How to overwrite the Onitemselected method of a Spinner?

Question

I’m trying to overwrite the method Onitemselected of a Spinner in my Fragment, the same way I did with the Button, but it’s not working... how could I get the same result?

Inside Oncreate, the commented block works perfectly, but I want to "clean" it, because I have more than one spinner in this layout and this way is getting very polluted.

Another question: If possible, could someone explain to me how this method works Onnothingselected and how to use it more effectively?

In the expression "if (itemSelected != ". . .")" is because the first element of my spinner is a string with ". . ." , to not leave any item already selected from the beginning, has some better way to solve this?

My code is this:

Vetarano2.kt

import android.os.Bundle
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment
import android.view.LayoutInflater
import android.view.View
import android.view.ViewGroup

import android.widget.Toast
import com.mtsa.escudeiro_rpghelper.R

class Veterano2 : Fragment(), View.OnClickListener, AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener {

    private lateinit var spinner: Spinner
    private lateinit var button: Button

    override fun onCreateView(inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
                              savedInstanceState: Bundle?): View? {

        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        val fragView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_veterano2, container, false)


        initViews(fragView)
        initListeners()

        // SPINNER RAÇA
        /*
        spinner.onItemSelectedListener = object : AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener {
            override fun onItemSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>, view: View, position: Int, id: Long) {
                val selecionado = parent.getItemAtPosition(position) as String
                Toast.makeText(context, "Opção escolhida: $selecionado", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            }
            override fun onNothingSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>) {}
        }
        */

        return fragView
    }

    private fun initViews(v: View) {
        spinner = v.findViewById(R.id.spinner2)
        button = v.findViewById(R.id.button2)
    }

    private fun initListeners() {
        spinner.onItemSelectedListener = this
        button.setOnClickListener(this)
    }

    override fun onItemSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>?, view: View?, position: Int, id: Long) {
        when (view?.id) {
            R.id.spinner2 -> {
                val selecionado = parent?.getItemAtPosition(position) as String
                Toast.makeText(context, "Opção escolhida: $selecionado", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            }
        }
    }

    override fun onNothingSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>?) {
        TODO("not implemented") //To change body of created functions use File | Settings | File Templates.
    }

    override fun onClick(v: View?) {
        when (v?.id) {
            R.id.button2 -> {
                Toast.makeText(context, "SALVAR", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            }
        }
    }
}

Thank you, from now on!

EDIT: I edited the code for better visualization, but the problem persists

Answer 1

I discovered my mistake, it was just lack of attention... I don’t have to call in the view but in the Parent u_u

override fun onItemSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>?, view: View?, position: Int, id: Long) {
        when (parent?.id) {
            R.id.spinner2 -> {
                val selecionado = parent.getItemAtPosition(position) as String
                Toast.makeText(context, "Opção escolhida: $selecionado", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            }
        }
}

About how to set the onItemSelectedListener(this) (as if it were in java) you do as the commented code onItemSelectedListener = this
