Problem

When opening a window and focusing a text field, the events that fire are very inconsistent across Android and iOS. One way they are inconsistent is that Android will bubble events out, while iOS does not.

For example... you open a window, and click in a text field.

On iOS, the events fire in this order: window focus, textfield focus.

On Android, the events fire in this order: textfield focus, window focus, textfield click, window click.

Expected Behavior

Events should be consistent across the platforms. Perhaps it could be optional to turn on event bubbling on iOS, and it could be made optional by default on Android as well.

Tested On

Titanium Mobile 1.6.0 1/19/11
iPhone Simulator 4.2
Android Simulator 2.2

Sample Code

Attached. Follow the instructions in the Ti.UI.Label created by the app, and look at the Ti Developer console to see when events are firing and if they are expected or not.

In the iPhone simulator, my console showed the following:

[INFO] PASS: window-focus fired
[ERROR] FAIL: Skipped expected textfield-click
[INFO] PASS: textfield-focus fired

Android showed the following:

[ERROR] [2257,2269] FAIL: textfield-focus fired when expected window-focus
[INFO] [4,2273] PASS: window-focus fired
[INFO] [4,2741] PASS: textfield-click fired
[ERROR] [29,2770] FAIL: window-click fired when expected textfield-focus
