Rather than the dual array method, why not fill your ArrayAdapter programmatically with objects of a known type and use that. I’ve written a tutorial of a similar nature (link at the bottom) that does this. The basic premise is to create an array of Java objects, tell the spinner about the, and then use … Read more
multi select spinner : 1- create a spinner in your own xml ,like this <Spinner android:id=”@+id/mySpinner” android:layout_width=”match_parent” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:layout_alignParentRight=”true” android:layout_marginTop=”1dp”/> 2-create a custom dapter for spinner like this : public class AdapterTagSpinnerItem extends ArrayAdapter<TagListSimpleSearch> { private LayoutInflater mInflater; private List<TagListSimpleSearch> listState; public Spinner mySpinner = null; public AdapterTagSpinnerItem(Context context, int resource, List<TagListSimpleSearch> objects, Spinner mySpinner) … Read more
This is what worked for me (using ideas both from CommonsWare’s and gsanllorente’s answers): private static class MySpinnerAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> { // Initialise custom font, for example: Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), “fonts/Blambot.otf”); // (In reality I used a manager which caches the Typeface objects) // Typeface font = FontManager.getInstance().getFont(getContext(), BLAMBOT); private MySpinnerAdapter(Context context, int resource, … Read more
In holo theme spinner by default uses dropdown mode. And all moves with overriding default styles just move to switching spinner mode to dialog mode which succesfully wraps multiline text as in api 11. Instead you can create spinner with new Spinner(context, Spinner.MODE_DIALOG) or in xml: android:spinnerMode=”dialog”. But it’s not resolve the problem, because it’s … Read more
I think it’s probably this bit in styles.xml <style name=”Widget.TextView.SpinnerItem”> <item name=”android:textAppearance”>@style/TextAppearance.Widget.TextView.SpinnerItem</item> </style> <style name=”Widget.DropDownItem.Spinner”> <item name=”android:checkMark”>?android:attr/listChoiceIndicatorSingle</item> </style> -= EDIT =- Here’s the result: and here’s how it’s done: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?> <resources> <style name=”MooTheme” parent=”android:Theme”> <item name=”android:spinnerItemStyle”>@style/MooSpinnerItem</item> </style> <style name=”MooSpinnerItem” parent=”android:Widget.TextView.SpinnerItem”> <item name=”android:textAppearance”>@style/MooTextAppearanceSpinnerItem</item> </style> <style name=”MooTextAppearanceSpinnerItem” parent=”android:TextAppearance.Widget.TextView.SpinnerItem”> <item name=”android:textColor”>#F00</item> </style> </resources> Then just add … Read more
Spinner mySpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.your_spinner); String text = mySpinner.getSelectedItem().toString();
Use the following: spinnerObject.setSelection(INDEX_OF_CATEGORY2).
ArrayAdapter<String> should work. i.e.: Spinner spinner = new Spinner(this); ArrayAdapter<String> spinnerArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String> (this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, spinnerArray); //selected item will look like a spinner set from XML spinnerArrayAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout .simple_spinner_dropdown_item); spinner.setAdapter(spinnerArrayAdapter);
Suppose your Spinner is named mSpinner, and it contains as one of its choices: “some value”. To find and compare the position of “some value” in the Spinner use this: String compareValue = “some value”; ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.select_state, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item); adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); mSpinner.setAdapter(adapter); if (compareValue != null) { int spinnerPosition = adapter.getPosition(compareValue); mSpinner.setSelection(spinnerPosition); }
The use of Runnables is completely incorrect. Use setSelection(position, false); in the initial selection before setOnItemSelectedListener(listener) This way you set your selection with no animation which causes the on item selected listener to be called. But the listener is null so nothing is run. Then your listener is assigned. So follow this exact sequence: Spinner … Read more
