Spinner not showing selected item or default item but dropdown list works

android spinner is empty by default or when items selected. I tried using the default layout for spinner but still empty. I have checked every question on this website but none helped.
Here is the code:
spinner view on activity_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#color/background"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/showTitle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Title"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textColor="#color/textColor"
android:fontFamily="monospace"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
/>
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinner"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:spinnerMode="dropdown"
>
</Spinner>
</LinearLayout>
Activity:
public class ShowActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private List<String> list;
Spinner dropdown;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_show);
TextView titleView = findViewById(R.id.showTitle);
String title = getIntent().getExtras().getString("title");
titleView.setText(title);
list = new ArrayList<>();
dropdown = findViewById(R.id.spinner);
FirebaseFirestore.getInstance().collection(title).get().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<QuerySnapshot>() {
#Override
public void onComplete(#NonNull Task<QuerySnapshot> task) {
if (task.isSuccessful()) {
for (QueryDocumentSnapshot document : task.getResult()) {
list.add(document.getId());
}
Log.d("Success ", list.toString());
} else {
Log.d("Failed ", "Error getting documents: ", task.getException());
}
}
});
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(ShowActivity.this, R.layout.spinner_items, list);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.spinner_items);
dropdown.setAdapter(adapter);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
spinner_items.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/spinnerTV"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:text="Text"
android:gravity="start"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textColor="#color/textColor"
android:layout_marginBottom="3dp"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
/>
thank you in advance.

FirebaseFirestore.getInstance().collection(title).get().addOnCompleteListener(...) is an asynchronous call. Your code will continue to execute here:
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(ShowActivity.this, R.layout.spinner_items, list);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.spinner_items);
dropdown.setAdapter(adapter);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
At this time the list is still empty. You need to move this block inside of the OnCompleteListener.

After dropdown.setAdapter(adapter); you have to set up item select/clicked listener, try this:
dropdown.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
//.. do stuff here
}
#Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
// do default when nothing is selected
}
});
dropdown.setSelection(0) // this makes default selection for dropdown item....
Hope I could help you, best regards,

How to make my spinner looks like this one?

I'm working on a spinner, and I saw this pic from developer.android.com.
This kind of effect is exactly (The way "Home" shows) what I want, but I don't know how to make Spinner looks like it. Android's default effect makes the spinner looks like a bar which is ugly. Could anyone tell me how to do this?

Try this way
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/osversions"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/selVersion"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/osversions"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
Activity
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnItemSelectedListener {
Spinner spinnerOsversions;
TextView selVersion;
private String[] state = { "Cupcake", "Donut", "Eclair", "Froyo",
"Gingerbread", "HoneyComb", "IceCream Sandwich", "Jellybean",
"kitkat" };
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
System.out.println(state.length);
selVersion = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.selVersion);
spinnerOsversions = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.osversions);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter_state = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, state);
adapter_state.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinnerOsversions.setAdapter(adapter_state);
spinnerOsversions.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
}
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
spinnerOsversions.setSelection(position);
String selState = (String) spinnerOsversions.getSelectedItem();
selVersion.setText("Selected Android OS:" + selState);
}
#Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}

OnItemSelectedListener of a spinner to update edittext value

I created the class below :
public class CustomOnItemSelectedListener implements OnItemSelectedListener {
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos,long id) {
EditText edit = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.editText2);
edit.setText(parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString());
}
#Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
It results an error when I try to change the value of edittext in the other layout. I put below code in my main activity
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.food, container, false);
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) rootView.findViewById(R.id.spinner);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new CustomOnItemSelectedListener());
After I change the layout of the main activity, then I set the setOnItemSelectedListener for the spinner in that layout.
this is my food.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#d0dae9"
android:orientation="vertical">
<Spinner
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/spinner"
android:spinnerMode="dropdown"
android:entries="#array/foodcategory"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Spinner
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/spinner1"
android:entries="#array/foodcategory1"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Search"
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:ems="10"
android:id="#+id/editText2"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
and below is the spinner item
<string-array name="foodcategory">
<item>Drinks</item>
<item>Meal</item>
<item>Meat</item>
<item>Snacks</item>
<item>Breads</item>
<item>Cakes</item>
<item>Fruits</item>
<item>Vegies</item>
<item>Other</item>
</string-array>
Please help me out..

update your CustomOnItemSelectedListener class:
public class CustomOnItemSelectedListener implements OnItemSelectedListener {
private final View rootView;
public CustomOnItemSelectedListener(View root) {
rootView = root;
}
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos,long id) {
EditText edit = (EditText) rootView.findViewById(R.id.editText2);
edit.setText(parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString());
}
#Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
add rootView as argument to CustomOnItemSelectedListener constructor:
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.food, container, false);
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) rootView.findViewById(R.id.spinner);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new CustomOnItemSelectedListener(rootView));

Custom layout for Spinner item

I have a spinner within alert dialog. I wanted to reduce padding between spinner items and hence I implemented following:
spinner_row.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:background="#fff" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvCust"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:gravity="left|center_vertical"
android:textColor="#000"
android:textSize="15sp" />
<RadioButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
Activity code contains following:
spinner= (Spinner) dialog.findViewById(R.id.spinner);
String arr[] = { "1", "2", "3" };
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
CameraActivity.this, R.layout.spinner_row, R.id.tvCust,arr);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
Now as you can see in below screenshot, radio button is getting displayed on spinner which is actually a part of spinner_row.xml. Note that textview width is 200dp while spinner is only 130dp long, so that radio button should not have been displayed on spinner. How can I remove it?
Also, when I click any of the spinner item, spinner pop-up doesn't get disappeared as expected.(note all 3 check-boxes are checked in spinner items list). setOnItemSelectedListener is not getting called on item click.
Any help appreciated.
Edit 1
As per farrukh's suggestion, I tried his code and following is the result.

I have this
and this
with these code of xml
xml for adapter named spinadapt.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:background="#fff" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvCust"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/radioButton1"
android:gravity="left|center_vertical"
android:textColor="#000"
android:textSize="15sp" />
<RadioButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
and main layout named activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/spinner1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:hint="Select item"
android:background="#drawable/spin"/>
</RelativeLayout>
and java code is class named MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
Spinner sp;
TextView tv;
String[] counting={"One","Two","Three","Four"};
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
sp=new Spinner(this);
tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
tv.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
sp.performClick();
}
});
sp.setAdapter(new Adapter(MainActivity.this, counting));
sp.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener()
{
#Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3)
{
tv.setText(counting[arg2]);
}
#Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0)
{
}
});
}
}
and adapter class named Adapter.java
public class Adapter extends BaseAdapter
{
LayoutInflater inflator;
String[] mCounting;
public Adapter( Context context ,String[] counting)
{
inflator = LayoutInflater.from(context);
mCounting=counting;
}
#Override
public int getCount()
{
return mCounting.length;
}
#Override
public Object getItem(int position)
{
return null;
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position)
{
return 0;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
convertView = inflator.inflate(R.layout.spinadapt, null);
TextView tv = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.tvCust);
tv.setText(Integer.toString(position));
return convertView;
}
}
this is working perfect
hope this will help
