I have an error: setOnItemClickListener cannot be used with a spinner, what is wrong?

Question

Kindly This is my code below, and I am pasting the error messages underneath: I am trying to use setOnItemClickListener on the spinner, is it permissible?

Answer 1

As @Alex very well said, you have to use

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {

        }
    });

Or if you are using ButterKnife:

@OnItemSelected(R.id.spinner)
public void onSpinnerItemSelected(int index){
    // ...
}

Answer 2

See the first line of your logcat:

java.lang.RuntimeException: setOnItemClickListener cannot be used with a spinner.

setOnItemClickListener cannot be used with a Spinner. Use setOnItemSelectedListener instead.

Answer 3

Kotlin:

spinner.onItemSelectedListener = object : AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener {
    override fun onItemSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>, view: View, position: Int, id: Long) {
        print("onItemSelected position = $position id = $id")
    }

    override fun onNothingSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>) {

    }
}

I wrote it because inline creating object from the interface is different.

Solved by

 spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int  
 i, long l) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> adapterView) {

        }
    });

Change this

 convertto.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener()
   {

    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg, View v1, int index1, long arg4)
    {
         if ((quantity[index1]=="Meter") && (s1.equalsIgnoreCase("Meter")))
        {

        Toast.makeText(v1.getContext(), " to meter",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        var2=var1;
        lresult.setText("" + var2);
        }

    }

   });

to onItemSelectedListener,

 convertto.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
            long arg3) {
         if ((quantity[index1]=="Meter") && (s1.equalsIgnoreCase("Meter")))
        {

        Toast.makeText(v1.getContext(), " to meter",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        var2=var1;
        lresult.setText("" + var2);
        }


    }

    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
});

It looks like you cannot use itemClickListener in your Spinner,

Here is the error line which explains it,

07-04 09:48:39.912: E/AndroidRuntime(694): Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: setOnItemClickListener cannot be used with a spinner.

Answer 6

Simply change your implementation form setOnItemClickListener to setOnItemSelectedListener. Your code should work fine afterwards without error.

Java:

convertto.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {

        }
    });

Kotlin:

convertto.onItemSelectedListener = object : AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener {

    override fun onItemSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>, view: View, position: Int, id: Long) {

    }

    override fun onNothingSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>) {

  }
}
