Can I launch game from steam at fullscreen on external monitor on laptop?

Question

I tryed to create two dependent spinners. I know there is more than enough of this type of question, but nothing fixed my problem. It seems onItemSelected does not fire at all. I want the second (townships_spinner) change when first spinner (divisions_spinner) is selected or changed. Let's say I have states and cities, when I select the state a want to display only cities from given state. Spinners are created dynamicaly.

That's my code:

public class RegistrationActivity extends Activity implements AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener {
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    ...
    createLayout();
  }

  public void createLayout(){
    division_spinner = new Spinner(this);

    ArrayAdapter division_adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,R.layout.spinner,divisions.getList());
    divisions_id = viewer.getValueByKey(viewer_form.getViewers_form_viewers_inputname());
    division_spinner.setAdapter(division_adapter);
    division_spinner.setSelection(divisions.getIndex(divisions_id));
    division_spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

    township_spinner = new Spinner(this);
    ArrayAdapter township_adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,R.layout.spinner,townships_map.get(divisions_id));
    if (divisions_id == null) {
      township_spinner.setEnabled(false);
    }
    String value = viewer.getValueByKey(viewer_form.getViewers_form_viewers_inputname());
    township_spinner.setSelection(townships.getIndex(value, divisions_id));
  }

  public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,long arg3) {

    Toast.makeText(RegistrationActivity.this, "Yes",Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
    if(arg0.equals(division_spinner)) {
        Toast.makeText(RegistrationActivity.this, "Yes - You got it!",Toast.LENGTH_LONG);

        township_spinner.setEnabled(true);
        ArrayAdapter township_adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.spinner, townships_map.get(((Division)division_spinner.getSelectedItem()).getDivisions_id().toString()));
        township_spinner.setAdapter(township_adapter);
    }
  }

  public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {

  }
}

But "Yes" even "Yes - you got it!" toast does not appear.

I guess I miss something stupid, but I cant find it.

Solution 1

I was able to get it working in Ubuntu 14.04 under the display settings under "Launcher Placement" selecting the monitor I wanted my apps to launch on. Hope this helps! Now Dota 2 launches on my primary full screen! WEWT

Solution 2

I had this problem, still have it I guess. The only way I was able to fix it was to make the monitor I wanted the game on to start at pixel 0,0. My 19" 4:3 was on the left and my 22" 16:9 was on the right and Dota 2 was forever launching on the left monitor no matter where I put the launcher.

I swapped the monitors (logically, mind you), so that the 22" 16:9 was on the left beginning at 0,0 and Dota2 launched on the widescreen properly.

I am doing the same thing as you. Hopefully someone with a solution answer this question :(

Can't test it now but I'll try it for sure:)

Thanks for answer, but my code works as well. I miss something really stupid... Toast.makeText( ).SHOW() ... my fault, I'm so sorry... +1 for the .show()

This worked for me with Dota 2 on Ubuntu 18.04 (with Unity). (go to gear icon in top right -> System Settings -> Display)
