Table 4.1 Leaderboard User Table

Back to the java code, you can define a browserIntent in the main activity RaccoonRob to
open the leaderboard whenever the user submits his/her highest score.
case 5: //leader board

try {

int m = 0;
if (gv != null ) {
m = gv.score;
gv.stopGame();
gv = null ;

}

//opens a browserIntent to handle user submissions on the board
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent. ACTION_VIEW ,
Uri. parse ( "http://www.micbots.com/boardmanager/
leaderboard.aspx?a=" +userId+ "&b=" + m + "&c=1" ));
startActivity(browserIntent);

new Thread(){

public void run(){
Looper.prepare();
wv = new WelcomeView(RaccoonRob. this );
myHandler.sendEmptyMessage(3);

}

}.start();

}
catch (Exception e ){}
break ;
