Ti.UI.Picker.setSelectedRow() not working

I just started using Appcelerator these last few days. I am trying to add a Picker object to the page, populated with two columns of data. I would like to have default (aka pre-selected) rows for each column, and tried to do this like so:

picker.setSelectedRow(0,3);
picker.setSelectedRow(1,2);

I also tried setting the selected: attribute directly while creating the PickerRow objects. However, neither method is working. I've tried the setSelectedRow() method both before and after adding it to the window. Any ideas?
Thanks for the help!

    This seems to be a known bug. I recently ran into it with my project, and had to move setSelected() into the 'open' event of the current window, like so:

    Ti.UI.currentWindow.addEventListener('open', function() {
      picker.setSelectedRow(0, 2, true);
});

    • I just had to do this too. That answer is 11 months old and this still hasn't been fixed? Oy.

    • Today, I just stumbled on this bug. Took me half an hour to discover it was a bug instead of a code error.

    • I should clarify my earlier comment, it only works the first time.
      But afterwards it doesn't work, all pickers are set to row = 0.

      I'm making the call using the 'focus' event. Works the 1st time I open the window, but if I close it (to go back to its parent) and then return, the event fires, method is executed, but pickers remain on row = 0.
