How to change the position of a spinner according

Question

I Have two android spinner dropdown in two differnt activity.But both spinner have same data from same sourec.I want to change in position of second Activity acording to position of first activity.How to resolve this issue ?.

Updated code:

First Activity:

public class ServiceRequest extends BaseActivity implements OnItemClickListener {
    private List<Item> customerList = new ArrayList<Item>();
    private SpinnerAdapter adapter;
    public static final String EXTRA_INTENT_CUSTOMER_LIST  ="extra_intent_customer_list";

    public static final String EXTRA_INTENT_SELECTED_ITEM = "extra_intent_selected_item";
    private List<Item> items;
    Spinner spin;

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.service_request, frameLayout);

       ;


    );
                    System.out.println("Selected item "    Button login = (Button) findViewById(R.id.booking);

        final String message = autoCompView.getText().toString();
        //Create the bundle


        login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
        {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
{

                    if(customerList.isEmpty()) return;
                    Item selectedItem = (Item) spin.getSelectedItem();
                    spin.getSelectedItem().toString(+selectedItem);

              Intent intent = new Intent(ServiceRequest.this, Form.class);
//            intent.putExtra(EXTRA_INTENT_CUSTOMER_LIST, (Serializable) customerList);
                    intent.putExtra("seletedItem", selectedItem);
                    intent.putExtra(EXTRA_INTENT_SELECTED_ITEM, selectedItem);
                    startActivity(intent);
                }
            }

        });

        spin = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.service_spinner);
        adapter = new SpinnerAdapter((ArrayList<Item>) customerList, this);
        spin.setAdapter(adapter);
    }

                    JSONObject obj = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
                    Item customer = new Item();
                    customer.setId(obj.getString("ServiceId"));
                    customer.setName(obj.getString("ServiceName"));

                    // adding movie to movies array

Model Class

public class Item implements Serializable {
    String id;
    String name;

    public String getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(String id) {

Answer 1

I can found the solution. Try to change your both activity code with this,

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity{


private ArrayList<Item> customerList = new ArrayList<Item>();
private SpinnerAdapter adapter;
public static final String EXTRA_INTENT_CUSTOMER_LIST  ="extra_intent_customer_list";

public static final String EXTRA_INTENT_SELECTED_ITEM = "extra_intent_selected_item";
private List<Item> items;
Spinner spin;

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
   // getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.activity_main, null);

    Button login = (Button) findViewById(R.id.login);
    spin = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.service_spinner);

    assert login != null;
    login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

           if (spin.getSelectedItemPosition() == 0) {

               Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Please Select item", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            }
            else {

                if(customerList.isEmpty()) return;
                Item selectedItem = (Item) spin.getSelectedItem();
                Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
                intent.putExtra(EXTRA_INTENT_SELECTED_ITEM, spin.getSelectedItemPosition());
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        }

    });

    for (int i = 0; i < 1; i++) {

        Item customer = new Item();
        customer.setId(""+i);
        customer.setName("Select Obj");

        // adding movie to movies array
        customerList.add(customer);
    }

    adapter = new SpinnerAdapter((ArrayList<Item>) customerList, this);
    spin.setAdapter(adapter);


}

public void onStart(){
    super.onStart();
    BackTask bt=new BackTask();
    bt.execute();

}
private class BackTask extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,ArrayList<Item>> {

    protected void onPreExecute(){
        super.onPreExecute();

    }
    protected ArrayList<Item> doInBackground(Void... params) {
        InputStream is = null;
        String result = "";
        try {
            HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://my_url/json");
            HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
            HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
            // Get our response as a String.
            is = entity.getContent();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        //convert response to string
        try {
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "utf-8"));
            String line = null;
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                result += line;
            }
            is.close();
            //result=sb.toString();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        // parse json data
        try {
            JSONArray jArray = new JSONArray(result);
            for (int i = 0; i < jArray.length(); i++) {
                JSONObject obj = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
                Item customer = new Item();
                customer.setId(obj.getString("ServiceId"));
                customer.setName(obj.getString("ServiceName"));

                // adding movie to movies array
                customerList.add(customer);
            }
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return customerList;
    }
    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(ArrayList<Item> customerList) {
        if(customerList != null && !customerList.isEmpty()){
           // adapter.updateDate(customerList);

private ProgressDialog pDialog;
Spinner spin;
String service;
Item selectedItem;
// flag for Internet connection status
Boolean isInternetPresent = false;

private ArrayList<Item> customerList = new ArrayList<Item>();
private SpinnerAdapter adapter;
private List<Item> items;

AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener listener;

Spinner service_need;
AutoCompleteTextView autoCompView;
String obj;
int pos;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);
    //getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.activity_second, null);

    if(getIntent().hasExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_INTENT_SELECTED_ITEM)){
        pos = getIntent().getIntExtra(MainActivity.EXTRA_INTENT_SELECTED_ITEM,0);

    }

    service_need = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.service_need);

    for (int i = 0; i < 1; i++) {

        Item customer = new Item();
        customer.setId(""+i);
        customer.setName("Select Obj");

        // adding movie to movies array
        customerList.add(customer);
    }


    adapter = new SpinnerAdapter(customerList, this);

    service_need.setAdapter(adapter);

}

public void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    BackTask bt = new BackTask();
    bt.execute();
}

private class BackTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, ArrayList<Item>> {
    ArrayList<String> list;

    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();


    }

    protected ArrayList<Item> doInBackground(Void... params) {

            is = entity.getContent();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        //convert response to string
        try {
            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "utf-8"));
            String line = null;
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                result += line;
            }
            is.close();

                JSONObject obj = jArray.getJSONObject(i);
                Item customer = new Item();
                customer.setId(obj.getString("ServiceId"));
                customer.setName(obj.getString("ServiceName"));
                customerList.add(customer);
            }
        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return customerList;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(ArrayList<Item> customerList) {
        if(customerList != null && !customerList.isEmpty()){

            service_need.setSelection(pos);

        }

    }
}}

Issue1: NullPointerException in SecondActivity due to null object spinner. Spinner Id in second activity is Service_need.

Issue2: Back_task DoInBackground method in SecondActivity return null,it must return ArrayList to validate in OnPostExecute.

Thanks.

Hope it helps.!

Answer 2

This should be the Intent in the ServiceRequest activity:

Intent intent = new Intent(ServiceRequest.this, Form.class);

Bundle extras = new Bundle();
extras.putString("local", autoCompView.getText().toString());
extras.putInt("position", spin.getSelectedItemPosition());
intent.putExtras(extras);

startActivity(intent);

And this should be how you set the Spinner in the onCreate() method of your Form activity:

spin = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
adapter = new SpinAdapter(this, customerList);
spin.setAdapter(adapter);

Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
spin.setSelection(extras.getInt("position"));

Answer 3

get first spinner position and pass another activity through intent and set first spinner position to second spinner. (second spinner must be custom like spinner inflate with edittext).

Answer 4

lets assume your position is correct, but you can verify with a simple Log.d(tag, "pos:"+position) and that your spinner is being correctly populated with customerList (you can visually verify that or Log.d(tag, "size:"+adapter.getCount()) or spin.getCount())

2 things (or both) to try:

1. your adapter.notifyDataSetChanged() should come immediately after customerList.addAll(position,customerList). if you do setSelection before that, then your spinner is still empty.

2. small chance your spinner ui is not ready yet, so do this:

   spin.post(new Runnable() {
       @Override
       public void run() {
           spin.setSelection(position);
       }
   });
   

Answer 5

Use setSelection(position) in place of setSelection(position, false)

Answer 6

private List<Item> customerList = new ArrayList<Item>();

Customer list is the list of data model "Item", a pojo class.

position = customerList.indexOf(bundle.getString("name")); 

In this line you are trying to get index of selected item by passing string. Array list will not be able to compare two different type of object. You have to pass a "item" instance : position = customerList.indexOf(item);

And you have to override "equals" methods in Item class using some unique properties of the class. This equals method will be used to compare two object and list will return index of object if present in the list. Please check this and this for clarification.

Data Modal class

public class Item implements Serializable {
int id;
String name;

public int getId() {
    return id;
}

public void setId(int id) {
    this.id = id;
}

public String getName() {
    return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
}

@Override
public boolean equals(Object o) {
    if (this == o) return true;
    if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;

    Item item = (Item) o;

    if (getId() != item.getId()) return false;
    return getName().equals(item.getName());

}

}
