Hello, If this is a native Android issue, Then Android has to provide a fix on its update. There is not much we can do here I believe. We will keep it open for other developer having the same issue. Thanks.
Doesn't seem to work correctly on Android 8.0.0, setting the textid directly does work. When you get a string with L('key') it doesn't work, what is strange is that it does seem to work when you run the app with liveview enabled. Is there something wrong with the L function? Test on: Samung s9 (Android 8.0.0) and emulator (Android 8.0.0, 6.0.0). SDK: 7.5.0.GA Example (does need to have the strings.xml file):
Hello [~Pietro], I just wanted to follow up with you about this issue? Are you still experiencing this problem? Please let us know if you need more help with this issue. Thanks
I still have this problem on Android 8.0 and higher. It seems like it's just the L function (or Ti.Locale.getString) that is affected, setting textid on a label does seem to work (see sample above).
Hello, Tested the issue on android 8 device and it seems worked for me. See the attachment section for output. You can also test again from [here ](https://gist.github.com/rakhimonimitro/e0532a843926e1d996e964d87fd0d4ee) and let us know how it goes. Thanks
I've tested it with the sample you provided and it still doesn't work for me with liveview disabled, when I launch the app with liveview enabled it does work. When I disable liveview only the second label changes it's text. I've tested it on a Samsung S9 with Oreo an a simulator with Oreo.
Hello [~teunklijn@telfort.nl], As rakhi posted before the issue works fine with Android 8.0. I tested the issue myself and got the same result. I was able to duplicate the behavior as rakhi. I got the same as the screenshots attached above. Tested with SDK 7.5.0.GA.
