I declare my Spinner in the following manner (it's very static so I
have 2 string arrays in array.xml for titles and values)
<Spinner
android:id="@+id/searchCriteria"
android:entries="@array/searchBy"
android:entryValues="@array/searchByValues" />
I expect spinner.getSelectedItem() to return an array [title, value]
but in fact it returns just a title String. Is it ignoring
android:entryValues? How do I get a value, not a title from it? Is
this doable with XML only or do I need to create adapter and do it
programmatically?
