Hi, and thanks for your help. I've managed to make my own ListAdapter now, but how do I load the resources of another language? I tried doing a hack by changing the Locale halfway with Locale.setDefault(Locale.ENGLISH); but when I requested the resource it still gives me the local language. This is on the 1.5 emulator set to French. I also tried using the ResourceBundle class but that doesn't seem to work with Android resource files (I think!)
