Android Question How to... ScrollView + Spinner (father) + Spinner (son)

[edgar_ortiz]

HI,

I have a "scrollview" where there is a "spinner" son, which should show the information according to what is selected in the "spinner" father.

And I have NO idea how to do

Spinner Father = SP_STATE
Spinner Son = SP_CITY

Check the sub: TmpSpinner_ItemClick

Any help is welcome.

Thanks in Advance,

Edgar

What is exactly the problem? Why does it matter that the father spinner is in a ScrollView?

Erel,
Thanks for your time,
The problem is:

• The Father spinner contains the name of the states
• The Son spinner contains the name of the cities

When the user select the state the I need to change the information of the Son Spinner... I have no idea how to program this?

Why does it matter that the father spinner is in a ScrollView?

Are too many fields which should be entered.

Regards,

Edgar

Define an array of lists() , the size equals to the number of states.
Each state will have its list, with the number in the order they appear in spinner1. These lists should be filled with the cities names.
When a state is selected, get the number (position) and fill the cities spinner with the content of the specific list(position).

Derez,

Thanks for your time...

In fact this is the "regular" way of work.

The problem is that the "spinners" are within a "scrollview" and I don't know how to change the value of the "son" "spinner".

Thanks again,

Edgar

Like Erel above I fail to understand why, if the spinners are on a scrollview, it changes anything in the proposed solution.
Use Spinner.AddAll (List As List)

Again,

Thanks for your time.

My problem is how I identify the "son" Spinner? If you check the code "SP_MUNI", can't be accesed by "name".

Post a small project showing the problem, it would be much easier to help you.
Without knowing what you have done and how it's impossible to give you a concrete advice.

There should be only one "son" spinner, so you don't need to identify it. May be this understanding also will remove the need for scrollview.
The son spinner gets the content from one of the lists whenever a state is selected.

Derez,

Is mandatory the use of a scrollview, There are many fields that MUST be processed... this project is just a "example".

Thanks for your time.

Here is the code that demonstrates what I wrote.

Sub Globals
Dim statesp, citysp As Spinner
Dim lst(3) As List
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
For i = 0 To 2
    lst(i).Initialize
Next
lst(0).AddAll(Array As String("city 1", "city 2","city 3" ))
lst(1).AddAll(Array As String("city #1", "city #2","city #3" ))
lst(2).AddAll(Array As String("city $1", "city $2","city $3" ))

statesp.Initialize("statesp")
citysp.Initialize("citysp")
Activity.AddView(statesp,5%x,5%y, 40%x, 10%y)
Activity.AddView(citysp,55%x,5%y, 40%x, 10%y)  
statesp.Add("NY")
statesp.Add("OHIO")
statesp.Add("COLORADO")
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

Sub citysp_ItemClick (Position As Int, Value As Object)
Log(Value)  
End Sub

Sub statesp_ItemClick (Position As Int, Value As Object)
citysp.Clear
citysp.AddAll(lst(Position))  
End Sub

Derez,

Thanks for your time,

Usually it's the way ... My problem is that I need this to work in a "scrollview"...

Do you know how it works in a "scrollview"

Sub Globals
Dim statesp, citysp As Spinner
Dim lst(3) As List
Dim sv As ScrollView
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
For i = 0 To 2
    lst(i).Initialize
Next
lst(0).AddAll(Array As String("city 1", "city 2","city 3" ))
lst(1).AddAll(Array As String("city #1", "city #2","city #3" ))
lst(2).AddAll(Array As String("city $1", "city $2","city $3" ))

statesp.Initialize("statesp")
citysp.Initialize("citysp")
   
statesp.Add("NY")
statesp.Add("OHIO")
statesp.Add("COLORADO")
sv.Initialize(150%y)
sv.Panel.AddView(statesp,5%x,5%y, 40%x, 10%y)
sv.Panel.AddView(citysp,55%x,5%y, 40%x, 10%y)
Activity.AddView(sv,0,0,100%x,100%y)
End Sub

Sub citysp_ItemClick (Position As Int, Value As Object)
Log(Value)   
End Sub

Sub statesp_ItemClick (Position As Int, Value As Object)
citysp.Clear
citysp.AddAll(lst(Position))   
End Sub

Here you are.

I added a separate Spinner reference for the city Spinner.
The 4 lines I added have are marked with 'New.

I would have done it with a Spinner array insted of temporary Spinner references, that way you know the names of the Spinners.
