Ok...

Sub Global

Private spnL3A16AW1,spnL3A16AW2 As Spinner

Private spnMapL3A16AW1, spnMapL3A16AW2 As Map

Private arabicWord1L3A16, arabicWord2L3A16 As String

End Sub

Sub Lesson3Activity16

spnMapL3A16AW1.Initialize
spnMapL3A16AW2.Initialize

Hi, shouldn't spinner be initialized with reference to an event?


sorry for the very short message, but I'm on the road at the moment.

B4X:

myspinner.Initialize("sp1")
sp1_Itemclick

I am not sure what you mean - are you saying they cannot be initialized except in an event related to them?

No. I mean I can't see in your code the spinners initialization while recalling that the event name to use before the itemclick should be the same used for initialization.
If you already have spnL3A16AW1.initialize("spnL3A16AW1") somewhere, just disregard my message. Same for AW2.

the problem is that in your spnL3A16AW1_ItemClick sub the arabicWord2L3A16 is not set. it will be set when the user clicks the spinner2. The result is, thatyour condition will not be true....

Yes I understand that but it is not a problem as the user will have to click on each spinner individually, so they should be set.

My issue is related to arabicWord2L3A16 not being set despite clicking on spnL3A16AW2.

that is strange, on my device your code works perfectly, if I click on "al walid" on spinner 1 and on "al thawiil" on sppinner2 all goes correct...?

When I try it, the last entry isn't recognised when selected in either of the spinners. Both show a null string.

I have resolved it...there was a spurious character at the end of the word that was ordinarily hidden - it appears it was affecting the spinner.

Thanks for all those who replied!

yes, you are right, but it is a problem of the map, not the spinner,

you wrote "al thawiil" different in the spinner and the map...look at the vocalisation of the last letter
spnL3A16AW2.Add("اَلطَّوِيْلٌ")
spnMapL3A16AW2.Put("اَلطَّوِيْلُ")

Yes you are correct! Well spotted.
