Thanks once again for the hard work mounting this episode.

Just a simple question, there is a way to order the list? If so, in the next list episode try to do so.

Awesome tutorial. But, what about formatting the text, background colors, etc? How do you do that without the main.xml?

Just thought I’d let you know:
You’re saying parameter incorrectly. xD

I love your tutorials, and I don’t mean that harshly. Please don’t take it wrong; I just wanted to let you know for future references. ;)

I’d be interested in a complex list containing data from the web and displaying a thumbnail. I’m currently hacking my way through one. Would love to see how you do it.

Hey Vincent,

Thanks for the great tutorials. I think 10 – 20 minutes is optimal duration for this kind of tutorials. I like your way of explaining things. It is much easyer to follow than some books I found.
bye from Croatia!
