Toolbar Spinner Dropdown inflating issue - android

I am passing my custom layout in constructor of ArrayAdapter<String>:
private static class ActionSpinnerAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
public ActionSpinnerAdapter(final Context context) {
super(context,
R.layout.action_spinner_text, //This is my own layout
//R.id.action_text,
Lists.newArrayList(ACTION_REPLY, ACTION_REPLY_ALL, ACTION_FORWARD));
action_spinner_text.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/action_text"
android:layout_width="90dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingBottom="10dp"
android:paddingLeft="8dip"
android:paddingStart="8dp"
android:paddingTop="10dp"
android:paddingRight="8dp"
android:paddingEnd="8dp"
android:text="#string/reply_all_action"
android:textSize="18sp" />
And these are my getView() and getDropDownView() methods:
#Override
public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View result = super.getDropDownView(position, convertView, parent);
result.setBackgroundColor(mContext.getResources().getColor(R.color.white));
TextView textView = ((TextView) result.findViewById(R.id.action_text));
textView.setTextColor(mContext.getResources().getColor(R.color.dark_grey));
textView.setText(getDisplayValue(position));
return result;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View result = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
TextView textView = ((TextView) result.findViewById(R.id.action_text));
textView.setTextColor(mContext.getResources().getColor(R.color.white));
textView.setText(getDisplayValue(position));
return result;
}
But When I click on DropDown from Toolbar it shows text values with black background on right side.
What went wrong?

I had exactly the same problem, and it seems like there's a bug in Pre-Lollipop devices when you specify a size in the dropdown view that is not "match_parent" on "android:layout_width", basically all you need to do is
this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/action_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingBottom="10dp"
android:paddingLeft="8dip"
android:paddingStart="8dp"
android:paddingTop="10dp"
android:paddingRight="8dp"
android:paddingEnd="8dp"
android:text="#string/reply_all_action"
android:textSize="18sp" />
Hope it Helps!

Android remove padding from Spinner's text

How can I remove the padding from around the Spinner's text?
My layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinner"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:background="#ff00ff"
android:spinnerMode="dropdown" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textLabel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Label"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:background="#0000ff"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
</LinearLayout>
Activity does not do anything special just put some content into the Spinner. Please let me know if you need it, I'll attach it then.
I'd like to make the Spinner's text to be exactly aligned to Label while the purple box also aligned to blue one. I tried to set padding to 0dp, but it does not change anything. Also tried removing the background, but it also does not change this padding.
And of course if I mess with margins, I can make the texts to be in line, but then the boxes will not stay where they are now.
How shall I do this?
Using a custom overridden View seems to work but why are padding on the top and bottom?
I tried even changing all padding to 0, but still.
Here is my actual adapter:
public class MyAdapter extends ArrayAdapter {
public MyAdapter(#NonNull Context context, int resource, String[] params) {
super(context, resource, params);
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
view.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0);
return view;
}
}
You can try adding this to the adapter.
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
view.setPadding(0, view.getPaddingTop(), view.getPaddingRight(), view.getPaddingBottom());
return view;
}

How to remove the Shadow of the Spinner DropDownView

I use the widget Spinner with a custom adapter and custom views in spinnerMode dropdown. My problem is that I cannot remove the default shadow that casts the dropdown of the Spinner.
Here is the code inside the Activity
mSpinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner);
setSpinnerData();
customSpinnerAdapter = new CustomSpinnerAdapter(this,R.layout.spinner_item,CustomListViewValuesArr );
mSpinner.setAdapter(customSpinnerAdapter);
mSpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) {
itemSelect(pos);
}
#Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> adapterView) {
}
});
Also this is the Spinner inside the Layout of the Activity:
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinner"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:spinnerMode="dropdown"
android:background="#null"
android:padding="0dp"
android:layout_margin="15dp"
android:dropDownVerticalOffset="#dimen/vertical_offset"/>
I use my own custom Adapter :
public class CustomSpinnerAdapter extends ArrayAdapter {
public ArrayList CustomListViewValuesArr;
LayoutInflater inflater;
Typeface myTypeFace;
SpinnerItem item = null;
public CustomSpinnerAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId, ArrayList CustomListViewValuesArr) {
super(context, textViewResourceId, CustomListViewValuesArr);
this.CustomListViewValuesArr = CustomListViewValuesArr;
this.inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
this.myTypeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),"fonts/OpenSans-Regular.ttf");
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
return getCustomView(position, convertView, parent);
}
#Override
public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
return getCustomDropDownView(position, convertView, parent);
}
public View getCustomDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
Log.d("","CustomListViewValuesArr" + position);
/********** Inflate spinner_rows.xml file for each row ( Defined below ) ************/
View row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, parent, false);
item = (SpinnerItem) CustomListViewValuesArr.get(position);
/***** Get each Model object from Arraylist ********/
TextView label = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.spinner_drop_down);
// Default selected Spinner item
label.setText(item.getFilterName());
label.setTypeface(myTypeFace);
return row;
}
public View getCustomView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
Log.d("","CustomListViewValuesArr" + position);
/********** Inflate spinner_rows.xml file for each row ( Defined below ) ************/
View row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.spinner_item, parent, false);
item = (SpinnerItem) CustomListViewValuesArr.get(position);
/***** Get each Model object from Arraylist ********/
TextView label = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.spinner_item);
TextView hint = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.spinner_hint);
hint.setTypeface(myTypeFace);
// Default selected Spinner item
label.setText(item.getFilterName());
label.setTypeface(myTypeFace);
return row;
}
}
And finally I use custom views for the Dropdown
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:elevation="-6dp"
android:layout_height="35dp">
<TextView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
style="#style/spinnerDropDownItemStyle"
android:singleLine="true"
android:id="#+id/spinner_drop_down"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:textColor="#color/spinner_font_color"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
android:ellipsize="marquee">
</TextView >
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#color/color_hint_change_pass"/>
and for the Spinner Item
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:background="#drawable/spinners_background"
style="#style/spinnerItemStyle"
android:layout_height="35dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/spinner_hint"
android:gravity="center"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="#color/spinner_font_color"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:id="#+id/spinner_hint"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/spinner_item" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/spinner_item"
android:textColor="#color/spinner_header_color"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="sss"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/spinner_hint"
android:layout_toEndOf="#+id/spinner_hint" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="25dp"
android:layout_height="25dp"
android:src="#drawable/down_arrow_spinner"
android:layout_marginRight="17dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="1dp"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:id="#+id/imageView2" />
What I have tried and didn't worked :
Add Elevation to 0dp in the Spinner widget
Add null background to Spinner
Thanks in Advance !
Use this:
android:popupElevation="0dp"
Eventually I used an attributed of a spinner android:popupBackground="#null" with this the background of the pop up of the spinner is removed so and the shadow does. The only thing the I had to change was to Assign a background of #fff in my custom spinner dropdown item. So I changed it like this:
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#fff"
android:layout_height="35dp">
<TextView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
style="#style/spinnerDropDownItemStyle"
android:singleLine="true"
android:id="#+id/spinner_drop_down"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:textColor="#color/spinner_font_color"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
android:ellipsize="marquee">
</TextView >
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#color/color_hint_change_pass"/>
</RelativeLayout >

Android Spinner Initial Padding

I am creating an Android app that consists mainly of a form. This form needs to have EditText and Spinners side-by-side (for this I chose a LinearLayout). My final goal is to have the text in the Spinner align vertically with the text in the EditText; however, I also want to have padding on the options in the expanded Spinner. This padding messes up the Spinner alignment as it appears in the form.
Here is my code for a custom Spinner list item:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/transportation_spinner_item_textView"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textColor="#android:color/black"
android:textSize="18dp"/>
Here is my code for the main form:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearLayout6"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/divider3"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="100"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/ip_minutes_label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/ip_minutes"
android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
android:textSize="12sp"/>
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/ip_minutes_spinner"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:spinnerMode="dialog"
android:gravity="bottom"/>
</RelativeLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/ip_charge"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="100"
android:layout_gravity="bottom">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="100"
android:editable="false"
android:hint="#string/ip_charge"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
</LinearLayout>
And here is an image of how it looks:
Image of alignment with above code
I have been Googling and trying to adjust the padding/margins of different views for hours, so if anyone has any suggestions, that would be great. Thanks!
I'm not sure I fully understand, when you say,
This padding messes up the Spinner alignment as it appears in the
form.
Do you mean the DropDownView? that shows when the Spinner is clicked?
If so, simply create a separate layout for the DropDownView.
In your ArrayAdapter you will have the following methods,
public View getDropDownView(int position, View cnvtView, ViewGroup prnt)
public View getView(int pos, View cnvtView, ViewGroup prnt)
Just have them return two different Views, e.g
#Override
public View getDropDownView(int position, View cnvtView, ViewGroup prnt) {
return getCustomDropDownView(position, cnvtView, prnt);
}
#Override
public View getView(int pos, View cnvtView, ViewGroup prnt) {
return getCustomView(pos, cnvtView, prnt);
}
and
public View getCustomView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService( Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE );
View mySpinner = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_spinner, parent, false);
TextView main_text = (TextView) mySpinner.findViewById(R.id.spinner_text);
main_text.setText(spinnerValues[position]);
return mySpinner;
}
public View getCustomDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService( Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE );
View mySpinner = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_dropdown_spinner, parent, false);
TextView main_text = (TextView) mySpinner.findViewById(R.id.spinner_text);
main_text.setText(spinnerValues[position]);
return mySpinner;
}

Custom Spinner with default down arrow in it

I have a custom layout for spinner. Its both selected and dropdown list item's background color will change depending on user demand. So i am changing depending on their values.. so far so good. But the problem is since i am using custom layout or changing background color, there is no arrow to show that it is a spinner. When i add arrow from layout then all even dropdown list have that arrow with them. I can manipulate it by setting arrow's background to null for drop down items but it is not a good way and dont always work. So how can i show spinner default arrow with my custom spinner without using spinner style. Dont forget that i am changing background of every item.
Here is my custom_spinner.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:weightSum="6" android:id="#+id/spinnerMainLayout"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:weightSum="14"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:text="New Text" android:textSize="19sp" android:layout_weight="5"
android:layout_gravity="center" android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:gravity="center" android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
android:id="#+id/type" android:typeface="serif"/>
<View
android:layout_width="1dp" android:layout_marginLeft="8dp" android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_marginBottom="4dp"
android:background="#666666" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp" android:layout_weight="9"
android:typeface="serif" android:maxLines="3" android:minLines="2"
android:layout_gravity="center" android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:text="sd" android:textSize="18sp" android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:id="#+id/history" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
and here is my custom spinner class
class CustomSpinner extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
private String[] fixStrs = new String[]{"Definition","Result","Error"};
public CustomSpinner(Context ctx, int txtViewResourceId, String[] objects) {
super(ctx, txtViewResourceId, objects);
//fixStrs = objects;
}
#Override public View getDropDownView(int position, View cnvtView, ViewGroup prnt) {
return getCustomView(position, cnvtView, prnt);
}
#Override public View getView(int pos, View cnvtView, ViewGroup prnt) {
return getCustomView(pos, cnvtView, prnt);
}
public View getCustomView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View mySpinner = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_spinner, parent, false);
/*LinearLayout spinnerMain = (LinearLayout) mySpinner.findViewById(R.id.spinnerMainLayout);
spinnerMain.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor(colors[0]));*/
TextView fixText = (TextView) mySpinner.findViewById(R.id.type);
fixText.setText(fixStrs[position]);
fixText.setTextColor(Color.parseColor(colors[1]));
TextView historyText = (TextView) mySpinner.findViewById(R.id.history);
historyText.setText(history[position]);
historyText.setTextColor(Color.parseColor(colors[1]));
return mySpinner;
}
}
Create a different layout for the spinner dropdown and pass it to the .setDropDownViewResource method of the ArrayAdapter, then you must specify the id of the textview in this layout in the constructor call of your adapter

ExpandableListView - group rows do not react on clicks

I had an ExpandableListView with a CheckedTextView as grouprow View. But I needed to reduce spacing between groups so I've put it inside a LinearLayout. The List does not expand since then, just no reaction on clicks. Any ideas? Code goes below
grouprow.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/holder"
android:clickable="true"
android:orientation="vertical">
<CheckedTextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="-13dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="-13dp"
android:text="#string/hello_world"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="60sp"
android:includeFontPadding="false"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</LinearLayout>
getting the group view:
#Override
public View getGroupView(int groupPosition, boolean isExpanded,
View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = minflater.inflate(R.layout.grouprow, null);
}
LinearLayout holder = (LinearLayout) convertView;
CheckedTextView txtGr = (CheckedTextView) holder.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
txtGr.setText(groupItem.get(groupPosition));
txtGr.setChecked(isExpanded);
font = Typeface.createFromAsset(activity.getAssets(),
"uww.otf");
txtGr.setTypeface(font);
return convertView;
}
solved the problem by setting both the LinearLayout and the CheckedTextView to non-clickable
