When working on my dc Redial Android App, I had to learn how to work with the Android Call Log Content Provider. The information I used was spread over several different sources, so I figured I would post an article detailing how to work with the Android Call Log Content Provider.

The Android Spinner is possibly the most versatile view element in the Android namespace. OK, so it might not be as versatile as some of the layout items, like TableLayouts and RelativeLayouts, and it might not be as functional as some of the widgets, like maps and browsers, but it's still one of my favorites. And the Android Spinner is definitely one of the shiniest implementation of what HTML programmers know as a <select> element. In a previous article, we've already covered how to populate an Android Spinner, so in this article we'll cover some of the other aspects of working with Android Spinners.

As a developer, I always appreciate a good set of resources for things like tutorials, examples, documentation, etc. The list below contains links to some of my favorite resources for developers. I'm also adding tutorials and examples of my own to help shed light on issues that I have encountered as I write apps, CMS extensions, etc.
General Website Links (HTML, Javascript, CSS, etc.)
Android App Development
Joomla! Development
These links are a good place to start, but don't forget to check back here for specific examples/tutorials. And always remember, that just about any question you have ever asked has been asked online, and Google probably knows where the answer is.
If you have any other resources that you absolutely cannot live without, please let me know in the comments on this article, and I can add them.
Thanks,

Any good web designed knows how important the <select> element can be. In a touch screen environment, like Android, where users often don't have a full keyboard, like many Android phones, the ability to simply select an item from a pre-determined list is absolutely vital. It's easier for the user to select what they want - rather than have to type it, it protects your databases from junk data and typos by limiting choices to pre-defined, pre-screened responses. The Android OS has a very robust, user friendly and - relatively - programmer friendly way to handle this: the Android Spinner.
