I have searched Dictionary, tutorials and postings, but I can't find anything.

I have attached a simple stack with as far as I could go.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks You,

David

Android doesn't use a pickwheel, you won't find it in any app. It uses an option sheet instead, which you can bring up with the mobilePick function.

If you do it by yourself the source code of Bernd's stack "Scroll Images" may help:

Jacque,

I am not familiar with "option sheet". I used the mobilePick function in the stack that I included with this posting. Could you take a peek at it and tell me if this is what you are referring to?

Thanks,

David

That's a cool stack that you referred me to, but It will not work in my application very well.

Thanks,

I didn't see an enclosure in your post, but the Android version of a picklist is similar to this:

Jacque,

That is the way mine looks.

But, I can not get the InitialIndex to highlight any items in the list.

Thanks for your help,

David

Code: Select all

mobilePick "Aphid" & return & "Bird" & return & "Cat", 3, "checkmark"
put the result 
That should give you a picklist with the third line chosen. If you choose a different line it should put the line number into the message box.

Jacque,

I used the following code:

repeat with x =26 to 0 step -1
if x = 26 then
put x into tList1
else
put x & cr & tList1 into tList1
end if
end repeat

mobilePick tList1, 5, "canceldone", "checkmark"
put the result into Test2


I did see the 5th little button on right checked.

Android has pretty poor pick system compared to apple.

Thanks so much for your help,

David
