I set up some tech for this as part of the Android Parcel Project: http://andparcel.com/ In particular, these instructions for creating a parcel may be of interest: http://andparcel.com/pdfs/parcel-dev.pdf Also, the current version of _The Busy Coder's Guide to Advanced Android Development_ has a chapter on creating reusable components like these. Since you're a subscriber, you should have access to this version of the book. -- Mark Murphy CommonsWare [email protected] http://commonsware.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
