Really guys? How about we save our energy for answering questions, not bitching back and forth.............. and that way we can hopefully improve this 50% unanswered situation. I don't know about you guys, but I read through the entire list of topics every day and if any title sounds like a question I can answer, I chip in. I'm no Android expert, but I have learned quite a bit in my experience with it and I love sharing what I've learned when I can. We also all must understand that a lot of us on this list have full-time development jobs and therefore either don't have much time to work on outside things [like helping others] or simply have little-to-no desire to do more coding after coming home from a long day of coding at work. [Don't tell, but I spend a nice portion of my time at work browsing the group.. hehe!]
Don: Have you found the solution to your problem yet? I have yet to build a single-choice ListView, but I bet one of the stock Android apps has one of those in it, and all of the source code for those apps [like Email, Messaging, Clock, etc] is available freely from Google. These source packages are a GREAT source for us developers. Hope this helps. -Nick On Apr 7, 5:57 pm, DonFrench <dcfre...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I don't know what "light up a radio button" means for example). > > REALLY???
