[android-developers] Re: Honeycomb -- Activity.getIntent().getExtras().getString() encountering race condition?

I noticed I forgot to mention, I do not actually use those lines of

because I had a hunch about it being a race condition...
I never use that String, I left the original code in place.... :D

Peace,
Dan
