LabelledSpinner

A Spinner component with a floating label for Android, similar to EditText components wrapped in a TextInputLayout. It answers this question on Stack Overflow, and another similar question.

Gradle (Android Studio)

You can add this Android library to your Gradle dependencies.

To do so, add the following to your app module's build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.farbod.labelledspinner:labelledspinner:1.1.5'
}

Usage

Below is a basic example of how LabelledSpinner can be used. There is also a sample app you can view on this repository, showcasing LabelledSpinner's features in more detail.

XML layout file:

xmlns:ls="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

...

<com.farbod.labelledspinner.LabelledSpinner
        android:id="@+id/your_labelled_spinner"
        ls:labelText="@string/your_spinner_label"
        ls:widgetColor="#F44336"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

And then in Java code...

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.example_usage);
    ...
    LabelledSpinner yourSpinner = (LabelledSpinner) findViewById(R.id.your_labelled_spinner);
    yourSpinner.setItemsArray(R.array.your_array);
    yourSpinner.setOnItemChosenListener(this);
}

@Override
public void onItemChosen(View labelledSpinner, AdapterView<?> adapterView, View itemView, int position, long id) {
    switch (labelledSpinner.getId()) {
        case R.id.your_labelled_spinner:
            // Do something here
            break;
        // If you have multiple LabelledSpinners, you can add more cases here
    }
}

@Override
public void onNothingChosen(View labelledSpinner, AdapterView<?> adapterView) {
    // Do something here
}
