		"description": "*Summary:*\r\nWhile a {{TextArea}} object's property \"editable\" is set to {{false}}, end-users cannot tap to select text like how it works on iOS. This is a parity issue.\r\n\r\nNote that the {{TextArea}} is not disabled. The end-user can scroll the content. The issue is that no cursor is shown and it's impossible for the end-user to make cursor selections. (However, the {{setSelection()}} method works and text selections can be made programmatically.)\r\n\r\n*Steps to reproduce:*\r\n# Build and run the below code on Android.\r\n# Tap and hold on a word in the {{TextArea}}.\r\n# Notice that no selection was made. _(This is the issue.)_\r\n\r\n{code:javascript}\r\nvar window = Ti.UI.createWindow();\r\nvar textArea = Ti.UI.createTextArea({\r\n\tvalue: \"Line 1\\nLine 2\\nLine 3\\nLine 4\\nLine 5\\nLine 6\\nLine 7\\nLine 8\",\r\n\teditable: false,\r\n\tsuppressReturn: false,\r\n\tleft: \"20dp\",\r\n\tright: \"20dp\",\r\n\theight: \"100dp\",\r\n});\r\nwindow.add(textArea);\r\nwindow.open();\r\n{code}\r\n\r\n*Note:*\r\nOn iOS, if {{TextField}} property \"editable\" is set {{false}}, then the end-user is unable to tap to select text either. So, in this case, both Android and iOS are in parity. I think this is the \"native\" iOS behavior, although it is inconsistent with iOS' own {{TextArea}} behavior.\r\n\r\n*Cause:*\r\nTitanium is calling {{setCursorVisible(false)}} in the Java {{TiUIText.handleKeyboard()}} method below.\r\n[TiUIText.java#L650|https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/3b75bf2b9f9733bca93ad22d738fea0525da9431/android/modules/ui/src/java/ti/modules/titanium/ui/widget/TiUIText.java#L650]\r\n\r\nBut since iOS' {{TextField}} does not allow text selection while \"editable\" is {{false}}, Android should continue to call {{setCursorVisible(false)}} only for the single-line {{TextField}} case.\r\n",
