My application is displaying a list of items from my database, in classic Android style, using a ListActivity and a SimpleCursorAdapter. So far, so good.
However, when I select my item, move to another Activity, and then press BACK and go back to my ListActivity, I find it's deselected its item and scrolled all the way to the top. The ListActivity hasn't been stopped or destroyed, merely frozen, so I'm surprised it's doing this. Does anyone know why? And, more importantly, how can I stop it? On a related note, with a ListActivity, is it my responsibility to save the selected item in the icicle on freeze and restore it on thaw, or will the ListActivity do it for me? If it is my job, does anyone know how I can determine the selected item position given a cursor ID? (ListActivity provides getSelectedItemId() which returns the id of the currently selected item, but it *doesn't* provide a function to select an item given the id --- instead it requires the list index.) -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ "I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my │ telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out │ how to use my telephone." --- Bjarne Stroustrup
