Question

I have a preliminary question I want users to answer before a certain EditText field should appear. The Spinner is basically a Yes/No question, upon selection Yes I want EditTextA to show, upon selection No I want EditTextB to show.

I believe the best way to do this is to have both EditTextA & B hidden by default, appearing upon selection of the Spinner value.

If you could provide step-by-step code, great, but what I am really looking for is high-level direction of how I should approach this.

There is tutorial for you:

in onItemSelected method add lines:

if(pos == positionOfYes)
    editTextA.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    editTextB.setVisibility(View.GONE); // or INVISIBLE
}else{
    editTextA.setVisibility(View.GONE); // or INVISIBLE
    editTextB.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
