set view text align at center in spinner in android
You need to set your own layout for spinner item.
SpinnerAdapter adap = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.spinner_item, new String[]{"A", "B", "C"});
spriner.setAdapter(adap);
Where R.layout.spinner_item is a layout with content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:text="Sample Text"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:paddingTop="5dp"></TextView>
Create a adapter for your spinner like this,
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(context, R.layout.my_spinner_style,array_of_values) {
public View getView(int position, View convertView,ViewGroup parent) {
View v = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
((TextView) v).setTextSize(16);
return v;
}
public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView,ViewGroup parent) {
View v = super.getDropDownView(position, convertView,parent);
((TextView) v).setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
return v;
}
};
Now your layout R.layout.my_spinner_style,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+android:id/text1"
style="?android:attr/spinnerItemStyle"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="marquee" />
Now set this adapter to your spinner,
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
This is very simple. Just create a xml
file named as, for example, spinner_item.xml
with content as
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#111111"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textAlignment="center"
/>
Now in your Java
class, instead of adding Android's default view resource add your custom view resource as
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter= new ArrayAdapter<String>(context, R.layout.spinner_item, myList);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.spinner_item);
The textAlignment line will do the trick.
Setting textAlignment to center will place the text in center.
android:textAlignment="center"
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatSpinner
android:id="@+id/spinner_areas"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:visibility="visible"
android:gravity="center"
android:textAlignment="center"/>
