Adding Spinner as ListView Data

I want to add the Spinner inflated in the ListView of the Main Activity.

I have ten Items in the ListView and I want to add that inflated Spinner in the ListView(10 times).

I have searched a lot but could not find anything to set the Spinner in the ListView Data.

Can anybody help me out here ?

Thanks David Brown.

simply override the getView method of your custom adapter. Inside this you inflate the xml for each row of the ListView where you have defined the Spinner element. I have written a sample project for you. It works fine according to your requirement. Consider this as an skeleton project and modify it as per needs.

Here goes the activity_main.xml file:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true" >
    </ListView>

</RelativeLayout>

Here goes the layout file for each row of the ListView I have named it list_row.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/spinner1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</LinearLayout>

And here goes the MainActivity.java :

package com.example.so;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.BaseAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.Spinner;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        ListView listView=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView1);
        CustomAdapter adapter=new CustomAdapter();
        listView.setAdapter(adapter);
    }

    @SuppressLint("ResourceAsColor")
    class CustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter{

        @Override
        public int getCount() {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return 10;
        }

        @Override
        public Object getItem(int arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        public long getItemId(int arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return 0;
        }

        @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            LayoutInflater inflater=(LayoutInflater) getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

            convertView=inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_row,parent,false);

            Spinner spinner=(Spinner) convertView.findViewById(R.id.spinner1);


            String[] colors={"Red","Green","Blue"};

            ArrayAdapter<String> adapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(),android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,colors);
            adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
            spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
            return convertView;
        }

    }
    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

}

Hope my effort helps you.

If you want to implement ICSSpinner ,Follow these steps.

Inorder to implement this ,You required ActionbarSherlock library

Add the IcsSpinner widget to your layout.xml:

    <com.actionbarsherlock.internal.widget.IcsSpinner
    android:id="@+id/spinner_id"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:entries="@array/entries" />

Access your spinner via code:

IcsSpinner mySpinner = (IcsSpinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner_id);
