Android Question Spinner View doesn't fire Click Event

[Wosl]

Hello All!

As a beginner I'm going to test and understand different views at the moment. This time I tried to create a simple ComboBox (Spinner).

Sub Globals
    Private ComboBoxDays As Spinner
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Dim Days() As String
'  Fill list with text
    Days = Array As String("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday")
'  Create ComboBox with text
    ComboBoxDays.initialize("")
    Activity.AddView(ComboBoxDays, 50dip, 200dip, 300dip, 90dip)
    ComboBoxDays.Color=Colors.DarkGray
    ComboBoxDays.TextSize=32
    ComboBoxDays.TextColor=Colors.White
    ComboBoxDays.AddAll(Days)
End Sub

Sub ComboBoxDays_ItemClick (Position As Int, Value As Object)
    Log ("Clicked Position: " & Position)
End Sub

When clicking on an item my expectation is that the event routine will be called and should log the click position. But it doesn't. The "item_click" routine is never called.

I suppose it's a rather simple mistake from myside but I couldn't find it ;-(( Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi,
you haven't initialized the spinner properly

ComboBoxDays.Initialize("ComboBoxDays")

Hi,

Yes, indeed ;-)) I felt that it's an obvious mistake but could not get it. Thank you very much for your fast response. Now it works!

The real mistake is to create the view programmatically. Use the designer. Use anchors. Use the designer script.
