It does not make sense to use the table height as the row height.

[bijupmb]

for calculating the percentage of height we need the parent view right ?
which we use other than this ?

me use the test case bellow that is working fine

var win=Ti.UI.createWindow();
var tableview=Ti.UI.createTableView({
backgroundColor:'blue'
});
var tableviewrow=Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({
height:'50%',
backgroundColor:'red'
});
var btn = Ti.UI.createButton({
title : '100 %',
height:'100',
width : '150' , top : '110'

});

var btn1 = Ti.UI.createButton({
title : '25 %',
height:'100',
width : '150' , top : '10'

});
var btn300 = Ti.UI.createButton({
title : '300',
height:'100',
width : '150' , top : '210'

});
tableview.setData([tableviewrow]);
win.add(tableview);
win.add(btn);
win.add(btn1);
win.add(btn300);
btn.addEventListener('click', function() {
// Check console
tableviewrow.height = '100%'
});
btn1.addEventListener('click', function() {
// Check console
tableviewrow.height = '25%'
});
btn300.addEventListener('click', function() {
// Check console
tableviewrow.height = '300'
});
win.open();

Yes, we need the dimension of the parent view to calculate the row height. But the solution is not just simply assigning the row height as the table view height. It's not a logical solution. The measure and layout algorithm in Android is complicated. Need more investigation on this issue.
