Android :: How To Customise The TextView Inside A Spinner
Apr 26, 2010
I have a Spinner with an ArrayAdapter that feeds Values into it. The layout for this views looks something like this:
CODE:.................
The Problem is that the text is to long for the view and the result is a very very ugly spinner. As can be seen in the screenshot:
I tried to pass the Id of my own TextView into the Adapter but everytime the spinner should be shown I get an Exception that the Id I supplied is not valid:
CODE:........................
Where do I have to define the TextView? In a separate xml file? With a surrounding viewgroup?
It would help me a lot if I could see an example of the adapter initialization and the textview definition?

I was wondering how can I place a small button inside my EditText view (AutoCompleteTextView to be more specific), just like the iPhone has on its search box. http://img69.yfrog.com/img69/8931/keyboardv.png

i have a spinner with an arrayadapter that is dynamically managed. when it gets displayed, the spinner text also displays the radio button. how do i get rid of this radio button?
NOTE: i'm not talking about the radio buttons that appear in the list that is displayed when i select the drop down on the spinner.
here is a pic of what it looks like: SIGH cannot upload image as i don't have 10 pts. so i've found a link: http://www.slashresources.com/android-gui-examples/ scroll down about 1/2 way and find the spinner example on that page. and my spinner looks like the spinner thats grayed out by the list. notice how the drop down arrow is all strecthed and yucky... thats my problem.
Here are the appropriate code snippet... couple of points:
This code is in the constructor of widget which is a subclass of Spinner value is an array of Object instances (passed when the widget gets created) there are no XML resources; all widgets are dynamically created thinking i need to "manipulate" the prompt, i added setPrompt(...) in the constructor and also in the onitemclicked event listener... this had no effect.
Q: what am i missing? seems to me i'm missing some attribute of the Spinner which is causing the radio button to also display in the text part of the spinner.

CODE:............
-- end snip code --

I am trying to populate a TextView based on the current selected options in 3 Spinner(s) but cant seem to figure out how to retrieve the selected values from the Spinners to invoke the update function with.
Here is my current code (quite messy but I'm just learning Java,
public class AgeFun extends Activity {
private String[] dayNames;
private String[] yearArray;
private final static int START_YEAR = 1990;
private static TextView textDisp;
private Button calcButton;
private static Spinner spinnerDay, spinnerYear, spinnerMonth;
private static ArrayAdapter<?> monthAdapter, dayAdapter, yearAdapter;
private int year, month, day;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Overridepublic void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
year = 2000;
month = 1;
day = 1;
textDisp = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
calcButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
calcButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// Perform action on clicks
AgeFun.updateAge(year, month, day);
// Month spinner
spinnerMonth = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinnerFirst);
monthAdapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
this, R.array.monthList, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
monthAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinnerMonth.setAdapter(monthAdapter);
// Day spinner
dayNames = new String[31];
for(int i =1; i <= 31; ++i)
{ dayNames[i-1] = Integer.toString(i);
} spinnerDay = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinnerSecond);
dayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, dayNames);
spinnerDay.setAdapter(dayAdapter);
// Year spinner
yearArray = new String[40];
for(int i =0; i < 40; ++i)
{ yearArray[i] = Integer.toString(START_YEAR+i);
} spinnerYear = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinnerThird);
yearAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, yearArray);
spinnerYear.setAdapter(yearAdapter);
updateAge(2000,1,1);
}private static void updateAge(int year, int month, int day) {
Date dob = new GregorianCalendar(year, month, day).getTime();
Date currDate = new Date();
long age = (currDate.getTime() - dob.getTime()) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24) / 365;
textDisp.setText("Your are " + Long.toString(age) + " years old");

I was wondering if its possible to set multiple styles for different pieces of text inside a TextView. For instance, I am setting the text as follows:
CODE:...........................
Now, is it possible to have a different style for each text element? I mean bold for line1, normal for word1 and so on...
I found this http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html#selectingtext:
Get our EditText object. EditText vw = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.text);
Set the EditText's text. vw.setText("Italic, highlighted, bold.");
If this were just a TextView, we could do: vw.setText("Italic, highlighted, bold.", TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE); to force it to use Spannable storage so styles can be attached. Or we could specify that in the XML.
Get the EditText's internal text storage. Spannable str = vw.getText();
Create our span sections, and assign a format to each.
CODE:............................
But it uses position numbers inside the text. Is there a cleaner way to do this?

I've got a ListView where each item in the list is contains several controls. One of the items is a checkbox, and I can check/uncheck it without problems. The other items are some TextViews and a WebView. I've got autoLink turned on and linksClickable turned on, but I can't get links to fire up the browser when I click on them. This applies to both TextView and WebView. I've tried changing the parent to a GridView instead of a ListView, playing with setFocusable(), and all that, but to no avail.
Is it even possible to have interaction on the TextView-based elements of a row in a ListView? It seems like that *should* be possible, but I've been banging my head against this problem for a few weeks with no progress. What's the secret?

I'm trying to create a game lobby for a project, and I'd like the game's status text to be a different color: red for an "[IN PROGRESS]" game and green for a game that's "[Waiting for x players]". The ListView will be populated with data, and each ListView item will have a game ID and then immediately to the right of that the game's status.
Right now I'm essentially using the Hello ListView code to create my ListView.
(In constructor)
CODE:...........
Then, I have a refresh button that obtains data from our database. It will get two Strings, one for the ID of the game, and the other for the status of the game. If the game status is 0, then it's still waiting for players. If the game status is 1, then the game has started. So, I create a gameItem to add to the gameList:
CODE:.............
This is where I'm stuck. I don't really understand how I can alter the specific TextView when I create the gameItem or when I add that to the gameList. There isn't a way I can see of accessing the TextView's properties. I see how the text of the view is set (through the mapping of the strings to "line1" and "line2", but I don't know how to change any of the properties.

I created a simple Java function to truncate a string to be displayed in my list view. I am displaying a news title and below this a news summary. I would like to have the same behavior as the image below. Currently, i am truncating the news title with 45 chars and then appending "..." at the end of it. However, when I change the orientation to landscape, the title could appear without being truncated. I don't think the app below truncates the news title, but it keeps the title in a single line and automatically "truncates". How can I achieve this behavior in my app?

If I have 2 LinearLayouts split %50/%50 everything is fine. Weights are 1 and 1. As soon as I add a TextView inside the top LinearLayout, it stretches that layout. I use "wrap_content" as the documentation says I should when it comes to weights. As you can see the red and green should be split evenly and text on grey background should be inside red box.
Here is the code:..............
Now if I switch to "fill parent" as follows it actually works but it creates another problem. Here is the code (so far so good):
So looking at above we were forced to use "fill_parent" and we would think like we fixed the problem but here is the problem if we are using "fill_parent" (I took out the textview just to show the problem, textview doesnt make the problem go away anyways):
As you can see I assign the weights 3 (top red) and 2 (bottom green) but what actually happens is they get flipped: The red becomes 2 and bottom becomes 3. Just measure the pixels too see.
Here are the results of the 3 codes: http://imgur.com/iVt8g.jpg

I use this code to generate a spinner in my app:
code:.........
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 a spinner 'aperture' set up with a list of numbers, and a spinner 'mode' with two options. When a button is pushed I need a calculation to run using various inputs, including the current selection from 'aperture' and a value derived from 'mode'. How do I call the value of a spinner so I can use it in a calculation?
Also, how do I use the spinner 'mode's selection to set this other value before implimenting it in the calculation? To be more specific, if the spinner is set to Small then the value I use in the calculation is 0.015, whereas if Large is selected I need to use 0.028
My other inputs are EditText views, so right now I am set up like this:
CODE:............
That is not the actual equation, it is just a test to make sure everything connects properly. How would I call the value of spinner 'aperture' and the Small/Large spinner 'mode'

I 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?

I am trying to populate a spinner depending on another spinner's selected item, my code is the following:
CODE:.................
what is intriguing me is that the first spinner onitemselection works perfectly ( I can see the values in LogCat) then when I change selection of the 2nd spinner I am gettging an error on this line: String selected= (String) s2.getSelectedItem(); So the compiler gets insisde then onItemSelected function of the 2nd spinner but throws an Handler exceltion on s2.getSelectedItem()
why? it works perfectly for the 1st spinner.

I've been a couple of days trying to solve this thing but I can'f figure it out.The problem is, simple activity, with simple layout, ScrollView -> LinearLayout -> and a lot of buttons inside the layout (within the scroll content). Everything works just fine but one tricky thing. When I click a button let's say at the top of the scroll content and inmediatelly I scroll down to the bottom of the content and I click other button there, nothing happens until I click a second time and all come to normal again.This can be reproduced anytime and it's code independent (i've tried more than 20 scenarios). I've not much experience in android yet but looks like the scroll listener stops the onclick listener or something like that.

So I've been extremely frustrated by this for a long time now.I've posted before, but can't seem to find a good solution. My goal is to have something pretty much exactly like the installed application details page in the Android Market.I need a list of items displayed along with other content above the list, and would like the content above to scroll up along with the list (exactly like the application details does for the "My Review" and other descriptive info).Due to responses to my previous posts, I came to believe that it really wasn't possible to do this with a ListView.So rather than using a ListView, I refactored my code to use a simple LinearLayout and add individual View items to the list, thinking I could just set each View as clickable and add an OnClickListener to each View in the LinearLayout.That's not working at all though, and now I'm getting even more frustrated.If someone can help me get the OnClickListener working, then I think it'll work, but I do need a separator for the LinearLayout.How do I add a separator like the one used for ListView to my LinearLayout?

I have a ListView that contains an Image on the left of two vertically-oriented TextViews using a RelativeLayout. When both TextViews have text it looks fine. Sometimes the TextView on the bottom won't have any text, and the problem is that the entire layout is several pixels above where it should be because it still reserves that space for text when there isn't any making the entire list have annoying blank gaps. I remember seeing an example of where someone made the layout not reserve the space, but I can't remember how he did it.

I'm trying to create a textView in the parent activity onActivityResult but the textView does not appear. There is an ImageView that takes up the whole parent activity. I can create a textView and place it, and it should go on top of the imageView?
In the parent class:
[HIGH]private void addClothes(int menuId) {
Intent chooseClothesIntent = new Intent(this, ChooseClothesActivity.class);
chooseClothesIntent.putExtra("menuId", menuId);
startActivityForResult(chooseClothesIntent, 1);
}[/HIGH]
[Code]...
then in my new activity:
[HIGH]@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
try {
ClothingItem ci = mListContents.get(position);
String imagePath = ci.getImagePath();
[Code]...
