I'm not able to pick up water or lava in a bucket in either Creative or Survival mode.
Reproduce
1. Fresh install
2. Create New World: Play > New > Creative
3. Find water and select the bucket
4. Single tap on water
Expected Results:
Water block is removed and the bucket turns blue (indicating that it has water in it).
Actual Results:
Water block is removed but the bucket does not show that it has water in it (it does not turn blue). I further tried to place the water (just in case the bucket actually picked up the water), but nothing comes out
I've reproduced this this on my Nexus 5, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10 (all running Android 4.4.2) using completely different maps, and I get the same results.
I have attached one of the maps that I last used in my last test.
The only time that I was successful (in picking up water with an empty bucket), was when I connected (over wifi) to my friend's map.
On all my devices, I have tried killing the app, clear data, uninstall then reinstall, uninstall then delete the /storage/sdcard0/games directory then reinstall. I creating new maps everytime. I have tried flipping the "Split controls" option. With all of this... I still can't ever pick up water or lava in a Bucket.

OK... I JUST found the problem!!!!
It REALLY threw me off that the empty bucket would NOT hold water / lava in creative mode....
Because it was challenging to go find ore and create a bucket in Survival mode, I just tried to reproduce my bucket issue in Creative mode.
I JUST created a new map in Survival mode and got lucky and found ore in 5 digs!! I created a new bucket and it WORKED (the bucket actually held water)!! I then transfered the map to my Nexus 5 and it worked there too! I then went to the Survival mode map, that was not working (my bucket would not hold water), and decided to create a NEW 2nd bucket. The NEW bucket actually held water!! I looked closer at the pixels of the 2 buckets and it appears that I had extra white in the 1st bucket.... I'm realizing that I somehow got milk in it.... hence the reason it would not work to pick up water!
Very confusing.... but now I know how it works... couple things to note that could help in the confusion of this:
1. I should be able to empty a bucket of milk on the ground (and just lose the milk)
2. Maybe my inventory could say "Bucket", "Water Bucket", "Lava Bucket", "Milk Bucket" (as it is in Creative mode)
3. It is not very easy to see the difference between an empty bucket and a bucket with milk in it
So is this still somewhat a valid bug?
On creative this is expected. its supposed to happen
