Android Question views for labels and spinners

Labels and Spinners are not views for text input.



SQLite has nothing to do with your question; you can edit the thread title:

I changed the thread title, but I'm not sure how to ask the question. I want to be able to save text from a label and spinner.

Save the text to a file ? or SQL database ?

Right now I'm using the below code. I would prefer for edtIn and edtOut to be labels instead of edit text. Labels do not work with InputType. I'm trying to find something that does.

If FirstTime Then
SQL.Initialize(File.DirInternal, "vet.db", True)
End If
Activity.LoadLayout("Veteran")
pnl1.Visible = True
pnl2.Visible = False

Dim m As Map
m.Initialize
m.Put("ID", DBUtils.DB_TEXT)
m.Put("Event", DBUtils.DB_TEXT)
m.Put("First", DBUtils.DB_TEXT)
m.Put("Last", DBUtils.DB_TEXT)
m.Put("Rank", DBUtils.DB_TEXT)
m.Put("CheckIn", DBUtils.DB_TEXT)
m.Put("CheckOut", DBUtils.DB_TEXT)
DBUtils.CreateTable(SQL, "Vet", m, "ID")



edtEvent.InputType = edtEvent.INPUT_TYPE_TEXT
edtFirst.InputType = edtFirst.INPUT_TYPE_NONE
edtLast.InputType = edtLast.INPUT_TYPE_NONE
edtRank.InputType = edtRank.INPUT_TYPE_NONE
edtIn.InputType = edtIn.INPUT_TYPE_TEXT
edtOut.InputType = edtOut.INPUT_TYPE_TEXT

I need to save it to a database. Have it displayed in a web view table then exported as a CSV.

and this?



edit: I wrote this before the above DB posts appeared, but I'll leave it here just in case there's still something of use

if edtIn and edtOut are Labels rather than EditTexts, then they are already INPUT_TYPE_TEXT (ie, String) and you don't need to set any input restrictions.

But because they are Labels, the user cannot change the text. You can, though: you can both read (save?) and write the text of a Label using Label.Text.

Thanks emexes I think I got it.
