Hello anyone,

I have read several documentation en threads about this subject but still not working.
I have a spinner with several items.
I want to choose a item but when i run the application he picks only the first item in the spinner and not the item that i choose.

I have a array frees with several items.
here the code i use:

Code: Select all

ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> freestadapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
                this, R.array.frees, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
                freestSpinner.setAdapter(freestadapter);
                freestSpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView parent, View v,
                  int position, long id) {
               freesclick = freestSpinner.getSelectedItem();   //freesclick is a Object i also tried  a String .
               
            }
            
            public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView arg0) {
            
            }

         });


I don't no of the line feesclick = freestSpinner.getSelectedItem(); is correct.
Have anybody experience with this subject.

Thanks in advance.

public void setSelection(int position)

Sets the currently selected item

Parameters

position Index (starting at 0) of the data item to be selected.

Thanks for your suggestion.

If i set the selection like this:
freestSpinner.setSelection(0); then its take only that item on that position.
The setSelection takes only one int.
That is not what i won't.
I have 7 items in my spinner i want to choose a item and use that item to search into database.

Iám newbee in android.
I have expierience with comboboxen in other language and that was not a problem to activate a item but in android is that for me little more complex.

Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry, I understand you badly. Say in detail about your task and show total code if it's perhaps.

You have 7 elements, that have names:
1 Element
2 Element
3 Element
4 Element
5 Element
6 Element
7 Element

Do you want programmatically choose e.g. 3 Element? Indeed, freestSpinner.setSelection(2) doesn't fit? Imho, must choose 3 Element. Really not like this?

first:

I have a dialog thats popup when i push a button in my main layout.
In this this dialog i have a spinner with 7 items ( A array list called frees ).
I have bind this array to the spinner like this:


My dialog.xml snippet is like this:



Second:

I want to select a item in the spinner like this according the docs.

But this doesn't work it shows only the first item in the array(0).
If i select the third item in the array(2) he shows again the first item in the array(0)
That is my problem it doesn't select the item i want but shows only the first item in t.he array(0).

Reading the docs i can use the setOnItemSelectedListener on the spinner so i did that like this:

I tried several options in the public void onItemSelectedListener but nothing work.
Maby this help you.

Thanks in advance.

I make SpinnerSample for new SDK - see here, there choose Ukraine (setSelection(2)) - http://www.maximyudin.com/?p=26

Thanks tumOrcOre and plusminus for suggestions and time.
It works fine now.

I have download the new version SDK (M5).
I don't have any problems more (spinner.setSelectClickListener, Database) all the problems are solved with the new version SDK.
