Thanks a lot dor the input. >From all that was said, I believe that I may be feeding the View Constructor with something else than the activity, probably something like Application or similar, I know I copied one example from the SDK, if I'm not mistaken, I'll have to check when I get back home.
But having to force a cast on the context given to a view, just to be able to call the methods from the activity on the same context, seems like a hack to me. Probably better than what I'm doing know (forcing the flag NEW_TASK_LAUNCH). But this probably hints that something must be changed in the interface between an Activity and a View. Since, the need to force casts to input of an API, is usually sign of a not so good solution. Food for tought, probably. Is this Activity - View communication model, by any chance already being review for future versions? If Yes, any info on it, that could be advanced before hand ? Thanks a LOT for the prompt feedback.
