选择状态微调器后填充城市微调器

Question

This is my question:

How do I have two spinners "State" and "City" but the city will be empty until the user selects a state first.

I am building my spinners dynamically using json data and you will see in my code below that once the state spinner value is != 0 then I use the item value of the state spinner and do another database call for my cities.

My only error is showing when I create my new ArrayAdapter to hold to the city data. I hate to post all of my code for my activity but not sure where my issue is.

public class SearchActivity extends Activity{
    private static final String TAG = "MyApp";
      @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.search_layout);

           final Spinner zipspinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.zipspinner);
           final Spinner cityspinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.cityspinner);        

            JSONArray jsonArray;
            final JSONArray cityArray;

            try {
//GET STATE VALUES FROM DATACALL (DATABASE)
                String spinnerContentType = "state";
                String spinnerURL = "getStoreState.php";
                String spinner_data =  DataCall.getJSON(spinnerURL,spinnerContentType); 

                jsonArray = new JSONArray(spinner_data);

                final String[] array_spinner = new String[jsonArray.length()]; 


                for (int i=0; i<jsonArray.length(); i++)
                {



                    String styleValue = jsonArray.getJSONArray(i).getString(0); 

                    array_spinner[i] = styleValue;

                }
    //ADD STATE VALUES TO SPINNER           
                ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = 
                    new ArrayAdapter<String> (this, 
                            android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,array_spinner);

                adapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.state_spinner_layout);
                zipspinner.setAdapter(adapter);

                zipspinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

                    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
                            int arg2, long arg3) {


                        int item = zipspinner.getSelectedItemPosition();

            //IF ITEM IN STATE IS SELECTED NOW GET CITIES FROM DATABALL         
                        if(item != 0){



                            try {
                                String item_value = array_spinner[item];
                                String spinnerContentType = "city";
                                String spinnerURL = "getStoreCity.php?state=" + item_value;
                                String city_data =  DataCall.getJSON(spinnerURL,spinnerContentType); 

                                cityArray = new JSONArray(city_data);

                                final String[] city_spinner = new String[cityArray.length()]; 


                                for (int i=0; i<cityArray.length(); i++)
                                {                       
                                    String styleValue = cityArray.getJSONArray(i).getString(0);                 
                                    city_spinner[i] = styleValue;                               
                                }

Answer 1

Set all your Adapter s and String arrays first and then just call adapter.notifyDatasetChanged() while you got the data for city. something like this:

String city_values[] = new String[]{"Please select a state."};
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter2 = new ArrayAdapter<String> (this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, city_spinner);
adapter2.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.city_spinner_layout);
cityspinner.setAdapter(adapter2);

for the zipspinner implement a OnItemSelectedListener .

zipspinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener()
{
    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent,View view, int pos, long id) {
        String value = state_values[pos];
        // now get your city list against value.           
        city_values = yourWayOfGettingData(value);
        adapter2.notifyDatasetChanged();
    }

    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView parent) {
      // Do nothing.
    }

});
