Here are some things you can try beyond those step-by-step instructions:

• Have the database hold a URL for the restaurant's Web site. Update
  the UI to collect this address in the detail form. Launch that URL

via startActivity() via an option menu choice from the restaurant

list, so you can view the restaurant's Web site.

• Add an option menu to delete a restaurant. Raise an AlertDialog to

confirm that the user wants the restaurant deleted. Delete it from

the database and refresh the list if the user confirms the deletion.

You can read up on having multiple activities in your application, or linking

to activities supplied by others, in the "Launching Activities and Sub-

Activities" chapter of The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development.
