Description

When custom event is fired on iOS it is executed with some delay (waits until the executing context has finished). On the contrary, when custom event is fired on Android the event handler executes immediately without waiting for the current executing context to finish. Issue can be seen with the following sample:

var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
    backgroundColor:'red'
});

var btn = Ti.UI.createButton({
	width : 100,
	height : 100,
	title : "Click Me"
});

btn.addEventListener("click", function() {
	
	for (var i = 1; i < 6; i++) {
		Ti.API.info(i);
	}
	
	// event is only fired here. should not be executed immidiately
	Ti.App.fireEvent("myEvent", {prop1 : "prop1"});
	
	for (var i = 6; i < 11; i++) {
		Ti.API.info(i);
	}
});


Ti.App.addEventListener("myEvent", function(args) {
	Ti.API.info("Executing the event handler now...");
});

win.add(btn);
win.open();

which produces the following output:
