This can be a handy thing to have for certain types of apps. Seems to be a very simple little switch of code. In your Eclipse Package Explorer, expand the following folder /src/com.yourappname/ Then open up the BT_activity_base.java file. Find the following code snippet: confirmRefreshAlert.show(); and replace it with: refreshAppData(); Save and clean/rebuild in sim or device. I have tried it out on the simulator and on my galaxy prevail. Seems to work fine. Updates are automatically loaded in without the alert. You may want to change the default loading message, which says (Loading...) by default. You can find this text variable in the following file in your Package Explorer window in Eclipse: /res/values/strings.xml Open strings.xml in text mode and find the string name 'LoadingTitle', you can change that to Please Wait... Downloading Updates, or whatever would make the most sense to the end user. Hope this helps folks out!
