Description

In the new Alloy 1.2.0 it is possible to define ListView ItemTemplates in the View.xml (#ALOY-608)

<Alloy>
    <ListView id="list" defaultItemTemplate="track">
        <Templates>
            <ItemTemplate name="track" >
                <ImageView bindId="avatar" class="avatar" />
            </ItemTemplate>
        </Templates>
    </ListView>
</Alloy>

You can't use Ti.UI.View with child Views however. (It works without child Views though) Works:

<Alloy>
    <ListView id="list" defaultItemTemplate="track">
        <Templates>
            <ItemTemplate name="track" >
                <View />
            </ItemTemplate>
        </Templates>
    </ListView>
</Alloy>

Does not work:

<Alloy>
    <ListView id="list" defaultItemTemplate="track">
        <Templates>
            <ItemTemplate name="track" >
                <View>
                    <ImageView bindId="avatar" class="avatar" />
                </View>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </Templates>
    </ListView>
</Alloy>

This can be solved to allow further nesting of childTemplates. See http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/guide/ListViews-section-37521650_ListViews-ItemTemplate It might be that it is already implemented, but that I hit a bug, because the generated code fails on:

var __alloyId32={type:'Ti.UI.View',var __alloyId33=[]

[ERROR] :  Alloy compiler failed

PR: https://github.com/appcelerator/alloy/pull/155 test app: https://github.com/appcelerator/alloy/tree/master/test/apps/testing/ALOY-678 This test will functionally pass simply by running on both iOS and Android, showing all of the ugly, nested rows contained in the app. I attached 2 screenshots to show the expected state of the loaded app on android and ios.
