It would appear that BB has not yet implemented tableviewsections. The error clearly states that the Titanium API function createTableViewSection() is not defined on the picker itself. Is this the expectation? Is this meant to be implemented for 3.1.2? If not, [~bhatfield] is this accounted for in the API docs? If this will not be implemented in 3.1.2, I can write a conditional in the app to only show the single column version on BB.

The Titanium createTableViewSection() was added to master so this needs investigation today.

Application is not crashing. 'tableViewSections' header text not showing issue has been addressed separately. Titanium SDK 3.1.2.v20130808180613 Alloy 1.2.0-alpha6 Appcelerator Studio 3.1.2.201308071912 CLI 3.1.2-alpha Node 0.10.13 Closing.
