Text Area throws an exception

I have seen numerous people post that adding a TextArea causes their application to crash.

When I add the lines in this pastebin http://pastebin.com/dh6C2VuU

I am not able to start my application, but when I remove them everything works fine. I pasted this content from an example on the API and it just doesn't appear to work.

Any ideas what is wrong?

  • Where did you get these properties?

    appearance:Titanium.UI.KEYBOARD_APPEARANCE_ALERT,
    keyboardType:Titanium.UI.KEYBOARD_NUMBERS_PUNCTUATION,
    returnKeyType:Titanium.UI.RETURNKEY_EMERGENCY_CALL,
    

    I don't see them here… Do you?

    PS - The "Code Example" at the bottom is wrong. Don't use that :P

    Take out those 3 properties and it should work.

    • I tried removing those values, no luck.

      I found my example here: http://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/master/demos/KitchenSink/Resources/examples/textarea.js

      I also tried the code at the bottom of this documentation page:
      http://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/mobile/latest/Titanium.UI.TextArea-object

      Very bottom under code examples.

      I am using the CI Build of 1.4.1 - should I be using a different build?

  • I have no problems adding text area. I test it on an ipod OS 3.1.3 and and 3GS iSO4.1

    Maybe something not relating to textarea?

    • Odd that everything works fine without this text area. Can you paste me a sample of your text area that you use? With properties?
