After spending entirely one day with this i figured out that the problem was caused by

<itemname="android:inputType">textCapCharacters</item>

that was in my styles.xml file. I have no idea why this line of code caused the error but at least it works now after i removed that line. Below a full copy of my styles.xml file prior to removing the faulty line

<!-- Base application theme. --><stylename="AppTheme"parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"><!-- Customize your theme here. --><itemname="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item><itemname="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item><itemname="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item><itemname="android:textColor">@color/white</item><itemname="android:inputType">textCapCharacters</item><itemname="colorControlActivated">@color/white</item><itemname="colorControlHighlight">@color/white</item><itemname="colorControlNormal">@color/white</item></style>

I hope this helps someone in the future

Solution 2:

SOMETIMES THE ISSUE MAY ALSO BE BECAUSE YOU HAVE PLACED YOUR SPINNER OUTSIDE THE LAYOUT YOU ARE CALLING . THIS WILL NOT SHOW ANY ERROR BUT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH THE SPINNER VIEW

Solution 3:

You can use onItemClickListener like below

spinner.setOnItemClickListener(newAdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

@OverridepublicvoidonItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Item number: " + position, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}

});

Solution 4:

Try removing the xml attribute android:clickable="true" from the Spinner widget. It could be that the entire spinner is registering the click event rather than the individual spinner items.
