Custom Spinner Adapter

Question

I wanted to apply a custom font to my spinner. The only way i found out is that to create a custom adapter. Here is my code

    private class CustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter {      private Context context;     private List<CharSequence> itemList;     public CustomAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId,List<CharSequence> itemList) {          super(context, textViewResourceId);         this.context=context;         this.itemList=itemList;     }      public TextView getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {          TextView v = (TextView) super                 .getView(position, convertView, parent);         Typeface myTypeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),                 "fonts/gilsanslight.otf");         v.setTypeface(myTypeFace);         v.setText(itemList.get(position));         return v;     }      public TextView getDropDownView(int position, View convertView,             ViewGroup parent) {          TextView v = (TextView) super                 .getView(position, convertView, parent);         Typeface myTypeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),                 "fonts/gilsanslight.otf");         v.setTypeface(myTypeFace);         v.setText(itemList.get(position));         return v;     }  } 

Then i use

List<CharSequence> itemList = new ArrayList<CharSequence>(             Arrays.asList(items));      mySpinnerArrayAdapter = new   CustomAdapter(context,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,itemList);      spinner.setAdapter(mySpinnerArrayAdapter); 

After doing this, my adapter is empty. Can anyone please help me ? The items contains a list of countries.

Kind Regards,

Try

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {      LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();             View row = inflater.inflate(yourRowlayout, parent,                     false);        TextView make = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.Make);         Typeface myTypeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),                 "fonts/gilsanslight.otf");         v.setTypeface(myTypeFace);         v.setText(itemList.get(position));         return row;     }   public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {          LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();                 View row = inflater.inflate(yourRowlayout, parent,                         false);            TextView make = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.Make);             Typeface myTypeFace = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),                     "fonts/gilsanslight.otf");             v.setTypeface(myTypeFace);             v.setText(itemList.get(position));             return row;         }

Pass itemList as parameter in super class constructor

public CustomAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId,List<CharSequence> itemList) {      super(context, textViewResourceId, itemList);     this.context=context;     this.itemList=itemList; }
