How to customise the TextView inside a Spinner?
- by Janusz
I have a Spinner with an ArrayAdapter that feeds Values into it.
The Problem is that the text is to long for the view and the result is a very very ugly spinner. As can be seen in the screenshot:
I tried to pass the Id of my own TextView into the Adapter but everytime the spinner should be shown I get an Exception that the Id I supplied is not valid:
04-26 17:38:39.695: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(4276): android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f09003a type #0x12 is not valid
Where do I have to define the TextView? In a separate xml file? With a surrounding viewgroup?
It would help me a lot if I could see an example of the adapter initialization and the textview definition?
