Hi all,
I am new to android development and I have hit a stuckpoint that I
don't really understand. I am attempting to create a spinner (with 20
values) but I want my prompt to read "Please Pick a Year". I have
attempted to set the prompt in both the XML and in the Activity itself. It
doesn't seem to have any impact at all. I think that I am missing
something fundamental.
The list is showing up and the values are in the dropdown but I do not see
the prompt.
Below is my code:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(arg0);
setContentView(R.layout.search_screen);
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
// Create an ArrayAdapter using the string array and a default spinner
layout
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this,
R.array.year_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
// Specify the layout to use when the list of choices appears
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
// Apply the adapter to the spinner
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
spinner.setPrompt("Please Pick a Year");
}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<EditText android:id="@+id/edit_message"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="@string/edit_message" />
<Spinner
android:id="@+id/spinner"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/button_send"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/button_send"
android:onClick="sendMessage" />
</LinearLayout>
Any help would be appreciated
