Hi there,

sorry to post somewhat of an unrelated post here but I was wondering, since the my rss feed app is no longer available, if I could use a test app to view an rss video podcast feed I was viewing just fine before. If I can, since I am not a programmer, can I download a template or another test app from somewhere and insert my rss feed?

I would appreciate you feedback,
Thanks,
Max

Thanks to Greg for catching some errors related to the proper ID of the list container!

Yes, making sure to mention main.xml and line numbers of intsert at the start of the post would help with the doubt of where the control elements go.

Oooh, good catch. Though it is correct in the first example, the last two examples of the list container did contain a typographical error making the control invisible on object focus. I have correct the examples to make sure only the scrolling label is visible when the ListItem is in focus.

I also neglected to talk about the importance of an id attribute for your list container – I've add it to all the examples above with a little explanation when we first build it.

On the last label control (in the last block of example code), true (line 85), the text will begin to scroll but it also leaves behind the original white text. So in other words it looks like the labels are stacked on top of each other, one is scrolling and the other is not. If I remove the 2nd to last label control (line 60-72) that seems to remedy it. But I'm pretty sure that's not the right solution since you mentioned needing two controls to handle two different cases.

I cannot browse up and down through the list items. Is that normal at this stage? I didn't know if you were going to cover that in a later tutorial or not.
