its currently selected value. Touching the spinner displays a dropdown menu with all other available

<h4>Spinners in forms</h4>
|
|
<p>Spinners are useful for data picking in forms. They are compact and integrate nicely with other
|
|
components. Use spinners in forms for both simple data input and in combination with other input
|
|
fields. For example, a text field might let you edit an email address for a contact, while its
|
|
associated spinner allows you to select whether it's a Home or Work address.</p>

<h4>Spinners in action bars</h4>
|
|
<p>Use spinners in action bars to switch views. For example, Gmail uses a spinner to permit switching
|
|
between accounts or commonly used labels. Spinners are useful when changing the view is important to
|
|
your app, but not necessarily a frequent occurrence. In cases where view switching is frequent, use
|
|
tabs.</p>
