Button font size on backgroundSelectedColor

[caspahouzer]

If I run this code on iOS...

<Alloy>
	<Window>
		<View layout="vertical" height="Ti.UI.SIZE">
			<Button backgroundColor="#8fb63e" top="10" height="40" width="300">This is a test</Button>
			<Button backgroundColor="#8fb63e" top="10" height="40" width="300" backgroundSelectedColor="red">This is a test</Button>
		</View>
	</Window>
</Alloy>

the fontsize on the second button differs to the first as you can see in the image

I filed a Jira issue for that. But maybe someone has an idea how to fix that quick

You should have open an issue, not a discussion.
Also, attached app sample is usually in "classic Titanium", not Alloy (unless it is Alloy related issue).

I remember a few years ago, I was helping a junior developer..

And he wanted to extract a piece code that he thought was causing the problem in a larger function.

I told him that I wanted to see the whole function.. It was only like 30 or 40 lines of code.

Anyway.. just by doing a quick scan of the code, I toll him "Your are missing a semicolon in line XX".

After adding the semicolon and running the function, everything was working correctly...

He was struggling for almost an hour.. and just for missing a semicolon!!

It was in PHP and he didn't understand the error message.

We've all been there!!! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

My point is that by showing the ORIGINAL code.. people with more experience or that have encountered the same problem can help out easily!!!

I think the point here is just: the problem is not in the code but inside the SDK. So if you paste the responsible JAVA lines/code it the same as you are saying. But here the code is just to show the actual bug. And the quicker people can run the code to reproduce the error (that is somewhere inside the SDK/JAVA code) its easier to fix it 😉
As it was mentioned in the original reply: if it is an Alloy error its fine, if not: the appc devs can test it with Alloy code too but the setup is a bit more and perhaps you miss some styles or code in the controller that is missing in the Alloy view example.

Anyway: there is a bug somewhere here: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/5c5efc067ba1f1ba3a3bfce03ade762634e9465a/android/titanium/src/java/org/appcelerator/titanium/view/TiUIView.java#L1413-L1427 / in applyCustomBackground I guess 😄

That is fine if don't know what is going on.

But then we are talking about bug report you should provide minimal reproducible example (aka MWE). Especially with this project: there are too few developers and too much work for them. By providing code in Ti Classic you are really helping yourself to get fix quicker.

@Topener

Maybe you need to add more categories so people can place their questions in the proper place ??

Alloy, Classic or Native Code ??

Just a thought!! 🙂

[Topener]

@macCesar that's absolutely something we can look into, but I think the volume of questions isn't big enough to split it up just yet

Does just setting a font work? https://titaniumsdk.com/api/titanium/ui/button.html#font

[caspahouzer]

Yes. If I set fontSize for the button, it works as expected

[macCesar]

But the question remains... Why the change in font size and color just by setting selectedBackgroundColor?

[Topener]

That is a good question, but that is a bugreport worthy! This question was purely to find a workaround for the bug
