For a widget I am creating for the Android OS, I want the user to first select a certain option from a Spinner. Just like when you add a shortcut to the homescreen.
Is that possible or do you have to start an Activity? If it is possible, can anyone explain how to do it?

I have a selection for some items using a spinner widget. At the moment the spinner will load a simple Textview and show the name of the item.It is possible to define an own view to show inside the spinner row? I would suspect it being similar to a custom List row.I simply want to show an individual icon left from the spinner text for each item in the list.

CODE:..........
This will work fine in linearLayout .when I use the code in the TableLayout, the control is not displayed.I have to generate dynamic layout so i am not using the XML part,only through Java code i am adding the contorls.

All the components gets added other than Spinner.
I successfully binded a spinner widget to a simple cursor adapter, but I started having problems when I tried to add a new item to the table which feeds the spinner by clicking an "add new item" button. The idea was to launch a new activity which returns the rowid of the just added element, and use it to set the new position.
What I basically did is to implement something like:
break; in the "onActivityResult" method, the rowid has the correct value but setSelection has no effect. I also tried to force the argument to some other values, but still with no result. If I call it in the onCreate method, it works beautifully. Moreover, I am still not sure that setSelection is the right method to call, since its arg is named "position" in the doc, while I am passing an "id".
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:
I have customised the spinner items background into black color.But border around spinner and the separartor between each spinner item is in white color. I want to change separator color and border to dark gray color.
How can i change these color? Is spinner uses list view or some other as parent to populate items in spinner?
If so can i change the separator background of parent view?

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
I want to display a list of strings in the spinner, the list is generated at runtime as a result of a function so it can not be in arrays.xml.
I tried doing:
CODE:...........
But this crashes my application.
My app has a 1*4 icon size widget. When a user tries to add a widget I provide with a configuration screen. and some data is collected - it is verified by the server - it is added to the local DB with appWidgetID as the key - all is good. when user hits save, if there is not enough space, he is given a polite toast - "No more room on this home screen". Now my problem is that the application is not informed of this. Application still assumes the widget was created and sits back and wait for the broadcast to update the widget after certain amount of time.
Can anyone tell me if i can find out via a broadcast or a call back or any method possible to determine if the widget was not successfully created, so that i can mark that record in my DB as deleted. Or better if i can know the space available beforehand via some magic ninja code. my whole application design is disturbed because of this problem.
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'

why i get these errors,but it happends right when i add the widget, i believe i might have something to do with the settings activity,it used to work, but then suddenly stops working...
I have a widget that displays a set of information. What I would like to do is to give the user the opportunity to choose the background color/image. I would like to have a popup when the user is selecting the widget to choose the background. So how would I make the popup? And how would I apply the background dynamically?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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:

why? it works perfectly for the 1st spinner.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI followed the tutorial off code.google.com to add widgets to your app. For some reason, when I run the app on the phone for testing, then long click the home screen to add widgets, my widget is not an option. I imagine I am doing something wrong, but I thought I followed the tutorial pretty well. Here is some of my code, please offer a suggestion of why I can't add my widget. BTW i don't care that it doesn't do anything yet, or even if it breaks, I just want to see it as an option first (small steps). Thanks for any help or feedback.
