Allow user to add items to spinner in Kotlin

Question

I have a spinner where the contents are from an Array in Strings.xml. However I would like to be able to let the user add items to the array. Can anyone help and let me know if there is a way to do this?

Many thanks

Thank you, not sure yet, I am looking into it. – Glenn Arnold Oct 17 '20 at 16:51 — Glenn Arnold, Oct 17 '20 at 16:51

ArrayAdapter has a method add(object) as seen here: ArrayAdapter | Android Developer

For example:

fun addItem(item: T) {
    arrayAdapter.add(item)

    // Refreshes the view to reflect the changes applied to arrayAdapter
    arrayAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged()  
}
