Normally I don't get into this back and forth Q&A loop as I know very well how busy most people are and what the real purpose of the mailing lists are, so I apologize for letting it get out of hand. You are right, most likely I should be able to find a lot of these fundamental concepts either on the web site or the books and I did have good luck finding most of them. However, since I am importing a large application from an existing standard java code to Android there are cases that I am not finding whether what exists in standard java is generally accepted under Android and thus the multiple questions. I guess I am learning by brute force in this case. I do know this is a mobile platform and its capabilities and API should be honored, but I am also trying to reuse segments that can work equally well if they are imported unchanged. In any case, your point is well taken so thanks for bringing it up.
To clarify my last question, by "stalls" or "quits", I mean that I am watching the app execute in the DDMS console, and although I am catching exceptions around that particular code segment, the execution stops, no exception is thrown and nothing occurs thereafter. I am not sure if the execution of certain methods imported directly from J2SE cause the VM to have issues - I will examine it closer and see what the story is there. I will limit my questions to more substantial issues as they arise. Thanks again.
