Hi,
I have just read the examples of Content provider and Viewlets and find
them _really_ great, and even easier to understand than the present
implementation of views with METAL macros, while providing unlimited
possibilities. I have a two small questions however :
* If I decide to create a brand new skin, based heavily on content
provider and viewlets, which sounds easier to do than the present way to
do it, how should I provide the "glue" between the components which are
not "content provider-capable" yet ?
* By creating the content provider, I could gather information from
various kinds of object and provide a composite view of them. Is that
right ?
Thanks in advance,
Stéphane
