I have never heard of an > ArrayAdapter. I assume he's referring to this: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ArrayAdapter.html First link on Google and Bing. That said, it really doesn't matter what the type of the object is. It's still just going to be a normal object reference. And accessing object references that exist in one class from another class is always done the same way: either provide a method or field in the owning class that will return it, or pass/assign the value of the reference to a method/field in the accessing class. Basically, it's one of the first things someone ought to learn when learning how to program in an OOP language. Classes that can't get values from the instance of one class to the instance of another usually aren't that useful. Pete
