My first Google Android Java application

Postby WauloK » Sat Feb 09, 2008 1:20 pm

Over the last two days I've been working on a small calculations application.
Today I finally finished it! :D
It's late at the moment so I will soon be uploading information on it.
I hope to put lots of info and descriptions to help people learn from it, on my website in my signature.

For now, here's a sneak preview ;)

Hm, you could do like the following:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]
Using java Syntax Highlighting
  1. Intent refresh = new Intent(this, ActivityToRefres.class);
  2.  
  3. startActivity(refresh);
  4.  
  5. this.finish();

I'm not sure, but maybe you can 'clean' the ContentView and set it back again...
