Description

Problem

Windows in tabgroup do not get any event anymore. Specifically the android:back is not caught. The same code works as expected on 1.7.5 (same device)

Test case

Here is a sample app.js to reproduce : 
  var win1 =Ti.UI.createWindow({
  backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF',
  title: 'Win1',
  fullscreen: false,
  navBarHidden: true
});

var tab1 = Ti.UI.createTab({
  title: 'Tab1',
  window: win1
});

var win2 =Ti.UI.createWindow({
  backgroundColor: '#000000',
  title: 'Win2',
  fullscreen: false,
  navBarHidden: true
});
var tab2 = Ti.UI.createTab({
  title: 'Tab2',
  window: win2
});

var tabGroup = Ti.UI.createTabGroup();

tabGroup.addTab(tab1);
tabGroup.addTab(tab2);

tabGroup.open();

win1.addEventListener('android:back', function(){
  Ti.API.info('Win 1 caught android:back');
});

win2.addEventListener('android:back', function(){
  Ti.API.info('Win 2 caught android:back');
});

win1.addEventListener('android:search', function(){
  Ti.API.info('Win 1 caught android:search');
});

win1.addEventListener('android:voldown', function(){
  Ti.API.info('Win 1 caught android:voldown');
});
Note that for standard heavyweight windows (without the tabgroup), it works *as expected* on both 1.8.0.1 and 1.7.5: 
var win1 =Ti.UI.createWindow({
  backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF',
  title: 'Win1',
  fullscreen: false,
  navBarHidden: true
});

win1.open();

win1.addEventListener('android:back', function(){
  Ti.API.info('Win 1 caught android:back');
});

win1.addEventListener('android:search', function(){
  Ti.API.info('Win 1 caught android:search');
});

win1.addEventListener('android:voldown', function(){
  Ti.API.info('Win 1 caught android:voldown');
});

    "TabGroup" component does not support "android:back", could be useful to have that event supported because then we wouldn't have to add "android:back" event to every window in tab group.

    I have tested this and can confirm that it works as expected in 1.7.5 but not in 1.8.0.1 RC3. A standard heavyweight window works as expected for both versions.

    David Thanks for the ticket. Please note the changes I made, to bring it in line with the [JIRA Ticket Checklist](https://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/guides/How+to+Submit+a+Bug+Report#HowtoSubmitaBugReport-JIRATicketChecklist). Cheers

    Bug is still persistant on: SDK build: 1.8.0.1.v20111221194633 Runtime: V8, Rhino Titanium Studio, build: 1.0.7.201112152014 Device: Nexus S (2.3.6) Note: Was not able to reproduce bug in 1.7.5 on Nexus S (2.3.6). And, the standard heavyweight windows code works as expected on 1.8.0.1.v20111221194633 (V8/Rhino) on Nexus S (2.3.6).

    Verified fix on: SDK build: 1.8.0.1.v20111222130907 Runtime: V8, Rhino Titanium Studio, build: 1.0.7.201112152014 Device: Nexus S (2.3.6) Note: * The heavyweight windows code still works as expected on 1.8.0.1.v20111222130907 * Will not close bug until verified in 1.9.0

    Thanks for the incredibly fast fix, you guys are amazing. Sorry about the initial ticket formatting, I wasn't aware of your JIRA checklist... I'll comply with it in the future. Happy holidays !

    I'm continue experimenting same problem with nightly build SDK build: 1.9.0.v20111228180134 Runtime: V8, Rhino Titanium Studio, build: 1.0.7.201112152014 My first window is a modal window with four buttons. If I open a normal window and go back, android:back button works fine. If I open a tabgroup window and go back, android:back button doesn't work and say me "dialog activity is destroyed, unable to show dialog with message". So If I open a tabgroup window and go back, previous activity is destroyed. I have no problem with 1.7.5.

    Hi Lorenzo, Could you please provide an app.js and reproducible steps on the problem you are seeing? I've created a model window that opens a tab group, and back works fine for me. Thanks, Allen

    Ok, here is a simple code of error doing a android:back event after open a tabgroup (fails with 1.8.0.1, and 1.9, works fine with 1.7.5 and early versions of 1.8.0): 
       Titanium.UI.setBackgroundColor('#000');
   
   var main_win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
       title:"test",
       backgroundColor:'#FFF',
       modal: true,
       exitOnClose: true
   });
   
   main_win.addEventListener('android:back', function(e) {
   	var msg_pregunta = Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog({
   		title:"Quit",
   		message:"Do yo want to quit?"
   	});
   	msg_pregunta.buttonNames = ['OK','Cancelar'];
   
   	msg_pregunta.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
   		if(e.index==0){
   			main_win.close();
   		}
   	});
   	msg_pregunta.show();
   });
   
   var btn_asterisk = Titanium.UI.createButton({
      title:'Asterisk',
      height:Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformHeight * 0.22,
      width:Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformWidth * 0.35,
      left:Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformWidth * 0.10,
      top:Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformHeight * 0.58,
   });
   
   btn_asterisk.addEventListener('click', function(){
   	Titanium.include('app_asterisk.js');
   });
   
   main_win.add(btn_asterisk);
   
   main_win.open();
   
       var tabGroup = Titanium.UI.createTabGroup();
   
   var win_llamadas = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
       title:'Calls',
       backgroundColor:'#000',
   });
   var tab1 = Titanium.UI.createTab({  
       icon:'images/KS_nav_views.png',
       title:'Calls',
       window:win_llamadas
   });
   
   var win_buzon = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
       title:'Inbox',
       backgroundColor:'#000',
   });
   var tab2 = Titanium.UI.createTab({  
       icon:'images/KS_nav_ui.png',
       title:'Inbox',
       window:win_buzon
   });
   
   var win_listanegra = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
       title:'Black list',
       backgroundColor:'#000',
   });
   
   var tab3 = Titanium.UI.createTab({  
       icon:'images/KS_nav_ui.png',
       title:'Black list',
       window:win_listanegra
   });
   
   tabGroup.addTab(tab1);
   tabGroup.addTab(tab2);
   tabGroup.addTab(tab3);
   
   tabGroup.open();

    Closing bug. Already verified in 1.8.0.1.
  11. Lorenzo 2012-02-01

    In 1.8.1 version itsn't fixed. Same problem. If you open a heavyweight window after a normal window. Android back event itn's fired. Refer to my example in the third post up.
