You could also make a wrapping adapter if you cannot easily put the "hint" object into your main adapter (e.g., it's a SimpleCursorAdapter from a database query). I haven't tried my MergeAdapter with a Spinner, though even if the code does not directly work, the principles behind it should still hold up: http://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-merge -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.9 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
