The Canvas API for drawing circles isn't too bad -- I used it for drawing numbered dots on a MapView layer -- but if it gives you enough grief, and you only need 20-30 different colors, PNGs might still be an option. > (I assume you are paid by Google for your help, right?) : Who, me?

I don't doubt that's your perspective today. However, I'm an old enough fogey to remember when MFC came out, and back before then. For me, Android, for its age, is a pleasant rolling hill compared to MFC's Mt. Kilimanjaro at that same age. Of course, I have more experience now than I did then, so it's not an apples-to-apples comparison, but MFC was really rather painful to learn back then. Today, of course, MFC is old hat, with shelves of books and gazillions of Web pages and such. Someday, perhaps, Android will have all that too. It's a question of time and effort to build up the library, both on the part of OHA and on the part of semi-random schmucks like me. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training on the Ranch in September! http://www.bignerdranch.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
