Spinner Example Android Studio Tutorial - Custom Spinner Adapter

Todays tutorial we are building a simple Spinner App in Android Studio and Java.

In this tutorial I give an example of how to create a custom spinner that contains an ImageView and a Textview. We create a custom adapter class that extends Array Adapter and link it up with our Spinner. After completing this tutorial you will have the skills required to make your spinner components look and feel which ever way best suits the Android App you're currently working on.

Spinner components are a great way to obtain input from the user if you have a good idea of what the user is likely to want to input.

It is just blank however upon clicking on the spinner the dropdown list appears and item can be selected as usual but the selected item is not showing in the spinner widget. Help me please

Hi Cal, can you please make a continuation of this video showing on another screen (once pressing a button )all the details relating to the user that was selected from the spinner. THANKS!

[anthonycraddock]

Hi Cal, great video man! Do you know of a way to initialise the spinner display to something other than 0 from the values in the array? The use case would be something like having a spinner in an edit screen where the user wishes to save a different value from something previously saved. When the edit screens new instance is called, instead of the spinner initialising with whatever is at position 0 in the array it initialises with the users previously stored value? Hope the question makes sense to you!
