No worries. Glad you were able to figure it out. There are just quite a few people who post without ever trying to find answers for themselves. Rather than just giving them the answer and justifying their lack of initiative, I try to help them by not helping them... at least not until they have shown that they have tried to look for the answer for themselves. ;-) If they are always just given the answer then they never learn anything except to mooch off others experience.
Sometimes it is not possible to tell if that is the case or not. In general it is a good idea when posting a question to state what you have tried and, if possible, some code. I am often criticized for this, but that is just because people mistake my responses for rudeness... Granted, sometimes it is a little on the blunt side and perhaps a little rude, but I think that is more the exception than the rule in my case, and people just misread it. The Android Dev Guide has a really good link to a guide about posting questions to get answers... I wish more people would read it and follow its advice: http://developer.android.com/resources/community-groups.html http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html (This link came from the above link) Thanks, Justin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 types of people in the world...
