Populate spinner with years dynamically in Android?

Question

I have been racking my brain trying to get this to work. I want to dynamically enter in years from 1900 to the current year into a spinner. I don\'t think that this is possible

Answer 1

You're very close. Try this:

ArrayList years = new ArrayList();
int thisYear = Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR);
for (int i = 1900; i <= thisYear; i++) {
    years.add(Integer.toString(i));
}
ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, years);

Spinner spinYear = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.yearspin);
spinYear.setAdapter(adapter);

You just forgot to add

spinYear.setAdapter(adapter);
