Question

Hi I have a spinner for which I would like to change its entry. I have created an array in the values folder. I know that I can edit the entry of the spinner by right clicking on it. But I want to know, how can I change the entry of the spinner using code. I was hoping there would be something like spinner5.editEntries

Can someone help please?

Answer 1

Spinner Spinnermiles = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.Spinnermiles);
String [] arrmile ={"5","10","20","30","40","50","70","80","90","100"};
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(Searching.this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,arrmile);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
Spinnermiles.setAdapter(adapter);

If you want to change item in spinner at position 3 (which is “30” in example),

Set value at that position e.g.

arrmile[3] = "enter new value you want";

and after that call

adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

then value at that position will be get updated.
