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?
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..
