Description
This is app.js
{noformat}
(function() {
var window = Ti.UI.createWindow({exitOnClose:true});
var textField = Ti.UI.createTextField({top: 80, left: 10, right: 10, height: 200});
window.add(textField);
window.open();
})();
{noformat}
Just put some text in the textField and long press on it.
This is the stack dump:

I tried this test case on Samsung Galaxy Nexus device and I am unable to reproduce it. Call stack indicates that it is a native Android exception so it may be specific to a particular device. Would you be able to test it on a different device?
Couldn't reproduce with Samsung Note (1) running CM9.
I reproduce the bug on a Nexus 7 2nd Gen, and I got this message on the dbms: 10-15 12:05:14.453: E/RichInputConnection(783): Unable to connect to the editor to retrieve text. The solution I found is to override the 'longclick' listener for the TextField: textFieldName.addEventListener('longclick', function(e){ Ti.API.info('Anything you want to control'); }); And the listener prevents the crash on Android textFields, the issue can't be reproduced on iOS.
Another workaround is to define the android windowActionBar to false, with this, when we perform a longpress event on the text field will display the action bar and that prevent the bug.
