hi Mark

howdy, Jeff and Rj K!

(wish this thing would ring a bell when people arrive...)

Jeff: you got in first -- do you have a question?

I need to implement a table where the headers are fixed. I'm putting thumbnails in the table cells. There are a few examples out there. Do you have any suggestions?

do it in HTML :-)

on Android?

well, you could show it in a WebView

but I have not investigated any scrolling table solutions, let alone ones with fixed headers

Answers my questions - thanks

a TableLayout in a ScrollView handles the table part, but your headers are independent

there are a few examples - I'll try them

probably there's a separate header container that knows to get the column widths out of the main table container, to have them match

leastways, off the cuff, that's how I'd pursue it

that's about it

thanks

but, ideally, somebody has an implementation already -- I'm just not familiar with any, sorry

Rj: do you have a question?

Yes I do.

go ahead

I just started out with android programming. I have been teaching myself java but the java in android development is totally different.

well, the language is the same, as are many of the core class libraries (e.g., java.util)

what you *do* with the language is totally different

FWIW, here is an old blog post of mine, pointing out the bits of Java that you need to get going well in Android: http://commonsware.com/blog/2010/08/02/java-goo...

Thanks

Rj: you didn't really ask a question, though -- do you have a specific question?

OK, if either of you have a question, go ahead
