Description

This is regression. The issue does not exist on 3.0.2. But the textfield in tableviewrow is never editable on any build. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an application with code below and launch the application 2. Click on any row in the tableview Actual: Softkeyboard appears but disappears immediately. Expected: Softkeyboard should not disappear immediately. It should disappear when click return on the keyboard.

var _window = Ti.UI.createWindow();
_window.fullscreen = false;
        _window.backgroundColor = 'white';
         
        var tableView = Ti.UI.createTableView({
            top : '0dp',
            bottom : '0dp',
            left : '0dp',
            right : '0dp'
        });
         
        var numRows = 15;
        var rows = [];
        for (var i = 0; i < numRows; i++){
            var tableViewRow = Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({
                height : 'auto'
            });
             
            var textField = Ti.UI.createTextField({
                top:'0dp',
                left : '5dp',
                right : '5dp',
                borderColor : '#CCCCCC',
                borderStyle : Ti.UI.INPUT_BORDERSTYLE_BEZEL
            });
             
            tableViewRow.add(textField);
             
            rows.push(tableViewRow);
        }
        tableView.data = rows;
        _window.add(tableView);
        _window.open();

This is not a regression bug. This behavior change is due to the [PR#3515](https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/3515) which fixed TIMOB-6367. When the textfield is clicked, it gains the focus so the softkeyboard shows and the table view needs to re-layout. After re-layout, everything is re-drawn and the textfield loses the focus so the softkeyboard hides. If we want to edit the textfield in the tableview, we need to set "windowSoftInputMode: Ti.UI.Android.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN" when creating the window. An example is attached at the end. This is a native android behavior. Similar discussion is [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5615436/when-the-soft-keyboard-appears-it-makes-my-edittext-field-lose-focus).

   var _window = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   	windowSoftInputMode : Ti.UI.Android.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN
   });
   _window.fullscreen = false;
   _window.backgroundColor = 'white';
   
   var tableView = Ti.UI.createTableView({
   	top : '0dp',
   	bottom : '0dp',
   	left : '0dp',
   	right : '0dp'
   });
   
   var numRows = 15;
   var rows = [];
   for (var i = 0; i < numRows; i++) {
   	var tableViewRow = Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({
   		height : 'auto'
   	});
   
   	var textField = Ti.UI.createTextField({
   		top : '0dp',
   		left : '5dp',
   		right : '5dp',
   		borderColor : '#CCCCCC',
   		softKeyboardOnFocus : Titanium.UI.Android.SOFT_KEYBOARD_SHOW_ON_FOCUS,
   		borderStyle : Ti.UI.INPUT_BORDERSTYLE_BEZEL
   	});
   
   	tableViewRow.add(textField);
   
   	rows.push(tableViewRow);
   }
   tableView.data = rows;
   _window.add(tableView);
   _window.open();
