Hi Thomas, AHHA !! Thank you very much!! Finally I understood it!! I owe you one.
I think I was getting confused with the term "activity". You helped me clear the doubt that my presenter can act itself as a presenter or presenter + activity together. Now I understood what you meant by "mock HasXxxHandlers" and why it is so painful. Seriously thanks a bunch! I appreciate it and that's what I love about this community.
