Description

When a window containing a map view is closed on android, it crashes with the exception included below. This used to work fine in 5.1.2. To close the window just use the device back button (closing the window programatically, i.e. using the action bar home button causes the same effect). Below I include a test case. Please note that you will have to configure some valid API KEY in your tiapp.xml file in order to test it

var Map = require('ti.map');

// Build main window

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({});
var openMapButton = Ti.UI.createButton({title: 'open map'});
win.add(openMapButton);

openMapButton.addEventListener('click', function() {
	var mapWin = createMapWin();

	mapWin.addEventListener('close', function() {
		// This code never runs. Using sdk 5.1.2.GA runs fine.
		alert('this wont trigger');
	});
	mapWin.open();
});


// Build map window

function createMapWin() {
	var mapWin = Ti.UI.createWindow();
	var resultsMapview = Map.createView({
		mapType: Map.NORMAL_TYPE
	});

	mapWin.add(resultsMapview);

	return mapWin;
}

win.open();

Here is the exception rised.

seems that problem is solved with Ti.Map 2.3.6, I didn't realized that there was a newer version than 2.3.4 till now.
