I am getting the text 'android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCursor@435b9ba0' returned from a spinner.getSelectedItem().toString() call. I'm not sure why. The spinner is tied to a SimpleCursorAdapter.
Here is the code
cCategories = (Cursor) myAdapter.getAllCategories();
this.startManagingCursor(cCategories);
SimpleCursorAdapter scaCategories = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.track_category_item,cCategories,new String[] {DBAdapter.KEY_CATEGORIES_NAME},new int[]{R.id.text1});
scaCategories.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.track_category_dropdown_item);
mCatSpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.thecategory);
mCatSpinner.setAdapter(scaCategories);
if(mCatSpinner.isSelected() != true) {
mCatSpinner.setSelection(0);
}
and the xml track_category_item.xml
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/text1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@android:id/text1"
style="?android:attr/spinnerItemStyle"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:singleLine="true">
</TextView>
track_category_dropdown_item.xml
<CheckedTextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/text1"
style="?android:attr/spinnerDropDownItemStyle"
android:singleLine="true"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"
android:ellipsize="marquee" />
The spinner xml looks like this
<Spinner
android:id="@+id/thecategory"
android:prompt="@string/SELECT_CATEGORY"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_x="15px"
android:layout_y="133px" >
</Spinner>
and the cursor being returned is
public Cursor getAllCategories()
{
return db.query(DATABASE_CATEGORIES_TABLE, new String[] {
KEY_CATEGORIES_ROWID,
KEY_CATEGORIES_NAME,
KEY_CATEGORIES_DEFAULT},
null,
null,
null,
null,
null);
}
The spinner appears to work properly. When I try to save this is what is passed as the value of the selected item using spinner.getSelectedItem().toString().
Anyone see anything blatently wrong here. not sure what to do.
thanks patrick
