is this:

  App.loadTimedEventList = function (newSampleArrayList) {
          // Get the location of the last element in the scroll view to start adding new elements
      var top = this.sampleScrollViewItems.length  * 110;    /* 110 is the height of the view in the list */
  
         // Delete any elements that were left (if any) from the last addition
      this.newScrollViewItems = [];
  
          // loop through and add the new items to array (each item is a Ti.UI.View element)
      for (var i = 0; i < newSampleArrayList.length; ++i){
          var item = App.createViewItem(0,  (i * 110) + top );
          this.newscrollItems.push(item);
      }
  
         // now we loop and create a timer to execute adding the elements to the scrollview 1 second apart
      for (var k =0; k < eventList.length; k++) {
          setTimeout(function () {
              sampleScrollView.fireEvent('addItem');
          }, (k + 1) * 1000);
      }
  };
  
  // .....  Some lines on UP (this code here would be defined up higher in the file)
  
  var sampleScrollView = Ti.UI.createScrollView({...});
  
  // This code will execute on the timer 1sec apart
  sampleScrollView.addEventListener('addItem', function(e) {
          // get the item out of this list
      var item = App.newScrollViewItems.pop();
  
          // add it to the control
      this.sampleScrollViewItems.push(item);
        sampleScrollView.add(item);
  });
  
   //
  

  Hope this helps anyone!
