More to the original question.. You might just want to skip the ArrayList and do something like this, from ApiDemos/src/com/example/ android/apis/view/Spinner1.java:
Spinner s1 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1); ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource (this, R.array.colors, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item); adapter.setDropDownViewResource (android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); s1.setAdapter(adapter); On Mar 9, 4:31 pm, mafro <[email protected]> wrote: > Taking an example from the Dev Guide - you can do it like this: > > http://d.android.com/guide/samples/ApiDemos/res/values/arrays.html > > In res/values/arrays.xml: > <resources> > <!-- Used in View/Spinner1.java --> > <string-array name="colors"> > <item>red</item> > <item>orange</item> > <item>yellow</item> > <item>green</item> > <item>blue</item> > <item>violet</item> > </string-array> > </resources> > > //java code > Resources res = this.getResources(); > > String[] arr = res.getStringArray(R.array.colors); > for(int i=0; i<arr.length-1; i++) { > Log.i("TEST", arr[i]); > > } > > So R.array.colors is your reference.
