IMHO, messing with backgrounds and ListViews is problematic. Bear in mind that some people use pointing devices to navigate Android applications. Trying to get the selection bar and your custom backgrounds to work well together will be challenging. For indicating a range tied to a search, I'd consider putting a marker in the row itself (e.g., a 4dip-wide View on the left that normally is transparent but turns green when it is part of the search result). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
