>> Why not use an activity? That's the path I started going down last night. I think that makes more sense to me as it will give me more flexibility on the implementation. My initial thought, however, was to use a context menu. I don't think a dialog would work in this case just because I need to display a list of items for the user to select from, unless the dialog can be extended to do that.
Interestingly enough, on a specific case in my initial activity, I'll need to display some form of list selection and then turn around and display an input dialog for text. Those two values will be stored off to the database to then be used on any following requests to the activity.
