Anytime you use any library that you yourself did not write or have the source to, and is not clearly documented, you will have the same issue. Now I'm just curious why you're so invested in this one function and if you spend this much time determining the validity of every variable you get in every method you employ from every external library you use? If not, why the fascination with this one method? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
