Description
The code for assigning the parent controller in controllers is hidden. To give developers access to change the parent controller, they should be able to use the tag attribute "parentController" to assign a parent. "BaseController" should be used by default. This attribute should be optional.
index.xml
<Alloy parentController="MyController">
<!-- the rest of the markup -->
</Alloy>
index.js (generated section, not done by developer)
function Controller() {
Alloy.getController('MyController').call(this);
var $ = this;
// the rest of the view and controller code
}
