• did u set this?

  label.height = 'auto'
  

• Found an answer to my problem.

  Though, it´s a quite simple (and dirty!) … call it a hack :)

  function evalStrings(string) {
      eval('result="'+string+'"');
      return result;
  }
  text    = evalStrings(row.fieldByName('simple_text'));
  

  This code should treat some \n and stuff as if you´d write them by hand.
  They come out as expected…

  Please let me know if you have solved this differently.
  Cheers.

• Actually, the correct answer is:

  text = row.fieldByName('simple_text').replace(/\n/g, "\n");

• Yes, I did.
  My code as follows:

  var label = Titanium.UI.createLabel({
          text:row.fieldByName('text'),
          height:'auto',
          width:'auto',
          highlightedColor: '#fff',
          top: 10,
          bottom: 10,
          left: 10,
          right: 10,
          font : {
              fontSize : 12
          }
      });
  

• Any output coming from database seems to be escaped, so that any newlines and carriage returns do not work.
  Does someone know a way to solve this, to make newlines work?
