I have created a spinner in my app which i want to be invisible when someone press the sos button then it should be visible for the user to select one option in it how can i solve it? this is the result i have created

Solution

  • You can use the below code to hide and show the Spinner

    //hide
spinner.setVisibility(View.GONE);

//show
spinner.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

    Also,you can use the below code snippet to get the item selected by user;

    spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

...

public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos,long id) {
    Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), 
    "OnItemSelectedListener : " + parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString(),
    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
