I am trying to to create a Spinner
inside a Fragment
but I am getting error in the ArrayAdapter
constructor call. I don't know why, but it has a red underline. Other than that, there is no error. When I'm using the same ArrayAdapter
in an Activity
it works, but in a Fragment
, it gives an error.
My FirstFragment.kt
:
class FirstFragment : Fragment() {
private var mListener: OnFragmentInteractionListener? = null
override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater?, container: ViewGroup?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater!!.inflate(R.layout.fragment_first, container, false)
}
override fun onViewCreated(view: View?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
/*Find the id of spinner*/
val spinner = lol
/*set an adapter with strings array*/
spinner.adapter = ArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.support_simple_spinner_dropdown_item, resources.getStringArray(R.array.atoms)) as SpinnerAdapter?
/*set click listener*/
spinner.onItemSelectedListener = object : AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener {
override fun onItemSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>, view: View, position: Int, id: Long) {
val num = when (spinner.selectedItem.toString()) {
"H" -> editText.setText("1")
"He" -> editText.setText("4")
"C" -> editText.setText("12")
"O" -> editText.setText("16")
else -> editText.setText("")
}
}
override fun onNothingSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>) {
/*Do something if nothing selected*/
}
}
button.setOnClickListener {
if (
editText2.text.toString().length > 0 &&
editText.text.toString().length > 0) {
val num2 = editText.text.toString().toDouble()
val num1 = editText2.text.toString().toDouble()
val num = num1/num2
textView.setText("$num moles")
}
else {
textView.setText("Please Enter a correct value")
}
}
}
}

The problem is in this constructor call:
spinner.adapter = ArrayAdapter(
this,
R.layout.support_simple_spinner_dropdown_item,
resources.getStringArray(R.array.atoms)
) as SpinnerAdapter
The argument this
must be a reference to a Context
, and a Fragment
is not a Context
. In an Activity
it works because an Activity
is a Context
.
The solution is to replace this
with activity
:
spinner.adapter = ArrayAdapter(
activity,
R.layout.support_simple_spinner_dropdown_item,
resources.getStringArray(R.array.atoms)
)
