Description

Problem Description

Label will fail in ALLOY in Android. The above in an alloy xml works correctly for iOS, but not android.

TESTING ENVIRONMENT:

Titanium SDK: 3.2.3.GA and 3.3.0.GA Titanium CLI: 3.3.0 OS X Version: 10.9.3 Android API Level: 17 and 19 iOS: 7.1.2 Alloy: 1.4.1

TEST CODE:

index.xml

 
<Alloy>
    <Window backgroundColor="#fff" >
        <Label top="25" color="#000" textid="Label TextID" />
    </Window>
</Alloy>

STEPS TO TEST:

- Create a simple alloy project. - Update index.xml with test code - Run on iOS device/simulator, works fine - Run on android device/emulator, it’s not working

The string names (textid value) should not include spaces: textid="Label TextID" is invalid. The fact that it works on iOS is because that platform natively handles internationalization strings differently. For Android, you must use UTF-8 strings, with no spaces.
