Spinner with Material Design
Slightly modified version of original ganfra/MaterialSpinner. Library also provides own array adapter, which does not have annoying left padding.
Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file
Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
Step 2. Add the dependency
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.Moravec-Jan:MaterialSpinner:2.0.5'
}
If you use other libraries requiring appcompat-v7 like MaterialEditText make sure to exclude them if you have issue at compile time :
implementation ('com.github.Moravec-Jan:MaterialSpinner:2.0.5'){
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat-v7'
}
Many thanks to Matías Dumrauf to help me supporting this library!
In the xml :
<fr.ganfra.materialspinner.MaterialSpinner
android:id="@+id/spinner"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:ms_multiline="false"
app:ms_dropDownHintView="@layout/my_custom_dropdown_hint_item_layout"
app:ms_hintView="@layout/my_custom_hint_item_layout"
app:ms_hint="hint"
app:ms_enableFloatingLabel="false"
app:ms_enableErrorLabel="false"
app:ms_floatingLabelText="floating label"
app:ms_baseColor="@color/base"
app:ms_highlightColor="@color/highlight"
app:ms_errorColor="@color/error"
app:ms_typeface="typeface.ttf"
app:ms_thickness="2dp"
app:ms_hintColor="@color/hint"
app:ms_arrowColor="@color/arrow"
app:ms_arrowSize="16dp"
app:ms_alignLabels="false"
app:ms_floatingLabelColor="@color/floating_label"/>
You can set a hint and a floating label text. If no floating label text is provided, the hint will be set instead.
MaterialSpinner.createDefaultSpinner(EnergyVisualizationApp.getInstance(), items); Java side, you use it like a regular spinner, setting an adapter to it.
String[] ITEMS = {"Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", "Item 4", "Item 5", "Item 6"};
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = MaterialSpinner.createDefaultSpinner(this, ITEMS);
spinner = (MaterialSpinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
If you need to set an error message, you can do it the same way than with an EditText :
//Activate
spinner.setError("Error");
//Desactivate
spinner.setError(null);
You can choose to have a scrolling animation or to set the error message on multiple lines with the "ms_multiline" attribute in xml (default is true).
