I'm having problems with the Android HelloViews Spinner Tutorial. An error in HelloSpinner.java indicates that "Rid cannot be resolved" and "R.array cannot be resolved". The error in AndroidManifest.xml reads: "No resource found that matches the specified name (in the" label "with the value" @ string / app_name ") and" No found resource that matches the specified name (in the label with the value '@string / app_name ') ".
Here is my complete code:
HelloSpinner.java
package net.brianwolf.hellospinner;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Spinner;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener;
public class HelloSpinner extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
android.widget.Spinner spinner = (android.widget.Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
this, R.array.planets_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener());
}
public class MyOnItemSelectedListener implements OnItemSelectedListener {
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent,
View view, int pos, long id) {
Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), "The planet is " +
parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView parent) {
}
}
}
