[TIMOB-18177] Android: Search on listview crashes app

Problem Description

On Android searching with a SearchView attached to a listview that uses templates causes the app to crash. Works fine on iOS and interestingly on Genymotion S5 emulator. But crashes on device. The error log is below. Maybe related to this forum post [https://developer.appcelerator.com/question/173280/search-alloy-collection-in-listview-using-template]

Test Case

1. Create a new mobile project ( Classic Titanium ) 2. Copy this code into app.js

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({backgroundColor: 'white'});

var myTemplate = {
    childTemplates: [
        {                            
            type: 'Ti.UI.ImageView', 
            bindId: 'pic',           
            properties: {            
                width: '50dp', height: '50dp', left: 0
            }
        },
        {                          
            type: 'Ti.UI.Label',     
            bindId: 'info',         
            properties: {           
                color: 'black',
                font: { fontFamily:'Arial', fontSize: '20dp', fontWeight:'bold' },
                left: '60dp', top: 0,
            }
        },
        {                            
            type: 'Ti.UI.Label',     
            bindId: 'es_info',       
            properties: {           
                color: 'gray',
                font: { fontFamily:'Arial', fontSize: '14dp' },
                left: '60dp', top: '25dp',
            }
        }
    ]
};

search = Ti.UI.Android.createSearchView({
        hintText: "Table Search"
    });
    
var listView = Ti.UI.createListView({
    templates: { 'template': myTemplate },
    defaultItemTemplate: 'template',
    searchView:search
});
var sections = [];

var fruitSection = Ti.UI.createListSection({ headerTitle: 'Fruits / Frutas'});
var fruitDataSet = [
    { info: {text: 'Apple'}, es_info: {text: 'Manzana'}, pic: {image: 'apple.png'}},
    { info: {text: 'Banana'}, es_info: {text: 'Banana'}, pic: {image: 'banana.png'}}
];
fruitSection.setItems(fruitDataSet);
sections.push(fruitSection);

var vegSection = Ti.UI.createListSection({ headerTitle: 'Vegetables / Verduras'});
var vegDataSet = [
    { info: {text: 'Carrot'}, es_info: {text: 'Zanahoria'}, pic: {image: 'carrot.png'}},
    { info: {text: 'Potato'}, es_info: {text: 'Patata'}, pic: {image: 'potato.png'}}
];
vegSection.setItems(vegDataSet);
sections.push(vegSection);

var grainSection = Ti.UI.createListSection({ headerTitle: 'Grains / Granos'});
var grainDataSet = [
    { info: {text: 'Corn'}, es_info: {text: 'Maiz'}, pic: {image: 'corn.png'}},
    { info: {text: 'Rice'}, es_info: {text: 'Arroz'}, pic: {image: 'rice.png'}}
];
grainSection.setItems(grainDataSet);
sections.push(grainSection);

listView.setSections(sections);
win.add(listView);
win.open();
