If I understand you correctly, you want to set fastScrollEnabled=true and that will give you the little thumb scroller on the right. If you want to add a floating letter like the one in contacts, there is a great example in the APIDemos project in List9. Java ( http://www.devdaily.com/java/jwarehouse/android-examples/platforms/android-2/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/view/List9.java.shtml ).
I forgot to instantiate alphaIndexer. Works perfectly now.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
