Hello,

When I install and click the installed application - I get an screen that does not look like Figure 4 -10 - what I see is only the title string "To Do List". But then when I enter a piece of text and hit enter - a whit eband appears at the bottom - I guess it is the layout for Add New Item and Remove Item.

Here is the logcat with my comments starting with '##'

## now the white bar appears at the bottom of the display area - it is modal - for example if I click on Home and then settings to uninstall this application this bar is stacked in from of the OK | cancel button

BTW, the Chapter 4 to do list works partially- I do not see the"Paper" in the display. I am more worried about 4.2 because I am not able to get it working.

Please help - if you can point to any other links (or pages int he book) that would be helpful too.

Thank you

Abhi

In the process of debugging I realized that when registerForContextMenu(myListview) is called in the code - onCreateContextMenu does not get called.
Can anyone please shed some light - why is likely to happen?

Thank you

The AVD was not set properly - so the pressing the hardware menu button was not working. Now that AVD is set properly it works ...
