I am new to android programming. I imagine that my problem is that the spinner is defined but is not connected to the array that I have defined in res>values>strings.xml
I have code related to the spinner in 3 different places, is that correct? I am open to improving my coding style. In main.xml I have this code: <http://www.anddev.org/#><Spinner android:id="@+id/Spinner01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> </Spinner> In SpinnerThingy.java I have this code: package com.mymortgagegenius.mortgagecalc; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; import android.widget.Spinner; import android.widget.Toast; public class SpinnerThingy extends Activity { void showToast(CharSequence msg) { Toast.makeText(this, msg, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.Spinner01); ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>( this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, R.array.compoundingSpinner); adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); spinner.setAdapter(adapter); spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener()); } } In MyOnItemSelectedListener.java I have: <http://www.anddev.org/#>package com.mymortgagegenius.mortgagecalc; import android.view.View; import android.widget.AdapterView; import android.widget.Toast; import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener; public class MyOnItemSelectedListener implements OnItemSelectedListener { public void onItemSelected( AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) { Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), "The planet is " + parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) { // Do nothing. } } This is the effect of clicking on the Spinner: [image: Image] Connie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
