Oh ok. I was under the assumption we're dealing with the same component tree, regardless of it being set up declaratively (XML) or procedurally (Java). > Because enums are very costly. Oh really, that must be unique to Dalvik then (as it goes against Bloch's Effective Java recommendation). Surely that could be abstracted out at the Dalvik level, giving programmers better type- safety while remaining super efficient?! > That's a very vague statement. Where should it be used more? All over, for widgets and layouts, allowing for less verbose and more streamlined Java code. I.e. have CheckBox.setText(...) return itself rather than void, such as to make it shorter/easier setting multiple properties. /Casper --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
