Android :: Spinner Selection Box On Activity And Dialog
Jun 22, 2010
I have a spinner selection box on my activity, but now I want to remove the spinner from the main view and make the selection available by an option from the menu button. How do I get the dialog the spinner shows if I click it without having the spinner? Currently I fill the spinner using a SimpleCursorAdapter like this:
Cursor c = db.fetchAllSets();
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, c, new String[] { DatabaseAdapter.SET_KEY_NAME }, new int[] { android.R.id.text1 });
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
mSetsSpinner.setAdapter(adapter);
So now I'm planning to remove the spinner from my activity, add a new button to the menu and in the onOptionsItemSelected(...) show a dialog with the list of available selection - just the way it is right now after clicking the spinner object.

So I am new to developing android apps and had a question. I have a spinner and based on the selection I was wondering the best way to call another class / layout.Here is my main class
Code:
public class BestBuyMobileActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
[code]....

I'm trying to use Spinner as a button with selection pop-up. Basically I want an icon and when user clicks it - the popup list is displayed and user can make a selection. The Spinner happily accepts icon image as drawable background. Unfortunately when I select a value the text overlays the background. Is it possible to set selection text color as a transparent? Or maybe there's a better way?

I am trying to get a Spinner to work in Android. It displays fine and I can select any one of the options in the list. But how do I transfer that to a string?I would have thought in the code below that 'selected' would hold the selected string, but I get an 'Illegal modifier for the local class YourItemSelectedListener; only abstract or final is permitted' error on the 'YourItemSelectedListener'.What am I doing wrong?

I have a Spinner whose items comes from an ArrayAdaper, and I want the Spinner to initially show that no item has been selected. When the user clicks on the Spinner it's DropDownView should display just those items available for selection.
I don't want to add an empty/blank item at the head of my list of items because that means that it shows as an avalaible selection in the DropDownView and looks pretty lame. And if a selection is made I want it to be a valid one.
I tried spinner#setSelection(-1); but that doesn't work. The first item remains selected.
I tried setting no Adapter initially (which provides the desired initial view) and had hoped to configure the appropriate adapter in the OnClickListener, but spinner#setOnClickListener throw a RuntimeException saying "You probably want to use #setOnItemClickListener instead". And trying to use #setOnItemClickListener throws a RuntimeException saying it is not valid for a Spinner.
Surely this is a common use case. How can I set the Spinner to initially show as empty?

I'm binding a data table into a Spinner. But I cannot set the default selection for the Spinner based on a specified identifier which comes from the id column of the table.
How can I do that?

As the title says, i have a Spinner with just a couple of options and a button. I didnt declared any Listener for the spinner, instead of that, what i want is use the button and perform different actions depending on the spinner selected option.
So, i declared a handler in the button option "android:onClick", but once there, i dont know how to access the option selected in the Spinner.

I've implemented a spinner with an OnItemSelectedListener event handler. When I initialize the spinner and when a user makes a selection the even handler gets called. What I need is to determine when a user makes a selection. Is there a way to determine in the OnItemSelectedListener whether the event was triggered because of data initialization, or because of a user selection? Am I going down the wrong path trying to do this with the OnItemSelectedListener? Is there a better way to to capture a user selection event on a spinner control?

I 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:

When I click the home screen, android pops up a 'selection dialog' (i am not sure what is the technical term) to ask me to add 'Widget',Shortcut', 'Folder'.Can you please tell me how to pop up those kind of selection dialog?Where can I find example for that?

I have a dialog window that covers 1/3 of the entire screen height and is displayed on top of my activity. The dialog holds two AutoCompleteTextView fields.
The problem I'm facing is that when the user starts typing something into the AutoCompleteTextView, the list with all suggestions only shows up to the bottom end of the dialog, but doesn't go beyond that even the list is longer. It looks like it's cut off. (screenshot left)
Only after I long-press an item from the suggestion list, the list will be shown in full length. (screenshot right)
Screenhot is at: http://img704.imageshack.us/i/dialogdropdown.png/
How to fix this behaviour so that the list shows in full length right from the beginning, when the user starts typing something?
Code-wise there's nothing special, all I do is:
CODE:..........
One workaround idea is to somehow dispatch a motion event to simulate a touch (but then not selecting though) one of the list items. Any concrete idea in code for a solution.

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>

I am sure that everybody can easily recur the problem I am facing. There is a Spinner in the view, which includes a few entries. When I click the Spinner, it pops up a dialog so user can choose an entry. All these are very normal and you can find such things in SDK's API demo. The problem is: when the dialog is still on focus, if you change the phone's orientation, an exception will be thrown. Something like this:

I'm trying to create a form like dialog to accept a few EditText and a spinner. Somehow I can display the spinner but then I start implementing the array and setOnItemSelectedListener it crash. Did I do anything wrong?
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
final View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.generate_pwd, (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.generate_pwd));
final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
Spinner spin=(Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner);
spin.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
ArrayAdapter<String> pwdTypeArray = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, R.array.password_type);
pwdTypeArray.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spin.setAdapter(pwdTypeArray); builder.setView(layout);
// Now configure the AlertDialog builder.setTitle(R.string.generate_pwd_title);

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
} } );

This seems to be an Android-wide problem, which you can see in API demos under Views -> Progress Bar -> Dialogs. Basically, if you show a progress dialog, it works as expected the first time around. If you dismiss it and show it again (without destroying the activity or anything like that), the spinning image stops spinning.
In the API Demo you can see this by clicking "Show Indeterminate", pressing back to dismiss the dialog, and clicking the button again. I've tried constructing my own progress dialog, however it shows the same problem, as the problem is with the "ProgressBar" spinning image.

I have a button that pops up with a dialog box on click. I want the dialog box to have an EditText and a Spinner inside the dialog box. I don't know how I'd set the view for it, I have the code for an AlertDialog and it works, it's just the EditText and Spinner that I need to place inside it then I can get on with the rest of the app's code. Please can someone show me how I'd add an EditText and Spinner please?
