  • Hello,thanks for the answer ,the links you provided ( i tried them but no use they are showing only default text which i can also do ) but i want both (default text + database values ).like this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/867518/how-to-make-an-android-spinner-with-initial-text-select-one (3rd post images) here he is getting data from strings ,but here i want data from database which has default text.any help? – aayviD Mar 15 '16 at 12:24
  • @aayviD I think you are talking about something like this> like there are 5,6,or soon values coming from database and you need one value at the top of the list in your spinner. If it is so then you may need to add a defaut value in the list when you have completed fetching your values from db. If is not then please elaborate your question may be i have understood something different – Harsh Sharma Mar 15 '16 at 12:31

if(siz!= null && !siz.isEmpty())
{
String[] seperatedsize = siz.split(", ");
**StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
stringBuilder.append("Select your Size!").append(",");
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
    stringBuilder.append(arr[i]).append(",");
}
String strTemp=sb.toString();
seperatedsize=strTemp.split(",");**     
ArrayAdapter spinnersize = new ArrayAdapter(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,seperatedsize);
spinnersize.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
Size.setAdapter(spinnersize);
//  spinnersize.add("select");
//  spinnersize.setPrompt("Select your Size!");
}

You can try this out.

or

you can use ArrayList<String> to hold your data.After storing data in array list just call add(0,"Select your Size!") with ArrayList<String> object.

Demo code : 

ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
arrayList.add("b");
arrayList.add("c");
arrayList.add("d");
arrayList.add("e");
arrayList.add("f");
arrayList.add(0, "a");

Result : a,b,c,d,e,f
