When the user clicks the Save button or option menu choice. For complex forms on small touchscreen devices, do not assume that the user wants a change until they explicitly say they want it. It is too easy to graze a widget while attempting to tap other things, etc. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
