更新appcelerator导致android应用崩溃

Question

I am having issues with appcelerator, anybody with pervious experience had any issues with it? if it wasn't for a 3 year project on appcelerator I would have switched. Anyway i believe to have fixed the error just need clarifying why i need to change this now when it worked perfectly before. This is the error that appears when I try and load a new window.

[ERROR] :  TiExceptionHandler: (main) [6174,104116] ----- Titanium Javascript Runtime Error -----
[ERROR] :  TiExceptionHandler: (main) [1,104117] - In ti:/view.js:19,10
[ERROR] :  TiExceptionHandler: (main) [0,104117] - Message: Uncaught Error: Cannot add window/tabGroup to a view.
[ERROR] :  TiExceptionHandler: (main) [1,104118] - Source:          throw new Error("Cannot add window/tabGroup to a view.");

to fix the issue I have to switch all of my tags from <Window> to <View> . I believe the issue is to do with the fact you can't have two windows loaded at the same time, I just need clarification why it now suddenly has stopped working!!!

UPDATE

When I change the xml to <View> the android app will run fine, however this causes the iOS app to now no run, any ideas?

Answer 1

So the error is pretty straightforward, you cannot add a <Window> to a View. So... the root needs to be either a <Window> or <NavigationWindow> . On Android the navigationWindow doesn't exist. So you need to have Android specific UI, or iOS specific UI. You can also use the commonJS module xp.ui for Titanium to get NavigationWindow to work on Android: https://github.com/FokkeZB/UTiL/blob/master/docs/xp.ui.md (just follow instructions how to install).

An app needs a Window or NavigationWindow as a root to work properly. So... having neither of these will make the app not work.

So I recommend the module, and then use NavigationWindow > Window construction.
