Ah, that wasn't obvious from your posts. Your posts felt like "brute force" learning, to use your term, but it wasn't clear that there was an overarching theme. > To clarify my last question, by "stalls" or "quits", I mean that I am > watching > the app execute in the DDMS console, and although I am catching > exceptions > around that particular code segment, the execution stops, no exception > is thrown and > nothing occurs thereafter.

Correct? Generally, yes. Android is not a pure Java SE environment, though, so "the devil is in the details". > If not, is there documentation that you may > know off that rules against such methods - for example if my problem > now is the File.createNewFile() and for some reason does not work > well under Android, is that documented somewhere or this should > not be the case and pretty much what compiles should work. I've never used createNewFile() in a decade-plus of Java development, so I can't speak specifically on it. If the method exists, there's a 99.9% chance it should work as expected. There are a few no-ops (notably in Thread for stuff that's been deprecated since the Clinton Administration), but the bigger problem tends to be things that are just flat-out missing. For those, you'll get compile errors if you're compiling from scratch, or VerifyErrors if your existing code base is in a JAR you're importing. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.9 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
