Hello Mike, I'm not familiar with the code you are using, but I believe you want to use setSelection() inside the "onCreate" method of the activity, something like:
findViewById(R.id.myListView).setSelection(0); See here for more info: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ListView.html#setSelection%28int%29 If you're still struggling, post up the activity code so we can better see what it is you are trying to do.
