Possible to inflate android spinner layout extended by ActionBarSherlock? -

is possible inflate textview @android:id/text1 ? don't want create own layout, little modified text.

here code:

first, created variable store data

private list<hashmap<string, string>> datacities = new arraylist<hashmap<string, string>>(); //hashmap keys , values //id - 0 //name - default 

second, created custom adapter in oncreate

@override protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) { //... spinner citiesspinner = (spinner) findviewbyid(r.id.city_sp); citiesadapter = new customarrayadapter(this, r.layout.sherlock_spinner_item, datacities); citiesspinner.setadapter(citiesadapter); } 

third, created listener. works after calling notifydatasetchanged nothing happens. why?

@override public void onrequestjsonresponded(requesttype type, jsonarray array) {     //my enum type     switch (type) {         case cities:             //returns hashmap in arraylist, arraylist<hashmap<string,string>> ...             datacities = parsejsonarray(array);             log.d(tag, "end of parsing");             citiesadapter.notifydatasetchanged();             break;         case mark:             //...             break;         case model:             break;     } } 

here custom arrayadapter

private class customarrayadapter extends arrayadapter<hashmap<string, string>> {      public customarrayadapter(context context, int textviewresourceid, list<hashmap<string, string>> objects) {         super(context, textviewresourceid, objects);     }      @override     public view getview(int position, view convertview, viewgroup parent) {         layoutinflater layoutinflater = layoutinflater.from(getcontext());         view v = layoutinflater.inflate(r.layout.sherlock_spinner_item, null);         textview tv = (textview)v.findviewbyid(android.r.id.text1);         tv.settext(getitem(position).get("name"));          return v;      }  } 

could tell me why blank spinner data? (spinner empty). , how modified text without creating new layout? use sherlock spinner item layout. please help.

simple, list in adapter not same list retrieved:

        //in here update activity's list returned values         datacities = parsejsonarray(array);         log.d(tag, "end of parsing");         //but adapter using original value of datacities (new arraylist<hashmap<string, string>>() )         citiesadapter.notifydatasetchanged(); 

since adapter depends on arrayadapter, easiest solution might create new adapter when data received.
