spinner onitemselected is not working as expected?

Question

I did not add spinner on my layout

I did not use addView function

code

 Spinner spinner = new Spinner(MainActivity.this);
    ArrayAdapter<String> spinnerArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(MainActivity.this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, myArray);
    spinner.setAdapter(spinnerArrayAdapter);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() 
            {
                public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) 
                {
                    //this place is never called
                }

                public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) 
                {

                }
            });

I called spinner like this:

 spinner.performClick();

After this I click one of my item which in my array and then I expect to fire onItemSelected but it never fires.

the problem is

onitemselected is never called.

thanks in advance

Answer 1

In order to programatically select item from spinner. you need to call

spinner.setSelection(1);

Whereas 1 in the index, you want to select

Answer 2

Try this,

1.Create a custom adapter.

2.set click Listener to textview in adapter.(so you can get position in adapter)

3.according to positon do whatever u feel like.

CustomModel.

public class CustomModel {
    private String id;
    private String description;

    public char[] name;

    public CustomModel() {

    }

    public CustomModel(String id, String description) {
        this.id = id;
        this.description = description;

    }

    public String getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(String id) {
        this.id = id;
    }


    public String getName() {
        return description;
    }
    public void setName(String description) {
        this.description = description;
    }
}

Activity.

            container.addView(spinner);
        }
    }
