I have created a spinner at the header of a listview. How do I add text into it? I would like to show the text in the spinnerText.

String[] spinnerText = { "Sort by date posted (latest to oldest)", "Sort by price (lowest to highest)"}; LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this); View spinTop = inflater.inflate(R.layout.spin, null); getListView().addHeaderView(spinTop);

You should try to use an ArrayAdapter like this :

spinTop.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(context, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, spinnerText));

You have to use an ArrayAdapter<String> as follows:

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,spinnerText); adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); spinTop.setAdapter(adapter);

Also you'll have to cast spinTop:

Spinner spinTop = (Spinner) inflater.inflate(R.layout.spin, null);

Already cast the spinTop but i am having this error: The method setAdapter(ArrayAdapter<String>) is undefined for the type View
Declare spinTop as a Spinner, not as a View.
