    Did this used to work in iOS 6 or a previous version of the Titanium SDK? Is this possible natively with such a long piece of text?
  2. Jason Kotchoff 2013-10-10

    Yep. Run the code on an iOS 6.1 or android simulator/device and it works fine.
  3. Jason Kotchoff 2013-10-10

    However, i don't know whether it works on iOS7 if it's run in a native app (without titanium).

    Hello Jason, you should create a custom dialog to implement this, providing a scrollable view for all your text and two buttons as your image. Check this code: https://developer.appcelerator.com/question/152503/creating-a-custom-dialog In native, Apple expects you to create a custom UI element for that kind of usage. Best, Mauro

    Hi Mauro, That's exactly the technique I used as a workaround in the issue description (follow the gist link and view iOS7CompatibleTitaniumAlertDialog.js). This problem should not however, require a custom implementation. According to your API, a standard alert dialog should support this functionality: http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/api/Titanium.UI.AlertDialog As such, there is in fact a bug with the way a Titanium.UI.AlertDialog is rendering certain long strings. This may or may not be a bug with the underlying iOS API but it's definitely a bug. Regards, Jason
