I have my spinner pulling from an array,(that works).. What I want to happen

  • 0

I have my spinner pulling from an array,(that works)..
What I want to happen is I have several textviews that will map to whatever is selected from the spinner array… e.g British Columbia. then the Texviews will all say british columbia.
I figure i should be using a setText of some kind but have been on able to find an example anyhelp would be appreciated.
Here is my spinner code:

Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);    
    ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(            
            this, R.array.material_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);    
    adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);    
    spinner.setAdapter(adapter);

    final TextView tv34=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv34); 
    spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() { 

        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, 
        View view, int pos, long id) { 
        tv34.setText(parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString()); 
        } 
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) { 
        // Do nothing. 
        }        
        });

    Try this:

    final String[] array=getResources().getStringArray(R.array.material_array);
    spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
    
        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
                int position, long arg3) {
    
            mTextView_1.setText(array[position]);
            mTextView_2.setText(array[position]);
            mTextView_3.setText(array[position]);
        }
        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {                
        }
    });
    

    EDIT :

    Or you can do it like:

    spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
    
        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
                int position, long arg3) {
    
            String selectedItem=spinner.getSelectedItem().toString();
            mTextView_1.setText(selectedItem);
            mTextView_2.setText(selectedItem);
            mTextView_3.setText(selectedItem);
        }
        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {                
        }
    });
