I'm not sure it's a "mistake" per se, but a side-effect of dialogs. As it turns out, I just ran into this issue an hour or two ago, so it's fresh in my mind. When you open the AlertDialog, the row in the ListActivity is no longer selected. I'd argue this is a bug -- opening a dialog should not affect the state of the underlying activity -- but there might be a good reason the Android team did it this way. What you need to do is save getSelectedItemId() before opening the AlertDialog (e.g., final long selection=getSelectedItemId()), so you have the proper value for use in the dialog's positive button callback. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.1 Published! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
