    Would you please state your target platform, whether your code is in the app.js file, and would you also provide a working script that demonstrates the issue?

    Then I'll be happy to help :)

    Cheers

    • Note that by using a comment post for this kind of update rather than the answer post, it makes the discussion much easier to following when it's closed.

    • i did a demo app to demonstrate the problem. The focus event works on iPHONE but not on ANDROID. I have it zipped up, but I don't know where to send it. perhaps you have a place for it?

    • Have you confirm whether or not the bug detailed in the ticket I referenced is affecting your situation?

    There may well be a bug with this, so I have updated an closed ticket with some simple code to demonstrate the issue. If you and I haven't made some glaring error, and the bug is confirmed, I imagine that a new ticket will need to be raised. In the meantime watch #727 to keep track of it.

    Do you think you can work around the issue in some other way? If you need help, I will need to see some code to understand what you are trying to achieve.

    Not the answer you probably want, but I hope it is useful to some degree.

      I haven't gone through this list exhaustively, so if you spot a solution or workaround that I've missed, then please let us know.

    • The only ANDROID workaround I can think of at the moment is to add a timer event that refreshes the screen. I have not tried it out yet. Option B would be some kind of picker like what the iPHONE has. But I dont see any pickers on the KS.

  • I put together some demo code illustrating the problem that I am having on ANDROID.
    https://gist.github.com/675571

    I am using the Ti.SDK 1.4.2 ANDROID SDK 2.2 iPhone:4.1

    this demo sometimes crashes on iPHONE, as I just tested it.
    i hope this helps deal with the issue.
