The user of our app should be able to adjust a floating point number. At the moment, I filled an ArrayAdapter with all possible values and attached it to a spinner.
This solution doesn't really meet our expectations, since the spinner dropdown box is way too tall. Is there a better way? I was looking at Numberpicker - but this seems to work only with Integer values.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
NumberPicker is not just for integers.. Even you can use Floats String etc.
see this and read about it.
for tutorials :
And I had used NumberPicker long ago like this and it might be some use posting here:
NumberPicker np;
String nums[]= {"Select Fraction","1/64","1/32","3/64","1/16","5/64","3/32","7/64","1/8","9/64","5/32","11/64","3/16","13/64","7/32","15/64","1/4","17/64","9/32","19/64","5/16","21/64","11/32","23/64","3/8","25/64","13/32","27/64","7/16","29/64"};
np = (NumberPicker) findViewById(R.id.np);
np.setMaxValue(nums.length-1);
np.setMinValue(0);
np.setWrapSelectorWheel(false);
np.setDisplayedValues(nums);
np.setDescendantFocusability(NumberPicker.FOCUS_BLOCK_DESCENDANTS);
You can make ArrayList of any datatype and assign it.
