====== Spinner control ======

//(Description and Example taken from the DroidScript documentation)//

=====Description=====

Create Spinners using the **CreateSpinner** method of the [[built_in:app|app]] object:
<code>spin = app.CreateSpinner( list, width, height, options );</code>

You can allow the Spinner to auto-size by leaving out the dimensions or you can specify a width and/or height as decimal fractions of the screen's width and height.

Use the **SetOnChange** method of your spinner to set the name of a function you want to be called when the user selects an item.

You can get the current selection of the Spinner button at any time using the **GetText** method and replace the option list at any time by using the SetList method.

Use the **SelectItem** method to select a particular item in code

=====Example=====
<code javascript>
function OnStart()
{
  lay = app.CreateLayout( "Linear", "VCenter,FillXY" );

  spin = app.CreateSpinner( "Bilbo,Frodo,Gandalf", 0.4 );
  spin.SetOnChange( ShowSelection );
  spin.SelectItem( "Frodo" );
  lay.AddChild( spin );

  app.AddLayout( lay );
}

function ShowSelection( item )
{
  app.ShowPopup( "Selected = " + item );
}
</code>

===== Methods =====
Some controls use the same methods.\\

----

===== Info to Version 1.15 and before =====
If the SelectItem method is called before the spinner and the layout is added to the app-object the OnChange event of the spinner is fired only after the second manual selection change. 

<code JavaScript spinnerSelectItem.js>
function OnStart()
{
  lay = app.CreateLayout( "Linear", "VCenter,FillXY" );

  spin = app.CreateSpinner( "Bilbo,Frodo,Gandalf", 0.4 );
  spin.SetOnChange( ShowSelection );
  //spin.SelectItem( "Frodo" ); Dont write it here!
  lay.AddChild( spin );

  app.AddLayout( lay );
  //Select the Item after app.AddLayout or
  //it will not work right!
  spin.SelectItem( "Frodo" );
}


function ShowSelection( item )
{
  app.ShowPopup( "Selected = " + item );
}
