    <p>When I start an activity in <code>Handler#postDelayed(Runnable, long)</code> I get an error log message (yes, repeated twice):</p> <pre><code>03-19 18:39:26.628: E/SpannableStringBuilder(11502): SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE spans cannot have a zero length 03-19 18:39:26.628: E/SpannableStringBuilder(11502): SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE spans cannot have a zero length </code></pre> <p>Application does not crash, however it is annoying to see this error all the time.

    1. CODon't use `System.out.println` in Android. If you want log messages then use `Log.d("AppName", "Log Message");`. This likely isn't causing your problem but it's just good practice/the proper way of sending log messages for the platform.

    2. CO@MCeley, thanks for the comment. I am aware of that. `System.out.println` does not cause the problem in this case.

    3. COI was sure it wasn't your problem. Just wanted to leave the tip. Some people getting into Android come from a more traditional Java background where `System.out.println` is used so I just wanted to share the info in case you weren't aware of other logging solutions. Also, could you post more of your logcat output that shows the full stack trace?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
