*> I can totally understand that :) and I wouldn't consider your attitude or opinion as rude but I can imagine that some people may misunderstand that... *
It's kind of a curse... ;-) *> For me asking is often the final desperation after having tried for hours (including searching through similar problems) and not being able to solve the problem myself * Me too... and that is the way it should be. *> But I am so interested in Android and really trying to learn and understand it and so far (even after hours of desperation and hard work ;)) it has been fun.* Me too... and that is how I learned Android. Honestly, I have only ever written one true program for Android. It is published on the Market. I have other apps in mind but I currently put so much time in my current program to update it, add features, and fix bugs that I haven't had time to do much else. All of my Android programming experience comes from writing that one app. I have several years experience in general programming, so that helps *> And to be honest for me it is always better if I actually solve a problem myself because it feels good and makes me think that I actually understood something, if you know what I mean :) * There is no better feeling than fighting with something and staying up until 3 in the morning just to get it right... Even if you have to turn around and wake up at 7! *> And thank you :) * You're welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 types of people in the world...
