Android- Multiple Spinners

Question

I have this code:

package lijap.app.starcraft2counters;

import java.io.File;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Enviro         


        

Answer 1

You could share the adapter between different Spinners if they adapted the same information. Clearly each of your adapters need to adapt a different set of Strings, so you need to create an ArrayAdapter for each Spinner.

A single OnItemSelectedListener will work for the 3 Spinners (as long as you set them). You can call getId() on the AdapterView<?> passed as an argument to know which Spinner raised the event.

public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
        long arg3) {
    switch(arg0.getId()){
        case R.id.s_answertime:
            break;
        case ...
    }
}

Answer 2

Check this one

yearDropdown.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView, View selectedItemView, int position, long id) 
    {
        selectedyear = parentView.getSelectedItemPosition();
        drpyear      = yearDropdown.getSelectedItem().toString();

        //your code here

    }

    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView) 
    {
        selectedyear = 0;
        //return;
    }
});

monthDropdown.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView, View selectedItemView, int position, long id) 
    {
        //your code here


    }

    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView) 
    {
        selectedmonth = 0;
        //return;
    }
});

dayDropdown.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView, View selectedItemView, int position, long id) 
    {
        //your code here

    }

    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView) 
    {
        selectedday = 0;
    }
});

you need to create each adapter for every spinner.

   adapterYear = new ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
   yearDropdown.setAdapter(adapterYear);

   adapterMonth = new ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
   monthDropdown.setAdapter(adapterMonth);

   adapterDays = new ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
   dayDropdown.setAdapter(adapterDays);
