Android :: Set A Custom Font For A Spinner?
Apr 19, 2010
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.

I have a spinner with items, populated via ArrayAdapter. I want to change font style for some (not for all) of spinner items, both for spinner's combobox and listbox. I guess that I need to subclass something, but I don't understand what. How can I do that?

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>

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.

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?

I have an appwidget which displays time with some text. This text can have different fonts, which the user can choose from. Every minute the appwidget updates to display the correct time. But for some unknown reason sometimes when the widget is updated the text shows anything except the time, ranging from chines to random numbers.

I'm attempting to use the Neucha font from Google Font Directory (link) in my Android app.
With other custom fonts, unsupported characters are still displayed, such as Japanese characters, as well as accented characters. However with the Neucha font, most unsupported characters (such as Asian ones) are displayed, but some accented characters (â, ã, ä, å, ą, ô, õ, ö, ő for example) are not displayed. Instead blank spaces are shown in their places.
Is this an issue with the font, or with Android? What can I do to get characters not supported by this font to be displayed using the default font in an EditText view?

I recently decided to remake my UI, I had text built into my ImageViews which I was advised against, so I have now gone with TextViews, however I would like to carry on using the Roboto font. Is it possible to do so?
I have already added "Roboto-Light" to the assets/fonts folder but I'm looking for an easy way to implement it since I want some TextViews to have the font and some to be standard.
Is there a way I can do it in the XML? So I can select individual TextViews rather than the entire application?

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?

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()

This is my first post. I've had a Moto Droid since day one, and I just love it. It is without a doubt better than any phone that I've had over the years, and that includes the iPhone, BB, etc.
However, there are 2 things that I don't understand - Font size and a spell checker. It is imposiible to read the small font size in emails or text messages.
1. Why has there not been an app to either change the font size or be able to zoom in? Picasy has incorporated multi-touch for zooming, so I've to assume that its doable! Why not have the same in an email client.
2. Why is there not an email client out there that allows for spell checking? There are many such apps for the BB! I am a terrible speller.
I am not complaining, I just want to understand the limitations from a developers prospective, as I am sure these isuues will eventually be addressed.

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?
