Set selection at beginning of spinner with simplecursoradapter

I have an activity A with a listView. I've got a few items in there. If I click in one of those items, I navigate with an Intent to another page. In that other poage/Activity, I have a spinner, which contains the items of the listView ( which is populated with database). The problem is, every time, i go to that activity B, the item displayed in the spinner is always the first in my database. How can I set the item to be displayed depending on the item I clicked in the listView ?
Here's how I populate my spinner (dropdown mode) :
spinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner_branches);
final Cursor cursor = dbhelper.getAllCours();
String[] from = { "branche_cours" }; int[] to = { android.R.id.text1 };
adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, cursor, from, to, 0);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
When I navigate, i pass the selected item with the intent. I remind you that my listView contains the same items of the spinner..
String selected_brancheold= intent.getExtras().getString("branche");
Thank you guys !

You can do one thing if your ListView list and Spinner List both are same.
Activity A
Intent intent = new Intent(YOUR_CONTEXT, ActivityB.class);
intent.putExtra("position",PASS_CURRENT_POSITION_LISTVIEW_ITEM_CLICKED);
startActivity(intent);
Activity B (After setting up the spinner adapter)
int currentPosition = getIntent().getIntExtra("position",0);
spinner.setSelection(currentPosition);
Hope this works for you!!

how to bind values to single spinner from one web service, another default value in android

String[] s={"1","2","3","4"};
ArrayAdapter<String> adp=new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(),android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item,s);
spin.setAdapter(adp);
Now I want to get "4" at zero position of Spinner.

AFAIK, you can't change the position of the items inside a Spinner after you have set its Adapter.
If you want 4 to be the first item, you have to order your list accordingly:
String[] s={"4","1","2","3"};
ArrayAdapter<String> adp = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, s);
spin.setAdapter(adp);

Android programming spinner swap elements of spinner

need to do so when you click on a specific button (application type translator and arrow key) changed one of the selected items to another spinner itam swapped Well, here is how it can be implemented?
here is the code but it does not work!
int spinner1Index = spinner.getSelectedItemPosition();
spinner.setSelection(spinner2.getSelectedItemPosition());
spinner2.setSelection(spinnerfirst);
can offer something similar or fix!

You would have to change the adapter of your spinner and call notifyDataSetChanged()

I would suggest adding this to your switch case for when the item is selected.
Set a custom adapter for the spinner on item click.
//An array of what you want to populate the spinner with
Array spinnerArray [] = {"One", "Two", "Etc.."};
ArrayAdapter<String> spinnerArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, spinnerArray);
spinnerArrayAdapter.setDropDownViewResource( android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item );
//Before setting the adapter, clear and notify the previous ArrayList used
arrayList.clear();
arrayList.notify();
spinner.setAdapter(spinnerArrayAdapter);

Populating an Android Spinner from an SQLite but with two fields?

I've finally managed to populate a spinner from an sqlite db after much messing about with this code however it's only using one field and I want First and Last names on the same spinner item?
The code is as follows:
private void fillSpinner() {
Cursor c = myDbHelper.FetchDrivers();
startManagingCursor(c);
// create an array to specify which fields we want to display
String[] from = new String[]{"FirstName"};
// create an array of the display item we want to bind our data to
int[] to = new int[]{android.R.id.text1};
// create simple cursor adapter
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter =
new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, c, from, to );
adapter.setDropDownViewResource( android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item );
// get reference to our spinner
Spinner s = (Spinner) findViewById( R.id.spr_Driver1);
s.setAdapter(adapter);
}
Now it displays the FirstName and I've tried added "FirstName", "LastName" but it doesn't do anything different, I ideally want it to display the name in full on each spinner item. Is this even possible?
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Chris

For this, you need to change the android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item and android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, as these layout items are able to display only one item in the dropdown list and on the spinner.
For your purpose, the best way is to create your own layout that has two items.
Here is a link about how to do it.

Change items of a Spinner on item click of another Spinner in android

I have a question that, I want to load items in a spinner on ItemClick of another Spinner. Actually I two spinners, data is loaded into first spinner from json_parsing and I have to load data in second Spinner after selecting an item from first spinner, So, I don't know how it will implemented? Please suggest me the right solution.
Thanks in advance.

You can do it like this,
First time you data will be loaded in First and Second Spinner.
On Selection of item from First Spinner do this.
1.) Clear the previous ArrayList or Array whateven you have passed the
Second Spinner.
2.) Fill the ArrayList or Array of new data & Update the Second Spinnner using
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
second_spinner.setSelection(0);

First Set an OnItemClickListner for your First Spinner. In the OnItemClickListner Method first parse your XML. After completing XML parsing, set parsed data to the adapter and set that adapter with your second spinner

Set an OnItemClickListener on your first spinner that would prepare and set the adapter to the second spinner.

Here is a more complete code example:
Spinner spinner1 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
Cursor c1 = (some code for getting a cursor from an data source, for example, a sqlite database)
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter1 = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, c1, new String[]{"column_name"}, new int[]{android.R.id.text1});
spinner1.setAdapter(adapter1);
Spinner spinner2 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner2);
Cursor c2 = (some code for getting a cursor from an data source, for example, a sqlite database)
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter2 = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, c2, new String[]{"column_name"}, new int[]{android.R.id.text1});
spinner2.setAdapter(adapter2);
spinner1.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
Cursor c_new = (create a new cursor);
adapter2.changeCursor(c_new);
adapter2.notifyDataSetChanged(); // this is important for notifying the UI
spinner2.setAdapter(adapter2);
}
});
What you do is set a listener to the first Spinner, there change the Cursor of the second Adapter to a new one, notify the UI and reset the Adapter of the second Spinner.
