Question

Hello all i have a wheel picker working but at the moment it is pulling in numbers from 0-9 for all for wheels. I want to be able to set the values instead of 0-9 I want it to be words which are pulled from a array or string so i can input them myslef as i am not sure where the numbers are being pulled from at the moment. The code is below:

public class PasswActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.passw_layout);
    initWheel(R.id.passw_1);
    initWheel(R.id.passw_2);
    initWheel(R.id.passw_3);
    initWheel(R.id.passw_4);

    Button mix = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btn_mix);
    mix.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            mixWheel(R.id.passw_1);
            mixWheel(R.id.passw_2);
            mixWheel(R.id.passw_3);
            mixWheel(R.id.passw_4);
        }
    });


}

// Wheel scrolled flag
private boolean wheelScrolled = false;

// Wheel scrolled listener
OnWheelScrollListener scrolledListener = new OnWheelScrollListener() {
    public void onScrollingStarted(WheelView wheel) {
        wheelScrolled = true;
    }
    public void onScrollingFinished(WheelView wheel) {
        wheelScrolled = false;

    }
};

// Wheel changed listener
private OnWheelChangedListener changedListener = new OnWheelChangedListener() {
    public void onChanged(WheelView wheel, int oldValue, int newValue) {
        if (!wheelScrolled) {

        }
    }
};


/**
 * Initializes wheel
 * @param id the wheel widget Id
 */
private void initWheel(int id) {
    WheelView wheel = getWheel(id);
    wheel.setViewAdapter(new NumericWheelAdapter(this, 0, 9));
    wheel.setCurrentItem((int)(Math.random() * 10));

    wheel.addChangingListener(changedListener);
    wheel.addScrollingListener(scrolledListener);
    wheel.setCyclic(true);
    wheel.setInterpolator(new AnticipateOvershootInterpolator());
}

/**
 * Returns wheel by Id
 * @param id the wheel Id
 * @return the wheel with passed Id
 */
private WheelView getWheel(int id) {
    return (WheelView) findViewById(id);
}

/**
 * Tests entered PIN
 * @param v1
 * @param v2
 * @param v3
 * @param v4
 * @return true 
 */
private boolean testPin(int v1, int v2, int v3, int v4) {
    return testWheelValue(R.id.passw_1, v1) && testWheelValue(R.id.passw_2, v2) &&
        testWheelValue(R.id.passw_3, v3) && testWheelValue(R.id.passw_4, v4);
}

/**
 * Tests wheel value
 * @param id the wheel Id
 * @param value the value to test
 * @return true if wheel value is equal to passed value
 */
private boolean testWheelValue(int id, int value) {
    return getWheel(id).getCurrentItem() == value;
}

/**
 * Mixes wheel
 * @param id the wheel id
 */
private void mixWheel(int id) {
    WheelView wheel = getWheel(id);
    wheel.scroll(-25 + (int)(Math.random() * 50), 2000);
}
}

Any help is appriciated. Thanks

Could you please refer below wheel demo project, it will very much help related to your problem with string data in wheels .Also code below from same project.

http://code.google.com/p/android-wheel/

public class CitiesActivity extends Activity {
    // Scrolling flag
    private boolean scrolling = false;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.cities_layout);

        final WheelView country = (WheelView) findViewById(R.id.country);
        country.setVisibleItems(3);
        country.setViewAdapter(new CountryAdapter(this));

        final String cities[][] = new String[][] {
                        new String[] {"New York", "Washington", "Chicago", "Atlanta", "Orlando"},
                        new String[] {"Ottawa", "Vancouver", "Toronto", "Windsor", "Montreal"},
                        new String[] {"Kiev", "Dnipro", "Lviv", "Kharkiv"},
                        new String[] {"Paris", "Bordeaux"},
                        };

        final WheelView city = (WheelView) findViewById(R.id.city);
        city.setVisibleItems(5);

        country.addChangingListener(new OnWheelChangedListener() {
                        public void onChanged(WheelView wheel, int oldValue, int newValue) {
