Dynamic change the content of Spinner

In the last post Apply List to Spinner, the content of Spinner is come from a List. We can change the List programmatically, to change the content of the Spinner, then call notifyDataSetChanged() of the ArrayAdapter to update the Spinner.

It's a example modify from the last post. There are two Spinner. When the Move button clicked, the current item of Spinner1 will be moved to Spinner2.

package com.AndroidListSpinner;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Spinner;

public class AndroidListSpinnerActivity extends Activity {
 
 Button btnMove;
 Spinner MySpinner1, MySpinner2;
 List<String> myList1, myList2;
 private ArrayAdapter<String> myAdapter1, myAdapter2;
 
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        btnMove = (Button)findViewById(R.id.move);
        MySpinner1 = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.myspinner1);
        MySpinner2 = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.myspinner2);
        
        initList();
        myAdapter1 = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, myList1);
        myAdapter1.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        MySpinner1.setAdapter(myAdapter1);
        
        myAdapter2 = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, myList2);
        myAdapter2.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        MySpinner2.setAdapter(myAdapter2);

        btnMove.setOnClickListener(MoveOnClickListener);
    }
    
    Button.OnClickListener MoveOnClickListener
    = new Button.OnClickListener(){

  @Override
  public void onClick(View arg0) {
   // TODO Auto-generated method stub
   int pos = MySpinner1.getSelectedItemPosition();
   
   if(pos != AdapterView.INVALID_POSITION){
    myList2.add(myList1.get(pos));
    myList1.remove(pos);
    myAdapter1.notifyDataSetChanged();
    myAdapter2.notifyDataSetChanged();
   }
  }};
    
    void initList(){
     myList1 = new ArrayList<String>();
     myList1.add("Sunday");
     myList1.add("Monday");
     myList1.add("Tuesday");
     myList1.add("Wednesday");
     myList1.add("Thursday");
     myList1.add("Friday");
     myList1.add("Saturday");
     
     myList2 = new ArrayList<String>();
    }
}
