    <p>I have an activity with a custom view which extends <code>EditText</code> in it. Usually when someone longclicks an EditView a <code>menu pops up</code> asking the user to choose input method. </p> <p>I have <em>overridden</em> the <code>onLongClick</code> to <strong>make this menu NOT appear</strong>, since I use my own methods of input. However, i want a <code>ListActivity</code> to start when user longclicks the <code>EditText</code> (or rather again my view which extends EditText). <strong>But it seems a view cannot fire intents, only activities, am i right?</strong></p> <p>Fine, so i try to capture the longclick from the activity that spawned my EditText-like view. But inside my EditText-like view i already consume the longclick, either in the overridden <code>onLongClick()</code> by setting it true to avoid the <em>"Please choose input method"</em> menu to appear, or if returning false, then that very menu appears and consumes my longclick. In neither of the cases the intent fires...</p> <p>In short: <strong>A user longclicks an EditText, and i want a custom ListActivity to start. How do i accomplish this?</strong></p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> So i found <code>startActivity</code> in the <code>Context object</code>. But i will have the user pick an item from a list. That item would then appear in the <code>EditText</code>, so i thought i had to use <code>startActivityForResult</code>, which incidentally does not appear in the <code>Context object</code> :(</p> <p><strong>EDIT 2:</strong> How do i get a result back from an activity started with <code>startActivity</code>?</p>

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.
