In this case, I meant I wasn't sure how to make a generic "leaf" class work,
with [Activity] on the generic type.

I did not mean to imply that it didn't make sense to have a generic type within
the inheritance hierarchy. :-)
Thus, I would expect the following to work:
class LookupActivity<T> : Activity {
/* ... */
}
[Activity]
class AmpachePlaylistActivity : LookupActivity<AmpachePlaylist> {
}
...
StartActivity (typeof (AmpachePlaylistActivity));
That will result in AndroidManifest.xml listing only non-generic types, which
makes perfect sense, and I believe that this should work.
