[android-developers] Re: standalone popup: UI question

Hey John,

The only way to learn a lot of stuff is to browse the Android source
tree (http://source.android.com/source/index.html) I think the tree
is down right now. This source code should be easily adaptable into a
ListView, I actually have an implementation of it in a project
ListViewDialog, but it isn't on this PC.

To me, it feels exactly like CSS doesn't work the same on all phones &
99% of the time it feels like a hack job getting something working
correctly :P.

If you're early into Android development, my tool is clutch in saving
your wrists: http://www.ryangmattison.com/page/Lazy-Android-Code-Gen-Android-findViewById-carpal-tunnel-syndrome-eclipse.aspx

All you need to do is drag and drop the eclipse install button into
your environment. It has a youtube video explaining what to do. This
will save you a lot of trial and error time.

Thanks,

Ryan
