Problem

On Android using borderColor on a view results in the view being completely filled with the borderColor.

Tested On

All tests were done with Titanium Mobile SDK 1.5.1
On iOS this code produces a 200x300 box with rounded corners and a blue border.
On Android this code produces a solid 200x300 blue box with rounded corners.

Sample Code

   var borderWindow = Ti.UI.createWindow({
        height: 200,
        width: 300,
        top: 20
   });
    
   var borderView = Ti.UI.createView({
        height: 200,
        width: 300,
        top: 0,
        borderRadius: 10,
        borderWidth: 2,
        borderColor: 'blue',
        textAlign: 'center',
        /*backgroundColor: 'white',*/ /* Adding "backgroundColor: 'white'" to the borderView, produces the same box but with a lighter blue due to the "opacity: '.6'" property. */
        opacity: '.6'
   });
    
   borderWindow.add(borderView);
   borderWindow.open();
