I am trying to update the ListView with periodic updates taken from an HTTP response.

I've developed an application that users can use to store lists of their favourite books, books they've read, books they'd like to read, etc., and it's all working fine, but it's just suddenly struck me that users may want to print off their list or download their list to use in another format such as a CSV file to import into a spreadsh...

On my current project, we're developing a "designer" tool (with GWT) that allows users to build forms in their browser. These forms are displayed in various channels (e.g. web, mobile, sms) to capture data and make decisions based on user input. When I joined the project, it was in a proof-of-concept phase and the form definitions creat...

Once the user selects a row, it goes to another tableview and no tab bar. The navigation bar is still at the top and the user can go back. Clicking a row from here displays the detail view. In summary...
