I read the documentation... and (Being an imbecile as I fully admit I am) it read sort of like Charlie Browns teacher talking to me...
What I need to do is be able to have a search that displays it's results in a list. But from the looks of the docs, it takes an entire Android app to display one list at a time that can't talk to anything else (I may be reading it wrong)... Really, what I want is something that woudl work sort of like Select lists in Javascript - I have a container and then just add options one at a time... But I can't see how to do that in a Android ListView...
