Problem detecting Spinner component

Question

iterating through a View's components the following code works:

if (child.getClass() == EditText.class) {
  ...
} else if (child.getClass() == TextView.class) {
  ...

but this doesn't:

} else if (child.getClass() == Spinner.class) {
  ...

What's the difference between the Spinner class an the other two ?

My mistake ... I was previousy checking if it was a ViewGroup object so It never reached the condition

Thanks

Consider using instanceof. It will support subclasses. – pawelzieba Mar 23 '11 at 18:05 — pawelzieba, Mar 23 '11 at 18:05

Have you considered using

if(child instanceof EditText){}
else if(child instanceof TextView){}
else if(child instanceof Spinner){}
