Override onTouchEvent(), find the coordinates of the screen tap, then run a bunch of text metric calculations to try to determine what word is at those coordinates. This is unlikely to be easy. I'm not strong enough with my DOM events to know if you could find out the clicked-upon word if you put the text into a WebView instead of a TextView. Bear in mind that your current design assumes the existence of a touchscreen. It remains to be seen how long that assumption will hold true. Google TV, for example, might be more pointer-centric. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.1 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
