Is there a way to use setOnClickListener with an Android Spinner?

Question

The java.lang.RuntimeException is \"Don\'t call setOnClickListener for an AdapterView. You probably want setOnItemClickListener instead,\" but that is not correct. I am usin

Answer 1

You will have to set the Click listener on the underlying view (normally a TextView with id: android.R.id.text1) of the spinner. To do so:

• Create a custom Spinner
• In the constructor (with attributes) create the spinner by supplying the layout android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item
• Do a findViewById(android.R.id.text1) to get the TextView
• Now set the onClickListener to the TextView
