Question

I am creating a spinner in my current layout file, and the contents of this spinner range from 1.0 mA, all the way to 100.0mA. Each increment increases by 0.1 mA. Is there a way to have some sort of loop to populate this string-array, other than manually entering each entry in my string-array file?

Answer 1

Create a SpinnerAdapter and hook it up to your spinner. Then you can loop through calling adapter.add(item1), adapter.add(item2), etc…

For example,

Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, YOUR_STRING_ARRAY);

adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);

spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
