Thanks for responding. I have the following code:
final Spinner spinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.Spinner_gender);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(
new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
public void
onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View
itemSelected, int selectedItemPosition, long selected){
Editor editor =
mGameSettings.edit();
editor.putLong(GAME_PREFERENCES_GENDER,
selectedItemPosition);
editor.commit();
}
@Override
public void
onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated
method stub
}
}
);
ArrayAdapter<?> adapter =
ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this,
spinnerID, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
if( mGameSettings.contains(GAME_PREFERENCES_GENDER) ){
Toast.makeText(QuizSettingsActivity.this,
"Detected(again): " +
spinner.getSelectedItemPosition(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
spinner.setSelection( spinner.getSelectedItemPosition()
);
}
Towards the end, I am checking that a sharedPreference value is set
and simply printing the selectedIndex in my Toast.
But, the very next line I am using the same function call but my
spinner does not set to the previously selected value when the
activity is re-loaded.
However, if I simply give spinner.selection a static argument, e:g 2,
it works fine upon re-loading the activity.
I don't know why it won't work ... please help!
