How to Create a List with Selection Indicators

This document explains how to create a list of BText items that have a little icon next to them to indicate whether the user has selected them.  An example of this kind of behavior is the Channel Selection screen on TiVo; when you hit Select on a channel, the little icon next to the channel toggles on/off, and the focus moves to the next item.  Here's what the example looks like:

 

	Create a new project in Eclipse.
	Create a new package called com.tivo.examples
	Save these 3 files somewhere on your system:

           ListExample.java
           SelectableList.java
           musicnote.png

	Add these to the project by dropping them on the package.
	Add the HME and Bananas JARs to the project.
	Create a Simulator Run Configuration for this project.
	Click 'Run' to run it.
