Description

Currently, only Ti.UI.SearchBar has an hintTextid property. All other views that have hintText properties (e.g. Ti.UI.TextField) should have this property as well.

    Just ran into this issue and would like to fix it. I will expose (all lowercase to match current style): - Ti.UI.TextField.hinttextid - Ti.UI.AlertDialog.hinttextid - Ti.UI.AlertDialog.loginhinttextid - Ti.UI.AlertDialog.passwordhinttextid

    PR: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/8224 Demo:

    Create a new project (appc new)

    Create the file app/i18n/en/strings.xml and copy the following into it:

       <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <resources>
   	<string name="enter_email">Enter E-Mail ...</string>
   	<string name="enter_password">Enter Password ...</string>	
   </resources>
    After that, copy the following into the app/controllers/index.js 
       var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   	backgroundColor : "#ccc",
   }); 
    
   win.add(Ti.UI.createTextField({
   	hinttextid: "enter_email",
   	width: 300,
   	height: 40,
   	color: "#333",
   	hintTextColor: "#f00",
   	backgroundColor: "#fff",
   	top: 50
   }));
    
   if (Ti.Platform.osname !== 'android') {	
   	var btn = Ti.UI.createButton({
   		title : "Open Dialog",
   		top: 140
   	});
   	 
   	btn.addEventListener("click", function() {		
   		var alert = Ti.UI.createAlertDialog({
   			style: Ti.UI.iOS.AlertDialogStyle.LOGIN_AND_PASSWORD_INPUT,
   			loginhinttextid: "enter_email",
   			passwordhinttextid: "enter_password",
   			title: "Enter your credentials",
   			buttonNames: ["Cancel", "Send"]
   		});
   		alert.show();
   	});
   	 
   	win.add(btn);
   }
   
   win.open();

    [~mchen] What exactly did not work? Did you ensure to include the localized file in your project before? And make sure your device is running the same locale as you specify in the i18n folders.

    For Windows: First, implement hintText for SearchBar (TIMOB-24795) Then add hinttexid to TextField and SearchBar. We should do this for the 6.2.0 timeframe also
