If it's purpose is to send requests (and report back errors) then that's all it should do. I don't know how you've set up your code, but I would expect a main activity that is responsible for doing the request using the utility class. If that fails (which the utility class would report), the calling activity would then launch the login activity to get the details, which you would get back in onActivityResult, which the main activity would then pass on to the utility class to try the request again. Again, I don't know the details of your code, but I don't see why this class would need to start and get results from an activity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
