I have a ListActivity backed by an Adapter, which is NOT a
SimpleCursorAdapter, but an extension of BaseAdapter. I create my own
view in the adapter's GetView() method, which builds up a list on-the-
fly.

Now I have a menu structure when this list is in focus. This menu
structure contains a submenu, too, and I have noticed that the
ListActivity's getSelectedItemPosition() returns -1 when I reach this
submenu. I also noticed that this value is correct when I activate the
top-level menu item that eventually "opens" the submenu (I queried the
afore-mentioned function in onMenuItemSelected() and it was fine). But
when onMenuItemSelected() gets called after the activation of a sub-
menu item getSelectedItemPosition() always returns -1.

Can anyone point out if my expectation is wrong to assume that a list
selection shall not change when it's behind other UI components? Is it
a bug in the system? How shall I overcome it? I could implement dirty
tricks such as saving the position temporarily for a later query, but
I'd like to know first if I'm doing something wrong and/or if it's a
system malfunction.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Tote
