Description

*Note* This issue did not occur on iOS Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a default app in Ti Studio 2. Enable it for alloy 3. In the index.js file change the code to the following


var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
		height: 100,
                backgroundColor : '#000'
	});
$.index.add(win);

$.index.open();

4. In the file index.xml remove the line for the hello world label so there is only one xml tag for the "container" window 5. Run the app Actual result: The app will fail to start and give an error *See attached log file* Expected result: The app launches normally

Tony Lukasavage 2012-07-27 I'll check into this ASAP
Tony Lukasavage 2012-07-27 It is a documented issue that top-level containers should not be added as children to other container views. Check the documentation for the add() function of Ti.UI.Window: http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/2.1/index.html#!/api/Titanium.UI.Window From the docs: {quote} There are certain top-level containers that are not intended to be added as the children of other views. These top-level containers include Window, SplitWindow, and TabGroup. Other types of views must be added to a top-level container in order to be displayed on screen. {quote}
