You could store in an XML array file and inflate it each time spinner is visible.
Like this: Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner); ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource( this, R.array.planets_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item); adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); spinner.setAdapter(adapter); See here for more information: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-spinner.html Bye!
