I am new to Android programming and at the moment I am trying to make some spinners with four array elements (string-array), and then save the current state with shared preferences. I've already done a lot of research, but most of the solutions only work for activities, and I am working in a fragment.
The code now is as follows:
FragmentSection3.java
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.preferences, container, false);
final Spinner spinner2 = (Spinner) v.findViewById(R.id.pref2_spinner);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter2 = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
getActivity(), R.array.spinner_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter2.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner2.setAdapter(adapter2);
spinner2.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getActivity().getBaseContext()); //context
SharedPreferences.Editor prefEditor = prefs.edit();
prefEditor.putString("savedValue",spinner2.getSelectedItem().toString());
prefEditor.commit();
String savedValue=PreferenceManager
.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getActivity().getBaseContext()) //context
.getString("savedValue","");
for(int i=0; i<4; i++)
if(savedValue.equals(spinner2.getItemAtPosition(i).toString())){
spinner2.setSelection(i);
break;
}
}
@Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent){}
});
return v;
}
My Spinner in xml
preferences.xml
<Spinner
android:layout_weight="50"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/pref2_spinner" />
String Array
strings.xml
<string-array name="spinner_array">
<item>Keine</item>
<item>Eher Keine</item>
<item>Große</item>
<item>Eher Große</item>
</string-array>
I don't know why I can't save my spinner with sharedpreferences, every time I leave the fragment it sets everything back.
