Customizing a spinner in android. 1

Customizing a spinner in android. 1

Hello everyone………

You all knew that a spinner or combobox is an inbuilt widget in android. And Like any other widgets spinners are also customizable.
Here is a simple example to customize a spinner. First we will look at the java code.
The getView method is called for each row in the spinner. So with the help of an Layout Inflater you can inflate any layout for each row.
At extreme you can have each layout for each row.
Now we will look at the code

Resources needed.
These are images I am using in this example. Put these images inside the res/drawable folder.
