spinner

I'm trying to make a spinner totally transparent. In Android 4.0 I can do this setting the alpha property to 0 in the xml layout designer. But when I work with Android 2.2 i can't use that property, Eclipse mark it as an error and tell me that i can't use it. I tried to make it transparent writting this java code: final Spinner cmbCategorias = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.cmbCategorias); cmbCategorias.getBackground().setAlpha(0); and it works, but the text in the spinner keeps visible. Someone can tell me what can i do?? Thanks Make xml Layout like spinner_textview.xml <?xml version="1.0"

I have made a spinner in an activity getting called inside a tab layout. The problem is that the items (3 in nos.) are being showing in a separate dialog as in case of a drop down list and not as a spinner. I followed this example. And as shown the picture I was expecting but I am getting this: & this . I want to show just 3 items inside the spinner and do not want the new dialog for the items to be selected. And I have tried my code both on 2.3.3 and 4.0.3 emulators. Any suggestions? Thanks spinner as a dropdown is of HOLO Theme. first image is of HOLO Theme and 2nd and 3rd is not.. holo

I've written the class below to let me get an enumerated value out of an Android Spinner. There are two lines in getValue() neither of which compile. How should I do this? public class EnumSpinnerListener<T extends Enum> implements AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener { private String mValue = null; public EnumSpinnerListener(AdapterView<?> adapterView) { adapterView.setOnItemSelectedListener(this); } @Override public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) { mValue = adapterView.getItemAtPosition(i).toString(); } @Override public void onNothingSelected

I want to use custom font and color in Spinner. I can't modify them directly in <spinner/> Here's my code <Spinner android:id="@+id/spinner2" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginStart="5pt" android:layout_marginTop="5pt" android:backgroundTint="#d9d9d9" android:entries="@array/dropdown_main" /> It should look like this: Text font is Product Sans Bold, color is #333333 Here you can make a custom xml file in layout folder where you can add this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk

I have an item with id and value and I want to add them into a spinner. So when I select the item, I will get the id of it. I can only add itemValue as below and get the selected String. Can anyone give me the solution for this? List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(); list.add("item 1"); list.add("item 2"); list.add("item 3"); ArrayAdapter<String> dataAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>( this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, list); dataAdapter .setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); final Spinner sp = new Spinner(this); sp.setAdapter(dataAdapter);

I have a Spinner that's populated using a cursor containing data from a database. It appears that it's impossible to set the selected item in the spinner using the value of the ID column of a row. And that the only way to set the selected item is by using the position of the row within the dataset. Is this correct? If so, is there a more efficient way of determining the row's position than by iterating through the dataset using the cursor? The inefficient (to my mind) way is outlined here . Thanks much! First step, create view for your data set, with joins etc.: CREATE VIEW my_view AS SELECT
