Ok, I have never really used AsyncToken so I don't really understand the benefits to it. But what would you add to it that would be of any use? Could you not just have an object you pass in the doAction function that is added to the token? I suppose it's all the things I can't think of that make

Has anyone used this? I am having a lot of trouble getting requests to actually send those headers to the server. I'm curious if anyone else has had experience with them. My problem is I cannot authenticate to our remote servers. Some of the servers use Basic Authentication and some use SOAP

I'm going to jump in here and say that if you try binding a very large number of strings you are going to have a performance penalty. I think the only benefit to not using the built in localization and ResourceBundles is a user could switch locales dynamically within the app and not have to reload
