[TIMOB-3465] Android: XML Cannot call method parseString if only defined inside an event listener

On Android, If parseString is only defined inside an event listener then you will get an error.

Note

This only happens until you define it outside of the eventListener once. After that it will work fine in that application even if it is inside an event listener. In order to reproduce this error you MUST create a new application.

Step 1: Create a NEW application
Step 2: Paste the example below into app.js
Step 3: Run the app
Step 4: Click 'Find Foo'
Step 5: Notice Runtime Error (picture of error attached)

var xmlString = '<items><foo>FOO</foo><bar>BAR</bar></items>';

var window = Ti.UI.createWindow({
    backgroundColor: 'green'
});

var button = Ti.UI.createButton({
    title: 'Find Foo',
    height: 60,
    width: 100,
  top: 40
});
button.addEventListener('click', function(e){
    var xml = Titanium.XML.parseString(xmlString);
  var element = xml.getElementsByTagName("foo");
  Ti.API.info( element.item(0).text );
});

window.add(button);
window.open();
