That depends on what you mean by "the Java APIs". After all, anything that is a class inherits from Object, which is a class supplied by "the Java APIs". Here are the packages I recommend developers be familiar with before getting into Android: java.io java.lang java.net java.util java.util.concurrent While there are many other Java packages included in Android, those are the most important five, IMHO. I apologize if that is not what you mean by "the Java APIs". -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in NYC: 30 April-2 May 2010: http://guruloft.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
