How can I create Spinner with customized items? Normally it is possible to have spinner items with text and checkboxes on the right, but I would like to have one part of the item's text black and the second part gray. I tried to create custom ArrayAdapter for the Spinner but I just can't figure out how to do it.

This is the spinner code I am using array of text list these text replaced to drawable items in to spinner how can implemented some solution I am new in android.
I am trying to change the text color of the spinner list items individually. I would like to be able to color the top three texts black and then the bottom four grey. This way the last items look disabled, but I still want to be able to capture the event when they are chosen. I haven't been able to find any documentation on how to do that. Alternatively I would like to disable som list items, but still be able to capture the event when they are chosen.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an android spinner that's populated by a list of strings using an ArrayAdapter and it operates fine, however because of the way the spinner is displayed I'm running into a display height problem with the list items.
At first glance it would seem that the ArrayAdapter can use a single layout for displaying options which leads to the problem I'm having. When displaying the current item in the spinner (when the user is not selecting a new item from the list) the spinner pads the text so that the spinner is a reasonable size for clicking on. However when the user taps on it and brings up the list to select a new item, the list items presented are way to small height-wise. If I use an item layout that presents the list items at a reasonable height, then the spinner itself becomes exorbitantly huge due to it's own padding of the list item.
Any ideas on how I can manage the height of these two item display modes so that effectively they display with the same height value instead of the spinner height being larger than the list item display height?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to change the items in a list view based on a value that gets selected in a spinner that is in the same activity. Is there a quick way to do filtering on the list adapter data based on that value, or should I go the long way of changing my adapter implementation for easy filtering?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to create an ArrayAdapter and a Spinner that are totally dynamic and have nothing to do with the layout file.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm all new to Android and I'm trying to create a spinner programmatically and feeding it with data from an array, but Eclipse gives me a warning that I can't handle.
Here's what I got:
This ArrayList holds the elements that should be in the spinner (gets filled from a file later on):
ArrayList<String> spinnerArray = new ArrayList<String>();
This is code ...
Now the second line (ArrayAdapter...) gives me a warning in Eclipse saying "ArrayAdapter is a raw type... References to generic type ArrayAdapter<T> should be parameterized", I have no idea how to fix this (or what that means in the first place :) ).
It's just a warning and the App seems to run alright, but I'd still like to understand what's wrong and fix it.
The default drop down view of the spinner occupies the entire width of the screen. I tried to create a custom spinner which occupies only some portion of the width of the screen, but I'm unable to do. I want to see the objects behind the drop down. Here is what i tried, I changed the drop down view as,
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); instead of
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
In the layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item.xml file I specified the width, but it still occupies the entire width. Can any one help. Is there any other view which is similar to spinner but I should be able to see the background objects like a alert dialog. Is it really possible?
I'm getting a NullPointerException while attempting to create a Spinner within a dialog and can't seem to debug it because the code looks solid. Wonder if anyone else has any idea. Any help is greatly appreciated.
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) { Dialog dialog;
switch(id) { case DIALOG_SEND_PM: Spinner spinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.pm_server);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.server_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener());
dialog = new Dialog(PM.this);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.send_pm_dialog);
dialog.setTitle(R.string.send_pm);
pmMessage = (EditText) dialog.findViewById(R.id.send_pm_box);
Button sendPm = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.send_pm_button);
sendPm.setOnClickListener(PM.this);
break;
default: dialog = null;
}
I get the exception at adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
I changed the context to MyClass.this and the exception moved down to the next line, which confuses me. I'm wondering if it is the adapter having a null value but I call everything the same way I have before while not in a dialog.
Relevant XML data:
<LinearLayout> <TextView/> <LinearLayout> <TextView/>
<EditText/> <TextView/> <Spinner
android:id="@+id/pm_server"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/yblueborder"
android:textColor="#ABABAB"/>
</LinearLayout> <Button/> </LinearLayout>
Is there anyway to set a custom font or color for the selected item in a Spinner? For example, I open the spinner and click a priority of "High". I'm my layout containing the spinner, I would like to see the word "High" in red or a custom font.
I can't seem to obtain the textview to make the necessary change. I always obtain a NullPointerException if I typecast the spinner.getSelectedView() to textview and attempt to set the color.
Can anyone tell me if its possible to create some kind of custom adapater for XML data to a Spinner? I'm wanting to create a set of XML data that contains city names & latitude/longitude positions but only display the city name in the Spinner and access the lat/long when a new city is selected.

View 22 Replies View RelatedI thought I knew how to catch list selection events in Android and then I regained consciousness. In my situation, I have a ListView that I populate with a custom view, all of the same class (let's call it the NewsChannel() class). NewsChannel consists of a LinearLayout of ImageViews and TextViews. When the list is displayed, the user may select a NewsChannel item in the list; I want to find out which list item was selected. Also, I registered an onClickListener to one of the TextViews and that works fine: when the text is clicked on, an activity is launched which is looking for the position of the NewsChannel item in the list. So, here's what my code looks like:
1. Registering the onClickListener in the ListActivity:
public class NewsListActivity extends ListActivity {...
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) { super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.news_list_format); ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener()
{ public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id) {
// When clicked, show a toast with the TextView text item_index = position;
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "item clicked = " + position,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); }}); ...
2. The layout for the ListView associated with NewsListActivity:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="@drawable/wpaper_tile" >
<ListView android:id="@id/android:list" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:dividerHeight="15dp" android:divider="@android:color/transparent"
android:cacheColorHint="@android:color/transparent" android:scrollbars="none" />
<FrameLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="55dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#88000000"/>
<ImageView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:src="@drawable/phonetop_bg" /> </RelativeLayout>
3. The NewsChannel layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:
android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<include layout="@layout/news_heading_format"
android:id="@+id/news_heading_header"/>
<ImageView android:id="@+id/news_channel_image" android:layout_width="88dp"
android:layout_height="66dp" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_below="@id/news_heading_header" android:padding="10dp" />
<TextView android:id="@+id/news_channel_text" android:lines="4"
android:inputType="textMultiLine" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/news_channel_image"
android:layout_below="@id/news_heading_header" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/> </RelativeLayout>
When I run the app, the ItemClickListener is never called. However, if NewsChannel were of a simpler type, say, a single ImageView or TextView embedded in the layout, the callback does get called. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? My whole goal is simply to let the activity launched by NewsChannel (not shown) to find out which instance of NewsChannel it was launched from.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have used RelativeLayout for a custom implementation of a ListAdapter and I am not sure if I can continue using this or if I need to use TableLayout. In the first example I have the text positioned as I would like by using one image view and one text view containing the book name and the author name. However, I want to style the author text differently so I think I will need two text views. In the second example I have added another text view but it floats to the right. Second eg is Clipboard02.png. How can I make the second text view go under the first text (as in eg 1). I have done this in code rather than using XML layout.

LinearLayout.LayoutParams bookParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams( LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
bookParams.setMargins( 5, 10, 5, 10 );

I use this code to generate a spinner in my app:

On my device (Motorola Milestone) and in the emulator this looks like the standard gray spinner widget.
On of my colleagues uses a Motorola Backflip and on his device the Spinner is black. Now its very hard to read the font in the spinner.
What do I have to do to use my own view for the spinner? I don't mind to have the gray spinner on all devices, but it should always look the same on all devices.
I have an xml layout file which contains a few widgets including a Spinner
