Comments on: Caltroid 0.1 - Caltrain Schedule for Android http://www.heikkitoivonen.net/blog/2008/02/06/caltroid-01-caltrain-schedule-for-android/ A Finn in Silicon Valley - Adventures in Technology Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:19:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: heikki http://www.heikkitoivonen.net/blog/2008/02/06/caltroid-01-caltrain-schedule-for-android/#comment-1340 heikki Wed, 02 Apr 2008 18:27:25 +0000 http://www.heikkitoivonen.net/blog/2008/02/06/caltroid-01-caltrain-schedule-for-android/#comment-1340 Thanks Todd. And yes, I know I could do my multicolumn list, but since I am pretty sure this is such a common need that Google will provide such a thing I decided against implementing it. Same with better emulation for drop down lists. While working on this I also realized a lot of the Caltrain schedule functionality would be applicable to other schedules, especially simple daily commute transits like with Caltrain. It is great to hear you are working on a more universal solution, and given that many public transportation organizations are now offering schedules in Google Transit format it is a good move to concentrate on that.

Regarding your desire for a better list view (ie - more than a single column), it's not too hard to do. You simply define your own 'layout' in res with a couple of textviews and then reference that id when building your adapter. If you use an ArrayListCursor for your data, and then build a SimpleCursorAdapter from that as the backing data for your spinner, you can match column ids to your textview ids to control how your data is displayed. Cheers, Todd Nice app,

That is pretty cool! Now we need "Stucktroid" that gets you out of the parking lots also known by their alternative names as 101, 280, 880, etc. and automagically gives you alternate, normally little known but better routing to our destinations. :) Hei Heikki.
