Thanks Kostya, I've actually been aware of using a callback interface reference to solve this problem, but considering its size and importance (in what I've been working on) I just wanted to find out whether there's a simpler way to do it or not.

From: [email protected] To: [email protected] You can override onPause and onResume in your activity and keep track of its screen time. Another, cleaner way is to pass a callback interface reference from your activity to "the other" class instance. -- Kostya Vasilyev -- http://kmansoft.wordpress.com 04.01.2011 16:49 пользователь "Emre A.
