the ABsimMetrics library cannot find a match in a list object. It can find a 'fuzzy' string in a table of strings (see the example)
Anyway, I think the error you get is a corrupted emulator. Try starting the emulator with the option 'wipe user data'. What is the android version you are using in the emulator? I'm not at my develop pc right now but it is possible I used the android 2.1 (7) jar file when I compiled the library.
I have take a look into the example and i have seen,
That i must declare an ABSimetrics object. The documentation
Don't says it.
dim sim as ABSimMetrics
And
Dim mat as ABFoundMatch
Seems that works only with a array and not
With a list.
I have an tablet pc with froyo 2.2 and have connect it.
that is definitively a mistake in the documentation. I changed it in the forum message where you can download the library and will change it in the documentation as soon as I can. Thank you for pointing that out!
