Description

views/index.xml contains:

<Picker class="datePicker" id="observation_date_picker" type="Titanium.UI.PICKER_TYPE_DATE"></Picker>

styles/index.tss contains:

"Picker":{
	width:Titanium.UI.FILL,
	height:Titanium.UI.SIZE,
	selectionIndicator:"true",
	useSpinner:"true",
}
".datePicker":{
	minDate:Alloy.CFG.minDate,
	maxDate:Alloy.CFG.maxDate,
}

Result: Date picker shows as expected. However, when the type definition is moved into the .tss (usual case): views/index.xml contains:

<Picker class="datePicker" id="observation_date_picker"></Picker>

styles/index.tss contains:

"Picker":{
	width:Titanium.UI.FILL,
	height:Titanium.UI.SIZE,
	selectionIndicator:"true",
	useSpinner:"true",
}
".datePicker":{
	type:"Titanium.UI.PICKER_TYPE_DATE",
	minDate:Alloy.CFG.minDate,
	maxDate:Alloy.CFG.maxDate,
}

Result: The entire picker is not displayed at all. The class .datePicker is not defined anywhere else in index.tss. Any attempts to assign a date value to the picker results in an app crash. This was tested on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE running Android 4.3. Project is based on the Default Alloy Project template.

It should be type:Titanium.UI.PICKER_TYPE_DATE not type:"Titanium.UI.PICKER_TYPE_DATE"

   ".datePicker":{
   	type:Titanium.UI.PICKER_TYPE_DATE,
   	minDate:Alloy.CFG.minDate,
   	maxDate:Alloy.CFG.maxDate,
   }
