Description

ListView - crashes when using bindId="description" When I use the bindId "description" the app crashes. I guess you either map it to the objc description class method or similar restricted predefined key. Example:

<Alloy>
	<Window id="win">
		<ListView id="listView" defaultItemTemplate="myCustomTemplat">
			<Templates>
				<ItemTemplate name="myCustomTemplate">
					<Label id="title" bindId="title" />
					<Label id="description" bindId="description" />
				</ItemTemplate>
			</Templates>
			
			<ListSection>
				<ListItem title:text="Hello appx" description:text="this is some text"/>
				<ListItem title:text="This is a bug" description:text="this is some text 2"/>
			</ListSection>
		</ListView>
	</Window>
</Alloy>

This crashes.

Resolving as invalid, "description" is an internal reserved word.

Hi Pedro, Thats also super nice. But please document it then. I used several hours looking through my app, before figuring this out.

[~penrique] can't we include a constant with these reserved keywords in the SDK and simply check against them in cases like these so we can inform the user instead of just crashing?
