I have a SearchableSpinner and I want to display the text in the center of it
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<com.toptoche.searchablespinnerlibrary.SearchableSpinner
android:id="@+id/spinner_client"
style="@style/spinner_style_v2"
android:layout_width="300dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="true"/>
</LinearLayout>
and here the custom style. I tried adding <item name="android:textAlignment">center</item> but it’s not working also I’ve tried <item name="android:paddingTop">10dp</item>
to see if the text will move to the bottom a little bit but it’s not moving.
<style name="spinner_style_v2">
<item name="android:layout_width">match_parent</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:background">@drawable/gradient_spinner</item>
<item name="android:popupBackground">#DFFFFFFF</item>
</style>
Spinner adapter
try {
if (clientList != null && clientList.size() > 0) {
ArrayAdapter<Client> clientArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<Client>(getApplicationContext(), R.layout.support_simple_spinner_dropdown_item, clientList);
clientArrayAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
clientSpinner.setAdapter(clientArrayAdapter);
clientSpinner.setTitle("Choose Client");
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.d(TAG, ex.toString());
}
Answer
To center item in your Spinner create a Custom layout and center TextView with android:gravity="center" like the XML below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center">
</TextView>
and in your java code use this layout as @LayoutRes in your Adapter :
ArrayAdapter<Client> clientArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<Client>(getApplicationContext(),R.layout.simple_text, clientList);
