So I was able to make a Spinner
work in a single Activity
, but when I transferred the code to a Fragment it obviously didn't work.
I am getting an error in these two lines:
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.category_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapterItem = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, suggestedItems);
and I know that the context this
needs to be changed. I already tried to use getActivity()
, but that didn't work as well.
Some insight needed! Thank you!
public class NominateFragment extends Fragment {
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_nominate_page, container, false);
//SPINNER
Spinner spinner = (Spinner)getView().findViewById(R.id.category);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.category_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item); // Create an ArrayAdapter using the string array and a default spinner layout
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); // Specify the layout to use when the list of choices appears
spinner.setAdapter(adapter); // Apply the adapter to the spinner
//AUTOCOMPLETE
AutoCompleteTextView nominateItem = (AutoCompleteTextView)getView().findViewById(R.id.autocomplete_nominate_item); // Get a reference to the AutoCompleteTextView in the layout
String[] suggestedItems = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.suggested_items_array); // Get the string array
ArrayAdapter<String> adapterItem = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, suggestedItems); // Create the adapter and set it to the AutoCompleteTextView
nominateItem.setAdapter(adapterItem);
return view;
}
}
