     stateNameAdaptor.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);

spnState.setAdapter(stateNameAdaptor);

Answer 3

The issue from what I found was with the style sheet.Use this

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
  <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
  <item name="windowNoTitle">false</item>
  <item name="windowActionBar">true</item>
  <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
  <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
  <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style> 

For the xml layout use this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    android:paddingBottom="5dp"
    style="@style/AppTheme">

    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingTop="5dp"
        android:paddingLeft="24dp"
        android:paddingRight="24dp">

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Spinner"
            android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
            android:textColor="@color/colorBlack"/>

        <Spinner
            android:id="@+id/Spinner"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="50dp"
            android:backgroundTint="@color/colorPrimary"
            android:textColorHint="#05ab9a"
            android:padding="15dp"
            style="@style/Base.Widget.AppCompat.Spinner.Underlined"
            tools:targetApi="lollipop" />
    </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

And finally for the class

String [] NUMBERS= {"3 ","6 ","13 "};

Spinner s_spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.Spinner);

ArrayAdapter<String> spinnerAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(this,
                    android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, NUMBERS);

// Specify the layout to use when the list of choices appears 
           spinnerAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);

// attaching data adapter to spinner
s_spinner.setAdapter(spinnerAdapter );

Answer 4

Try This code

ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapte=new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item,states);
    arrayAdapte.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 );
    spinnerState.setAdapter(arrayAdapte);

    String data=spinnerState.getSelectedItem().toString(); // this is select particular item from list;

    int position=spinnerState.getSelectedItemPosition(); // this return position of data selected in list; 

Answer 5

You should use the first Spinner to get the values.

Try the following code:

String provider = spinner1.getSelectedItem().toString();

What you are doing is getting the default value of the spinner.

Answer 6

Wierd. I had the same problem. What I did to make it work : 1. Add some initial data to the list ( ex.--- please select - -) 2. Load the rest of data and add it to the list 3. Call adapter.notifyDatasetChaged()
