Question

I am developing an application which will be work in Turkish language. When I run the app in English language the app is working fine. Now when I am checking the app in Turkish language there are getting error results.

I have an array resources

 <string-array name="pensionArr">// English(values-en)
    <item>monthly</item>
    <item>yearly</item>
</string-array>

<string-array name="pensionArr"> // Turkish(values-tr)
    <item>aylık</item>
    <item>yıllık</item>
</string-array>

I set this array in spinner.

adapterPension = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.pensionArr, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);

Now I am sending the selected value from this spinner to web service. There i am comparing the value in English.

nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("pension_type",_pensiontype));

When I am trying to print the value _pensiontype. the value printing in console is like this

yıllık//====> yearly in English.

So the value is not comparing in the web service. So here is my question how to use English values even I choose Turkish. Is there any way for this.

Edit: Data from spinner is

 _pensiontype=pensionTypeDrpgetSelectedItem().toString();

Pls Help me……

Answer 1

This is very tricky situation. Finally I search it in many websites and find a solution

Maintain the array in the server side as

String[] arr = new String{"monthly","yearly"};

after setting the resource array to the spinner as

adapterPension = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.pensionArr, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);

Now I am sending the position of the selected item to the server as

nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("pension_type",Integer.toString(pensionDrp.getSelectedItemPosition())));

Now I am getting the position of array at server side. so Using index instead of value directly.

works fine..
