Mark thanks for the reply,
To be more specific, here is a snippet from my spinner code:
String[] array = {"Select", "Building", "Here"};
Spinner s2 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner2);
ArrayAdapter<String> cadapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, array);
cadapter.setDropDownViewResource
(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
s2.setAdapter(cadapter);
my problem is replace array (to make it dynamic) with my 'title'
column from my 'chart' table in my 'dbm' database. I know it's a
simple line, but I can't seem to get it.
