Which is what I did while waiting for an answer. I know that code duplication is bad, I just needed the best way to fix it. Since java does not support multiple inheritance, creating a superclass just for share the code doesn't feel so natural, which is the reason why I went for the helper class. Many thanks for the complete and detalied answer. Federico -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
