Question

I have within a TabActivity a Spinner that will be generated dynamically. Just to test, I did so manually:

Spinner sp_departure = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner_departure);

// This array will be generated through a database
String[] array_spinner = new String[2];
array_spinner[0] = "Departure 1";
array_spinner[1] = "Departure 2";

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, array_spinner);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
sp_departure.setAdapter(adapter);

When I run the app looks ok since option selected is “Departure 1” but when I click to open the options I get some errors and the application is closed.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Yes you might have set setContetView(R.layout.yourxml)…,

Change it to :

View viewToLoad = LayoutInflater.from(this.getParent()).inflate(R.layout.yourxm, null);
        this.setContentView(viewToLoad);

and use

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

Try, it may helps you
