How can I popup a spinner when clicking on a TextView? I then like to choose a value an return this value for display in the TextView, similar how a Date/Time picker works.

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 have an Android Spinner and I'd like to get a callback when the user selects something from its popup dialog. It seems like
setOnItemClickListener() or setOnItemSelectedListener()
would be the right method to use, but neither get invoked when I select one of the items in the spinner. Is there a correct way to do this? Per commonsware's suggestion, I did the following, but my onItemSelected() method is never being called:
final Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
spinner.setAdapter( new ArrayAdapter<SettingValue>(getContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1, setting.getSettingValues() ) );
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener( new OnItemSelectedListener() {
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) { Log.d("BOOGA");
final SettingValue settingValue = (SettingValue)parent.getSelectedItem();
final Editor edit = getContext().getSharedPreferences( PREFS_CONTEXT_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
edit.putString(setting.name(), settingValue.name());
edit.commit();
} public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) { // do nothing
} } );
Is there a way to replace the standard ListView that pops up when opening a Spinner with a custom one?
I would like for my Spinner list to be Filterable (and/or even possibly have two tabs with different lists the user could select options from). Is this achievable or do I have to do my own implementation alltogether?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 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.

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 tried the apps "Handcent" and "Sms Popup" and set them to automatically display a popup on the lock screen when there is a new sms (similiar to the iPhone).Both apps, however, only display the popup after the lock screen.I guess this has something to do with this "great" touchwiz overlay Samsung is using. Any way to fix this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI searched the market and the forum but found nothing like this.I think SMS popup is a great app and would love something similar for email that would pop up a box telling me I got an email, who it was from and the subject line with an option to open or ignore.I plan to email the SMS popup developer but I was wondering if anyone else had come across something like this or if anyone else would be interested?I'm going to link the dev to this thread, so if its something you'd like chime in here so he knows there is interest.

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.

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 am trying to populate a spinner depending on another spinner's selected item, my code is the following:

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 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 have a TextView that I created in the main.xml. In my app.java I am dynamically positioning that TextView based on where the user taps the screen. The problem I am having is that when I call myTextView.setPadding(100,100,0,0), it moves the actual Text of the TextView, but does not move the Colored Background of the TextView.

I am making an application like Facebook. In m.facebook.com, when I open it I see they do one thing specailly.

Because the width of Mobile screen is small so the real message like tha

I guess they use TextView for (BackStreetBoy1010938920) but I can't do like this.
