Radio buttons are more appropriate in this case than a checkbox, but yeah, basically the same idea.
I was going down the route of making and managing a view, but in poking around the APIDemos sample, the single item list sample looked appropriate for this case, until I wasn't able to default the selected button except on creation. It's actually good to hear the "Android way" doesn't include hacking around IDs -- but at the same time, wish it was easier to just set the defaulted button in a list. Ok, back to making & managing my view for a dialog. Thanks for the info.
