Hi all, I've been working religiously through the "Hello Views" tutorials and all have run ok, except for the MapView tutorial. I'm stuck on the first part where you're supposed to run it after adding code for the zoomControls functionality.
I find that i have two problems that i can't resolve: 1. In the below line from the tutorial code: linearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.zoomview); I get the "Cannot cast from View to LinearLayout" error. 2. The Android 1.5 SDK warns me that the getZoomControls() method is deprecated. It would be good if this was updated in the tutorial. What would be a better way of creating Zoom controls? I'm running on Eclipse/Vista/Android 1.5 I appreciate any help anyone might have to contribute.
