Thanks.
Why resume? Your download is in a background thread, perhaps an AsyncTask. That will keep chugging along regardless of the orientation change. You will need to work out a means of having the AsyncTask communicate with the right Activity instance when the download is complete -- some people use statics, I've experimented with a local message bus, etc. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
