I'm trying to create a spinner with default empty selected item, but it displays the first item from the choices of spinner. If I add null value to my string, which is the source of choices in spinner, then after opening spinner that empty row is displayed. How should I do it? Here's code I'm using:
String[] ch = {"Session1", "Session2", "Session3"};
Spinner sp = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
TextView sess_name = findViewById(R.id.sessname);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,ch);
sp.setAdapter(adapter);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
sp.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener({
@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
int index = arg0.getSelectedItemPosition();
sess_name.setText(ch[index]);
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "You have selected item : " + ch[index], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
