addItemsOnSpinner2();
addListenerOnSpinnerItemSelection();
}
public void addListenerOnSpinnerItemSelection()
{
Spinner faultSpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
mspinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new
CustomOnItemSelectedListener());
}
public void addItemsOnSpinner2() {
ArrayList<String> faulttypespinner = new ArrayList<String>();
faulttypespinner.add("XL-Cross Level");
faulttypespinner.add("AL-Alignment");
faulttypespinner.add("UN-Unevenness");
faulttypespinner.add("XL-Cross Level");
faulttypespinner.add("AL-Alignment");
faulttypespinner.add("UN-Unevenness");
faulttypespinner.add("BD-Ballast Deficiency");
faulttypespinner.add("SE-Super elevation on curve");
faulttypespinner.add("LP-Loose Packing");
faulttypespinner.add("LJ-Low Joint");
faulttypespinner.add("BA-Bridge");
faulttypespinner.add("LC-Level Crossing");
faulttypespinner.add("LJ-Low Joint");
faulttypespinner.add("P and C-Point n Xing");

faulttypespinner.add("SEJ-SEJ");
faulttypespinner.add("WEED-Weed on Cess");
ArrayAdapter<String> faultadapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>
(mConetxt,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, faulttypespinner);
faultadapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
mspinner.setAdapter(faultadapter);
}
public class CustomOnItemSelectedListener implements OnItemSelectedListener {
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos,
long id) {
Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(),
"OnItemSelectedListener : " +
parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString(),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

You'll need to implement Custom Adapter, where you'll have a method something like :
public void changeItemValue(int position, String newValue){
Item itm = getItem(position);
itm.setValue(newValue);
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
When you open the dialogBox onSelectedItem, you'll have to pass an instance of your spinner adapter to a dialog and then to the listener of a dialog button, where you'll call changeItemValue method on button click.

Why u r using custom adapter,when click on spinner get the position of clicked item and show the pop up and on button click set the value to the faulttypespinner arraylist using index stored previously. then add notifydatasetchanged for adapter to update the spinner thats all.

how do i put 2 spinners on 1 activity with same options?

firstly I'm a newbie to using this program so any help is appreciated. I need spinner 1 to show 7 cities the user can choose from and spinner 2 to show the same 7 cities that the user can select.
I have some code below but my tutor says it's wrong and it won't work for the second spinners I tried to find a way but can seem to do so
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Spinner spinner = findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.Cities, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
String text = parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();
Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), text, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent)
{
}
}
spinner 1 is meant to be the start destination and spinner 2 is meant to be the destination they are going to. once the user selects the options it tells them the distance from spinner 1 to spinner 2.( the distances are already given to us in a table)
Your code contains only one spinner.
Spinner spinner = findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
Define one more spinner in XML and assign the same adapter to new spinner and set a separate OnItemSelectedListener each spinner.
Get the values(city names) from each spinner and calculate the distance.

spinner value updation by another spinner which uses autocomplete text view not working

I have two spinners in which the first spinner uses autocomplete textview , when first spinner item is selected in normal way without using autocomplete text view the second spinner loads the corresponding value according to the first spinners selection. My issue is that when autocomplete textview is used for selecting first spinner value the second spinner is not loaded with the values according to first spinners selection. can any one please tell me a solution
public void vesselspinnerHandler(){
//Setting Class to Spinner
final ArrayAdapter<String> vesselspinnerAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, vessellist);
vesselspinnerAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
vesselspinner.setAdapter(vesselspinnerAdapter);
vesselspinnerAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
final AutoCompleteTextView searchvessel=findViewById(R.id.searchvessel);
final AutoCompleteTextView selves = findViewById(R.id.selectedvessel);
ArrayAdapter adapter1 = new ArrayAdapter(selection.this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item,vessellist);
selves.setAdapter(adapter1);
selves.setDropDownVerticalOffset(50);
vesselspinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
selves.setText(vesselspinner.getSelectedItem().toString());
searchvessel.setText(selves.getText().toString());
getdate();//second spinner call
return;

How to review the selected item on spinner

Here is my code for my spinner.. i want it to save to my database by using setText but theres no option for setting it into setText.. this is how i want it to save on my database spinpstat.setText(student.status);
this is how i want it to declare in my onClick(View view)
student.status = spinpstat.getText.toString(); but it gives me following error
spinpstat = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
ArrayAdapter adapterstat = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.statuslist, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapterstat.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinpstat.setAdapter(adapterstat);
spinpstat.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
projstat = spinpstat.getSelectedItem().toString();
spinpstat.setSelection(position);
parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
}
#Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
}
});
this is the data i saved .. i set the spinner status in old student
but this how the data result in review of the data i saved.. my spinner instead of status is old student it set as new student which is the first value in my spinner list
any help will do.. thanks in advance..
Use Spinner.setSelection to set selected item from Spinner like:
spinpstat.setSelection(adapterstat.getPosition(student.status));
And get selected item from Spinner on onClick as:
student.status = spinpstat.getSelectedItem().toString();

Spinner does not get selected after setting adapter

I have two spinner in dialog. Second one is dependent on first one. I want to bind it and then select it in edit mode. All works fine but second spinner does not get selected. However it get selected when I open my dialog next time.
Here is a part of my code.
ArrayAdapter<String> myAdap1 = (ArrayAdapter<String>) spnForeignKeyTable
.getAdapter();
int spinnerPosition1 = myAdap1.getPosition(objcolumn_schema
.getForeignKeyTable());
spnForeignKeyTable.setSelection(spinnerPosition1);
// Bind Column Spinner.Second spinner
dblist = DBAdapter.getColumns(pf.getString("dbid", ""),String.valueOf(objcolumn_schema.getForeignKeyTableID()));
ArrayAdapter<String> adpf = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
column.this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,
dblist);
adpf.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spnForeignKeyColumn.setAdapter(adpf);
int spinnerPosition2 = adpf.getPosition(objcolumn_schema.getForeignKey());
spnForeignKeyColumn.setSelection(spinnerPosition2);
for changing selected item in second spinner when first spinner selection change you will need to set setOnItemSelectedListener for first spinner as:
spinnerPosition1.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener()
{
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View v,
int position, long id)
{
// change second Spinner selection here
}
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0)
{
//
}
});

Spinner OnclickListener event executes twice, how to handle both events

Spinner OnclickListener event executes twice -
Spinner initialization
User selected manually
where as implementation of listener is as :
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
}
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
}
});
Problem definition
I want to save user selected text into data storage, when user choose any item from spinner, and I am able to do this. But my another task is that to show previously selected item (access from data storage) as selected item in spinner, but each time when I call spinner's activity, spinner shows first item as default selected item, and also in data storage it make change previous item to default.
How can I make difference between 'Spinner initialization' and 'User selected manually' events?
You have to handle both events logically. As these references (Android Spinner selection, problem on spinner) says that you have to use flag variable to handle this, I am putting a code sample.
Hope this will help you to clear your logic.
public class TestActivity extends Activity {
//Checks report spinner selection is default or user selected item
private boolean isDefaultSelection;
//Spinner setup
Spinner spinner;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.your_layout);
// Set true at onCreate
isDefaultSelection = true;
spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.id_of_spinner);
ArrayAdapter<String> spinnerAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String> (this, R.layout.drop_down_custom_row, data);
//Implement custom view for drop down of spinner
//spinnerAdapter.setDropDownViewResource( android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(spinnerAdapter);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
if(isDefaultSelection) { //If spinner initializes
spinner.setSelection("Set_here_id_of_data_item_from_storage_which_was_previously_stored");
isDefaultSelection = false;
} else { //If user manually select item
int itemPosition = spinner.getSelectedItemPosition();
//Write here code to store selection (itemPosition) of user into data storage
}
}
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
//User selected same item. Nothing to do.
}
});
}
}
Hope it will clear your doubt.
You can call the setSelection at the same time that the items are added to the adapter, see this example: How to avoid onItemSelected to be called twice in Spinners
