How to set Spinner Default by its Value instead of Position?


I have 1-50 records in the database. I am fetching those data using cursor and set those values to Spinner using Simple Cursor Adapter. Now what i need is i want to set one value say 39th value as default. But not by its position i want to set by its value.

I know how to set the spinner default by its position

   spinner.setSelection(39) 

will set the spinner to that value.

But i didn't have any idea about setting the spinner default by its value(text) in the database. I know the values in the database. For eg "books" is one of the value in the spinner. I need to set the spinner default as books.

Is there any possible way to do this?


Solution

  • Finally, i solved the problem by using following way, in which the position of the spinner can be get by its string

    private int getPostiton(String locationid,Cursor cursor)
    {
        int i;
        cursor.moveToFirst(); 
        for(i=0;i< cursor.getCount()-1;i++)
        {  
    
            String locationVal = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(RoadMoveDataBase.LT_LOCATION));  
            if(locationVal.equals(locationid))
            { 
                position = i+1;  
                break;
            }
            else
            {
                position = 0;
            }
            cursor.moveToNext();  
        } 
    

    Calling the method

        Spinner location2 = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
        int location2id = getPostiton(cursor.getString(3),cursor);
        location2.setSelection(location2id);
    

    I hope it will help for some one..
