    <p>i have some code that should make differant plants grow at differant times.... but atm when the next plant is placed it just carries on the method instead of creating a new instance of that method.... iv only been programming about 6 months just learnt online.... not sure if i should be using aSyncTask or Threads... any help would be greatly appreciated....... I MAINLY NEED TO <code>SETV1SUNFLOWER()</code> TO KEEP WHATEVER VALUES <code>selectedPlant*</code> is and start a new instance of <code>setLv1Sunflower()</code> so that all plants run seperetly from each other</p> <p>here is my screen UI class</p> <pre><code> package com.gameplay.mysticgarden;

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.
