Question

I have this problem. I read with BufferedReader text from one system file, this text contains for example 5 WORDS, but in another case it can contain less or more words, then I put this text (these words) to ONE string and save that string to shared preferences. Then I make spinner from this string,

Code here:

Spinner spinner = new Spinner(this);
    ArrayAdapter<String> spinnerArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, yourString.split(" "));
    spinner.setAdapter(spinnerArrayAdapter);

And now if for example spinner contains 5 options (5 words) and user select some of these words, I need to put this word to one system file. I use echo command for insertion. So the best thing would be if I could save chosen word from spinner to shared preferences as string. I use if(possition==0) for selection in normal spinner, but I think it’s not possible to use it in this case.

Could anybody help me?

Answer 1

you can get selected text by writing this line of code

               spinner.getSelectedItem().toString();

                SharedPreferences pref = getSharedPreferences(
                        "Preferences", 0);
                SharedPreferences.Editor edit = pref.edit();
                edit.putString("ABC", spinner.getSelectedItem().toString());
                edit.commit();
