Disabling Spinner in android
AndroidSpinnerAndroid Problem Overview
I'm having problems when using android:enabled="false"
, it's not disabling the component in the case it's a spinner
. Don't know if it's relevant, but it belongs to a layout that's part of a viewflipper
.
Any hints or workarounds ?
Thanks

Disable or enable it before setting the adapter.
yourSpinner.setEnabled(false);
yourSpinner.setClickable(false);
yourSpinner.setAdapter(typeAdapter);

It's not possible to enable/disable a Spinner in XML (yet). To do so you have to do it in code.
Here's an example:
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.mySpinner);
spinner.setEnabled(false);

you can set android:clickable="false"
in the xml
to disable the spinner
for click event
.

You can set this in the Java code itself, instead of in the XML
, because the Spinner
should implement setEnabled(boolean)
from View
.
