Android :: Disappearing Dividers In Spinner Drop-down List
Sep 24, 2010I am writing my first simple Android App: It loads temperature samples from a Java based measurement system (CSV via HTTP), shows the available channels in a Spinner and when a channel is selected, it shows the corresponding value and a timestamp in two TextViews. The App works fine, except a little cosmetic problem: The items in the drop-down list are separated by a horizontal line (divider) and depending on the scroll position, some lines disappear and appear again, when I scroll some more pixels up or down. The phenomenon happens on the emulator screen as well as on the handheld display (HTC Wildfire). Seems to be a screen resultion problem. Does anyone have a hint how to avoid this?
See my code below...

Android :: Multiple Selection In Drop Down List - Spinner Like Widget
Sep 2, 2009I am wondering is there any way to create something similar to spinner but which allows multiple selection. I guess we can select multiple entries from ListView but I don't have much space to show all the entires and also I need to show three different categories on the same Activity which you can select from.
Here is what I want to do:
Category 1:
Category 2:
Category 3:
Android :: How To Overwrite Default Background Of List Item In ListView?
Apr 16, 2010I am trying to overwrite the default backgroud color of List item which is holding the focus in the ListView. As you can see, in Android Setting Menu, when you scroll through the ListView, the focused ListItem has a red backgroud to highlight its focus. Does any way to change the default behavior by highlighting it with other color or just a bottom red line under this Item.

Oct 17, 2010Trying to implement simple dictionary. I want to make it so while the user is typing in the EditText box the list to scroll automatically to the best match. I don't want it to filter the list. For example if the user types "s" in the EditText I want the first word that s/he sees under the EditText box to be the first word in the dictionary that starts with "s." But the user should still be able to slide up and down and to be able to see the entire list of words. It is basically like a go to functionality. I used ArrayList to store my list of words. The data is in res/raw/data.xml file. Here is my onCreate method
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
wordListView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.wordList);
myEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.myEditText);
words = new ArrayList<Word>();
arrAdap = new ArrayAdapter<Word>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, words);
wordListView.setAdapter(arrAdap); try {
InputStream inSource = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.data);
DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(inSource, null);
NodeList wordsList = doc.getElementsByTagName("eng-bg");
int length = wordsList.getLength();
for(int i = 0; i<length; i++) {
Element entry = (Element)wordsList.item(i);
Element eng = (Element)entry.getElementsByTagName("english").item(0);
Element bul = (Element)entry.getElementsByTagName("bulgarian").item(0);
Element id = (Element)entry.getElementsByTagName("ID").item(0);
String english = eng.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
String bulgarian = bul.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
int wordId = Integer.parseInt(id.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
Word word = new Word(bulgarian, english, wordId);
addNewWord(word);
} catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SAXException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block

} catch (IOException e) {

}wordListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener(){
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) {
selectedWord = words.get(pos);

Android :: Popup List Like Spinner Without Spinner
Jan 25, 2010I have a spinner widget in my activity which lets users pick a list name.
Normally, the function of the spinner is to switch between lists but for a couple of instances, I swap out the selection change listener to perform a different function with the same list of options. Once the selection has been made, the old listener is restored and life goes on.
This is a bad and buggy arrangement. Instead, I would like to have a function that just takes a selection listener and some other parameters and shows a popup list that's populated by the same cursor (or and identical cursor) as the spinner, without using the spinner itself.
Is there any way I can do this?
Android :: Enabling Fast Scroll Spinner's Drop Down Menu
Jul 30, 2010In an application I have a Spinner that has tens of items.When the user taps on the spinner, a popup dialog appears that shows the list of possible selections. However, since there are (sorted) tens of items, I want the user to be able to use the fast-scroll thumb (like fastScrollEnabled attribute on ListView), similar to the one enabled in Contacts application.I tried to get the ListView that is used in that pop-up dialog, but I didn't find any methods to do that.

Apr 9, 2010I don't know exactly how to explain this problem, but I'll try. I have a ListView with several items. Each item has inside a TextView and two ImageView. I want the ImageView change when I click on them, and I want to open a context menu when I press for a long time into the ListView item.For the ImageView, everything works properly. For the whole item, I can show the context menu after a long press, but my problem is that the ImageView changes as well when I am pressing the TextView, for example.I hope you understand my problem. I think that all the children of a view are affected by an event in the parent, but I am not sure.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid : Disable Spinner Item?
Dec 10, 2009How do I disable (gray out, make unselectable) an item in a Spinner? I tried calling View.disable() on the associated child of the Spinner, but it remains black text (not gray) and selectable.
There must be some way of showing but leaving unselectable certain items in a spinner, right? This is a standard "menu" behavior that goes back decades. Android permits it, right? I want the user to see that certain options are possible under certain circumstances even if they are impossible at the immediate moment...exactly the way items in the main Android menu-button invoked menu can be visible but unselectable.
Android : How To Disable An Item In A Spinner
Aug 26, 2010Is it possible to display particular entries in a Spinner list as disabled?
i.e. I want to always display a spinner with 4 entries (North, South, East and West, say), but I want to be able to disable any one of these so that is appears greyed out and not selectable.
Is this possible, or will I have to recreate the list each time, leaving out the invalid entries?
Android : Need Item Selected From Spinner
Mar 11, 2010I am a newbie coder and new to the SDK. I was just playing around with an app that i made. I wanted to know as to how to retrieve the item id of the selected item from the spinner when the spinner is re- populated.
For example, I created 2 spinners, if you selected item 0 from spinner1 then spinner2 will have a bunch of items and if you selected item 1 from spinner1 then spinner2 will have a different set of items. Now, my question is that when i select item 1 from spinner 1 then the items in spinner2 dont have different ids. So how do i differentiate from the two sets of data?
To illustrate,
User selected item 0 in spinner1 -> spinner2 gets data from array1 -> item 0 in spinner2 has id '0' and item text is "apple"
User selected item 1 in spinner1 -> spinner2 gets data from array2 -> item 0 in spinner2 has id '0' and item text is "oranges"
I know this sounds confusing but i hope the right people understood it..

Android : Handler Exception When Trying To Get Spinner Selected Item
Jun 30, 2009I am trying to get the selected item of my spinner that is populated and I am already seeing the values. when I try to use (String) s.getSelectedItem(); to get the selected item, I am receiving a handler exception on Logcat.
The spinner throwing the error is a 2nd spinner resulting from the 1st spinner's selected item (that works perfectly). In other words, user selects from spinner one and upon selection, populates spinner 2 (until here everything is fine). When trying to get the value of the selected row in spinner2 , I am receiving the error.
here's the main parts of my code...
Android : Update Content After Selecting Item In Spinner
Feb 14, 2010Its me again. I tried the last hours, how to change content of a spinner. ok, lets start from the beginning.
I have three spinners. They all have initial values. The first spinner is the main spinner and the other two spinners depend on the vale chosen in the first one. So i want to update the last two spinners after making a selection in spinner one. *edit: All spinners are on the same activity.
How can i achieve this? My problem is that i can only make changes in the spinners onitemselectadapter but thats a whole new class. I cannot reach the activity where my other spinners are.

Android : Tell Is Someone Has Pressed A SPINNER But Not Changed Visible Item In It?
Jun 6, 2010I have a spinner, which mostly works. If a user selects one of the items in it, the 'onItemSelected' routine catches it just fine.
But if a user clicks the same spinner, but does not change from the already visible item that it's currently displaying, the 'onItemSelected' routine just ignores it, and the logs show:-
WARN/InputManagerService(577): Window already focused, ignoring focus gain of: com.android.internal.view.IInputMethodClient$Stub$Proxy@437948b0
I there anyway to capture someone doing this? The idea is that my spinner contains a list of names, and when a user selects one from the spinner, it gets added to a listview.
I could just add another button to get the name from the spinner, but, screen-space is already lacking and I'd rather not add anymore content.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Graphically Represent Multiple List Selections / Dynamically Change List Item View
Apr 23, 2010I'm trying to create a multiple selection list where the selection is represented graphically rather than with checkboxes.My list has checkboxes, but I want them to serve a different purpose. I'm using a cursor to hold my data and created a custom view binder for the SimpleCursorAdapter. I did this for the checkboxes and general flexibility.So far I haven't even been able to show one line as being selected. I've enabled multiple selection on the list and denied the children of the list item focusability. I've tried manually changing background color with the position fed in through the list item click listener. But the wrong items get changed and they don't even change to the right color. I've enabled touch focusability with no improvement either.Ideally, I'd like the trackball highlight focus bar to appear in multiple places. But I don't think this is possible unless you use the drawable directly. But I don't know how to find or apply it. My next idea was to have a slim view bar that changes color. But I had the same problem with the wrong item being selected so I never finished trying to guess the index position to see if this would work. My most recent idea is to completely swap out the view for another one if it's selected. But I have no idea how to do this either. I'm thinking of using an array list to store the _id s of the items that need a different view to get around the wierd selection problem. I'm also thinking of passing in the ID field as my from and the selection view as the to for my adapter. Then I'd intercept it with my binder and change the view accordingly. But once again, I'm not sure how to do this successfuly.
View 7 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Focus In List When First List Item Should Be Disabled
Aug 23, 2010I use tabs in my Android application and one of my tabs contains a listview. I'm noticing some weird behavior when I override isEnabled in my list's adapter and then try to use the D-pad to move up and down through the list and to my tabs.If the 0th item of the list is enabled, then everything works as expected - I can move down through the list, and then up again and once I reach the top of the list, pressing up moves focus to my tab.However, if the 0th item is DISABLED (isEnabled in my adapter returns false), then when I press up while position 1 is focused, the focus gets stuck. It doesn't move up to the tab as I would have expected and instead stays on position 1 of the list.
