Description

Changing the title of the currentTab does not work in iOS or Android. Here is simple example code.

var tabGroup = Titanium.UI.createTabGroup();

var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({

title:'Tab 1',
backgroundColor:'#fff'

}); var tab1 = Titanium.UI.createTab({

icon:'KS_nav_views.png',
title:'Tab 1',
window:win1

});

var button1 = Ti.UI.createButton({

title: 'Change button 1',
left: 10,
top: 100,
width: 200,
height: 50

});

button1.addEventListener('click', function(e){

Ti.UI.currentTab.title = 'New Title 2';

});

win1.add(button1);
tabGroup.addTab(tab1);

tabGroup.open();

I suspect this is a duplication of https://appcelerator.lighthouseapp.com/projects/32238-titanium-mobile/tickets/2361"> #2361, which is another reason why the correct procedure (particularly discussing the issue with the community first) should be followed before raising a ticket

Probably related to other tab issues.

Tested on a Samsung Galaxy S2 and iOS simulator using TiSDK 2.2.0v20120824175712, issue still valid.

   var tabGroup = Titanium.UI.createTabGroup();
   
   var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
       title : 'Tab 1',
       backgroundColor : '#fff'
   });
   
   var tab1 = Titanium.UI.createTab({
       icon : 'KS_nav_views.png',
       title : 'Tab 1',
       window : win1
   });
   
   var button1 = Ti.UI.createButton({
       title : 'Change button 1',
       left : 10,
       top : 100,
       width : 200,
       height : 50
   });
   
   button1.addEventListener('click', function(e)
   {
       tab1.title = 'New Title 2';
   });
   
   win1.add(button1);
   tabGroup.addTab(tab1);
   
   tabGroup.open();
