Thanks But can the array xml file by that I mean <resources> <string-array>
a) IF stored in the /res directory can it be changed and modified *after* installation, say months of use later ? b) Can this be stored in /mnt/sdcard I know this can be modified after installation ? I guess What is the best way to store the contacts list on a phone, as my spinner list is much the same as that Thanks again On Mar 16, 2011, at 4:53 AM, pedr0 wrote: > 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! > > On 15 Mar, 14:56, New Developer <[email protected]> wrote: >> When creating a spinner list that can be added to by the user over time. >> Is it best to store this in an XML Array file >> <resources> >> <!-- Used in View/Spinner1.java --> >> <string-array name="colors"> >> <item>red</item> >> <item>orange</item> >> >> Or in a text file and load the data into an ArrayAdapter each time the >> spinner is visible ? >> >> Also IF I have three activities (screens) >> >> When is the constructor and when is the destructor called ? >> >> How is the memory emptied for the ArrayAdapter ?
