I admit that I haven't look at the note you are referring to, so I don't know exactly what you mean, but I don't see how any note can alleviate the inherent ambiguity in the situation I described above. If your cursor is in the middle of the text of an EditText the user can want to do one of two things in an ambiguously unresolvable way. They can want to move the cursor or they can want to jump to another EditText. If the trackball serves both purposes there is no way for Android to know which action is desired when the the user trackball's horizontally, right? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
