How to remove Spinner's ellipsize or '…' at the end?


How to remove Spinner's ellipsize or '…' at the end?



I made a few Spinners and the length(width) of Spinner is shorter than the name of some items.



For example, after choosing an item.



[South K...▼]


[South K...▼]



But what I want is this:



[South Kore▼]


[South Kore▼]



(But not [South Kore▼a] nor overlapped.)


[South Kore▼a]



It seems like Spinner in Layout(XML) doesn't have any attributes like ellipsize. And I couldn't find any information online.



Is there any way to solve this problem?

Provide custom layout for Spinner:


ArrayAdapter adapter= new ArrayAdapter(mOwnerActivity, R.layout.simple_list_item_1, new ArrayList<>());



Layout: R.layout.simple_list_item_1 -->


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/text1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp" />



set adapter to your spinner:


spinner.setAdapter(adapter);



Hope it will help you.





What about style and margin?

style


margin





just remove it apply your own style

Could you please give me additional information about ▼? It seems it has margin-left and margin-right. How can I remove them? It looks like [South Kor ▼ ] now. I want like [South Korea▼] without any spaces.
– Chanjung Kim

▼





just remove the padding of textview and adjust textview according to your need.
– Shiv Jalkote
Jun 30 at 6:49





That's the result of giving 0dp to its padding. I guess the margin belongs to ▼ and even though I manipulate the TextView, It's not affected.

0dp


▼



You to have no ellipse



use:
android:ellipsize = "none"


android:ellipsize = "none"





It doesn't have ellipsize attribute.

ellipsize





I guess @Shomu meant custom spinner layout. custom spinner layout is made of TextView. So, it has ellipsize attribute and I can customize it.

custom spinner layout


custom spinner layout


TextView


ellipsize



When you create Adapter, you need to input three parameters.



Context, Layout, ArrayList


Context


Layout


ArrayList



So, If you change the Layout(Customize). You can solve this problem.


Layout



This should change:


ArrayAdapter<String> categoryAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(getContext(), android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, getResources().getStringArray(R.array.categories_array));



To:


ArrayAdapter<String> categoryAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(getContext(), R.layout.custom_spinner_item, getResources().getStringArray(R.array.categories_array));



NOTE: It is not android.R.layout.xxx. but R.layout.xxx WITHOUT android.



And create layout like this(under layout):


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/text1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="@dimen/spinner_margin"
android:textColor="@color/black"
android:maxLines="1"
/>



You can change the @dimen and @color as your taste.


@dimen


@color



What I did is:



colors.xml


colors.xml


<color name="black">#000</color>



dimen.xml


dimen.xml


<dimen name="spinner_margin">0dp</dimen>

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this: run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it. The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select. As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful"). Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...
