Add Image To Item (spinner)

Hi I am an amateur in android .I would like to add images to my spinner's item. Unfortunately, I dont know how to do it . Below is my xml file and MainActivity. Thanks for reading

Solution 1:

Use custom Spinner

activity_main

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/simpleSpinner"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="50dp" />

</RelativeLayout>

custom_spinner_items.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><LinearLayoutxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:orientation="horizontal"><ImageViewandroid:id="@+id/imageView"android:layout_width="50dp"android:layout_height="50dp"android:padding="5dp"android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" /><!--Make sure image is present in Drawable folder--><TextViewandroid:id="@+id/textView"android:layout_width="fill_parent"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_gravity="center"android:padding="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"android:text="Demo"android:textColor="#000" /></LinearLayout>

MainActivity.java

package example.abhiandriod.customspinnerexample;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;

    String[] countryNames={"India","China","Australia","Portugle","America","New Zealand"};
    int flags[] = {R.drawable.india, R.drawable.china, R.drawable.australia, R.drawable.portugle, R.drawable.america, R.drawable.new_zealand};

    @OverrideprotectedvoidonCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        //Getting the instance of Spinner and applying OnItemSelectedListener on itSpinnerspin= (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.simpleSpinner);
        spin.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

        CustomAdapter customAdapter=newCustomAdapter(getApplicationContext(),flags,countryNames);
        spin.setAdapter(customAdapter);
    }


    //Performing action onItemSelected and onNothing selected@OverridepublicvoidonItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int position,long id) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), countryNames[position], Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

    @OverridepublicvoidonNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    }

    @OverridepublicbooleanonCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        returntrue;
    }

    @OverridepublicbooleanonOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.intid= item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatementif (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            returntrue;
        }

        returnsuper.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

CustomAdapter.java

package example.abhiandriod.customspinnerexample;

import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.BaseAdapter;

publicclassCustomAdapterextendsBaseAdapter {
    Context context;
    int flags[];
    String[] countryNames;
    LayoutInflater inflter;

    publicCustomAdapter(Context applicationContext, int[] flags, String[] countryNames) {
        this.context = applicationContext;
        this.flags = flags;
        this.countryNames = countryNames;
        inflter = (LayoutInflater.from(applicationContext));
    }

    @OverridepublicintgetCount() {
        return flags.length;
    }

    @Overridepublic Object getItem(int i) {
        returnnull;
    }

    @OverridepubliclonggetItemId(int i) {
        return0;
    }

    @Overridepublic View getView(int i, View view, ViewGroup viewGroup) {
        view = inflter.inflate(R.layout.custom_spinner_items, null);
        ImageViewicon= (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.imageView);
        TextViewnames= (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.textView);
        icon.setImageResource(flags[i]);
        names.setText(countryNames[i]);
        return view;
    }
}
