get value from Dynamically add multiple spinner in android?

How to get value to dynamically add multiple spinner where spinner id is same.i used 'String spin = parent.getSelectedItem().toString();' but i get all time last spinner value.Plz help me?

you can create array list of spinner
ArrayList<Spinner> listSpinner = new ArrayList<>();
listSpinner.add(spinner1);
listSpinner.add(spinner2);
listSpinner.add(spinner3);
for(int i=0;i<listSpinner.size();i++){
String p1 = listSpinner.get(i).getSelectedItem();
}

get different value for all spinner out side for loop and store it in arraylist.
ArrayList<Spinner> listSpinner = new ArrayList<>();
ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> s‌​tatus_list = new ArrayList<>();
status_data.add("" + snapshot.getValue());// getting data
s‌​tatus_list.add(status_data);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
View v = LayoutInflater.from(AssetCodingDetails.this).inflate(R.layou‌​t.custom_asset_codin‌​g_label, null);
Spinner spinner_status = (Spinner) v.findViewById(R.id.spinner_status);
ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(getApplicationContext(), R.layout.spinner_item, s‌​tatus_list.get(i));
spinner_status.setAdapter(adapter);
listSpinner.add(spinner_status);
}
for(int i=0;i<listSpinner.size();i++){
String p1 = listSpinner.get(i).getSelectedItem().toString();
}

Android MatrixCursor

I am trying to get a basic matrix cursor running, but for some reason the list remains empty. Would appreciate if someone could spot what may be wrong with the code?
String []columns = new String[] {"_id","Title","Desc"} ;
MatrixCursor mc = new MatrixCursor(columns);
startManagingCursor(mc);
for(int i=0; i< 200;i++)
{
mc.addRow(new Object[]{i, "test"+i ,"..."});
}
ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.alist);
int [] r = new int[1];
r[0] = R.id.atext; // the id of the textview in test_list_item layout
String [] s= new String[1];
s[0] = mc.getColumnName(1); // the column to be used "Title"
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,android.R.layout.test_list_item,mc,s,r);
lv.setAdapter(adapter);

The reason the layout was not read was due to the incorrect layout being called:
SimpleCursorAdapter(this,android.R.layout.list_item,mc,s,r);
Instead of:
SimpleCursorAdapter(this,R.layout.my_list_item,mc,s,r);

Android how to trim sharedpreferences name

I'm getting all sharedpreferences created by my app and I insert them in a spinner but every sharedpreferences displayed like "example.xml" etc. I want to trim .xml extension let them just names like "example".
File prefsdir = new File(getApplicationInfo().dataDir,"shared_prefs");
if(prefsdir.exists() && prefsdir.isDirectory()){
String[] list = prefsdir.list();
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_expandable_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1,list);
Spinner sp = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.tum_ilaclar);
sp.setAdapter(adapter);
}

You can use something like this create a new method:
String[] getList(String[] list){
String values[] = new String[list.length];
for(int i=0; i<list.length; i++){
String value = list[i];
values[i]=value.contains(".xml")?value.replace(".xml",""):value;
}
return values;
}
Then in your code change :
String[] list = prefsdir.list();
to
String[] list = getList(prefsdir.list());
This will remove the .xml part.

Converting values of SQL Database into a String Array

I need to create a drop down list (spinner) in eclipse for Android whereby the drop down options can be created by the user.
To do this I've created a SQLiteDatabase, which I want to convert into a string array to be put into an array adapter, which can then be fed into the spinner.
Database details are:
DATABASE_NAME = "carddb"
DATABASE_TABLE = "cardtable"
Then the column I wish to read the values from is:
KEY_CARDDETAILS = "_carddetails";
Here is my code so far, adapted from another question on this site (Link: how to get the database value to a String array in android(sqlite Database))
myDB = cardtable.this.openOrCreateDatabase("carddb", MODE_PRIVATE, null);
Cursor cardcursor = cardDB.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM cardtable");
String[] cardstringarray = new String[cardcursor.getCount()];
cardcursor.moveToFirst();
int counter = 0;
while(cardcursor.moveToNext()){
String carddetailss = cardcursor.getString(cardcursor.getColumnIndex("NAME"));
cardstringarray[counter] = carddetailss;
counter++;
}
I'm getting an error under "myDB" and "cardtable", both errors saying they cannot be resolved into a variable!
PLEASE HELP!

Use this code
String[] displayName={};
ArrayList<String> List=new ArrayList<String>();
myDB = cardtable.this.openOrCreateDatabase("carddb", MODE_PRIVATE, null); Cursor cardcursor = cardDB.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM cardtable");
String[] cardstringarray = new String[cardcursor.getCount()];
cardcursor.moveToFirst();
int counter = 0;
while(cardcursor.moveToNext()){
String carddetailss = cardcursor.getString(cardcursor.getColumnIndex("NAME"));
List.add(carddetailss);
counter++;
}
if(List != null){
listEmail=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.listEmail);
listEmail.setVisibility(view.VISIBLE);
displayName=(String[])List.toArray(new String[0]);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1, displayName);
// Assign adapter to ListView
listEmail.setAdapter(adapter);
}
This is work for you. Use spinner instead of listView.

How to set spinner selection by id not position

I have created a simple Spinner binding it to a SimpleCursorAdapter. I'm populating the SimpleCursorAdapter with a list of towns from a content provider.
When I go to save the users selection I'm planning on saving the row id that is being populated into my SimpleCursorAdapter.
I'm using the following code to get the ID.
townSpinner.getSelectedItemId();
What I can not figure out is how best to set the selection when I pull back up the saved item.
The following code works but it only sets selection by position number.
townSpinner.setSelection(2);
Should I just create a loop to determine the correct position value based on Id?
long cityId = Long.parseLong(cursor.getString(CityQuery.CITY_ID));
for (int i = 0; i < citySpinner.getCount(); i++) {
long itemIdAtPosition2 = citySpinner.getItemIdAtPosition(i);
if (itemIdAtPosition2 == cityId) {
citySpinner.setSelection(i);
break;
}
}

I think you've answered your own question there!
Just write your own setSelectionByItemId method using the code you posted

Example:
DB:
public Cursor getData() {
SQLiteDatabase db = getReadableDatabase();
String sql = "select ID _id, Name from MyTable order by Name ";
Cursor c = db.rawQuery(sql, null);
c.moveToFirst();
return c;
}
Activity:
Cursor myCursor = db.getData();
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter1 = new SimpleCursorAdapter(
this,
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,
myCursor,
new String[] { "Name" }, new int[] { android.R.id.text1 }, 0);
adapter1.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
mySpinner.setAdapter(adapter1);
for(int i = 0; i < adapter1.getCount(); i++)
{
if (adapter1.getItemId(i) == myID )
{
mySpinner.setSelection(i, false); //(false is optional)
break;
}
}

Android Spinner set Selected Item by Value
The spinner provides a way to set the selected valued based on the position using the setSelection(int position) method. Now to get the position based on a value you have to loop thru the spinner and get the position. Here is an example
mySpinner.setSelection(getIndex(mySpinner, myValue));
private int getIndex(Spinner spinner, String myString){
int index = 0;
for (int i=0;i<spinner.getCount();i++){
if (spinner.getItemAtPosition(i).equals(myString)){
index = i;
}
}
return index;
}
If you are using an ArrayList for your Spinner Adapter then you can use that to loop thru and get the index. Another way is is to loop thru the adapter entries
Spinner s = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner_id);
for(i=0; i < adapter.getCount(); i++) {
if(myString.trim().equals(adapter.getItem(i).toString())){
s.setSelection(i);
break;
}
}
