Hi Ryan, Thanks for posting the tutorial. I was indeed looking for something like that. Just that since I have one to N messages to display inside the popup I will have to include a listview in there and am not sure this will be possible (I don't know how long or how many messages I will have, even though this may sound somewhat odd.) I think your tutorial is going to be very helpful, by the looks of it it seems very well done.
Thanks, John Goche P.S. Where did you learn about all the styling bits besides in the android developer docs and how far can this be taken when compared to an HTML/CSS solution like on webOS?
