Nice Spinner 
NiceSpinner is a re-implementation of the default Android's spinner, with a nice arrow animation and a different way to display its content.
It follows the material design guidelines, and it is compatible starting from Api 14.
Usage
The usage is pretty straightforward. Add the tag into the XML layout:
<org.angmarch.views.NiceSpinner
android:id="@+id/nice_spinner"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="16dp"/>- Note: change
layout_widthto at least the width of the largest item on the list to prevent resizing
Then use this snippet to populate it with contents:
NiceSpinner niceSpinner = (NiceSpinner) findViewById(R.id.nice_spinner);
List<String> dataset = new LinkedList<>(Arrays.asList("One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five"));
niceSpinner.attachDataSource(dataset);Listeners
For listening to the item selection actions, you can just use the following snippet:
spinner.setOnSpinnerItemSelectedListener(new OnSpinnerItemSelectedListener() {
@Override
public void onItemSelected(NiceSpinner parent, View view, int position, long id) {
// This example uses String, but your type can be any
String item = parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
...
}
});Attributes
You can add attributes to customize the view. Available attributes:
| name | type | info |
|---|---|---|
| arrowTint | color | sets the color on the drop-down arrow |
| hideArrow | boolean | set whether show or hide the drop-down arrow |
| arrowDrawable | reference | set the drawable of the drop-down arrow |
| textTint | color | set the text color |
| dropDownListPaddingBottom | dimension | set the bottom padding of the drop-down list |
| backgroundSelector | integer | set the background selector for the drop-down list rows |
| popupTextAlignment | enum | set the horizontal alignment of the default popup text |
| entries | reference | set the data source from an array of strings |
