This is my code and I can not get the items add inside Spinner.
I don't know what's going wrong, and unable to find any other way!
Java:
spinner = (Spinner)getView().findViewById(R.id.spinner);
String[] datos = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.items);
ArrayAdapter<String> adaptador = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, datos);
adaptador.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adaptador);
XML:
<Spinner
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/spinner"
android:layout_margin="26dp"
android:textColor="#FFF"/>
strings.xml:
<string-array name="items">
<item >Item 1</item>
<item >Item 2</item>
<item >Item 3</item>
<item >Item 4</item>
</string-array>
Thanks in advance for the help.
your spinner text color is white: change it to other color.
<Spinner
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/spinner"
android:layout_margin="26dp"
android:textColor="#000000"/> //change this
also you can directly access the array resource in your layout. Like:
android:entries="@array/items" //add this in your spinner layout
EDIT
you can try using a custom layout for your spinner item:
<TextView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:gravity="left"
android:background="#000000" //dark background
android:text="Test"
android:textColor="#ffffff" //white text
android:padding="5dp"
/>
use the layout using:
ArrayAdapter<String> adaptador = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),
R.layout.spinner_item, datos);
here R.layout.spinner_item
is the spinner custom layout
In my case just added some padding in the XML file.
<Spinner android:id="@+id/spinnerMuestreo"
android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/textViewNumMuestreo"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="8dp" <!--Try adding this line. -->
/>
Try This XML Only
<Spinner
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/spinner"
android:layout_margin="26dp"
android:textColor="@android:color/black"
android:entries="@array/items"/>
Remove Below From Acticity
String[] datos = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.items);
ArrayAdapter<String> adaptador = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, datos);adaptador.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adaptador);
<resources>
<string-array name="planets_array">
<item>Mercury</item>
<item>Venus</item>
<item>Earth</item>
<item>Mars</item>
<item>Jupiter</item>
<item>Saturn</item>
<item>Uranus</item>
<item>Neptune</item>
</string-array>
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
// Create an ArrayAdapter using the string array and a default spinner layout
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this,
R.array.planets_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
// Specify the layout to use when the list of choices appears
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
// Apply the adapter to the spinner
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
on selected item
public class SpinnerActivity extends Activity implements OnItemSelectedListener {
...
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int pos, long id) {
// An item was selected. You can retrieve the selected item using
// parent.getItemAtPosition(pos)
}
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
// Another interface callback
}
}
before that ..
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
