var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
    backgroundColor: '#0f0',
    navBarHidden: true
});
    
var table = Ti.UI.createTableView({
    backgroundColor: '#f00'

var rows = [];
   
for (var i = 0; i < 100; ++i) {
    rows[i] = Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({ title: 'Row ' + i });
}

table.data = rows;
    
Ti.API.info(rows.length); //100
Ti.API.info(table.data.length); //1
    
win.add(table);
    
win.open();
