Set initial text displayed in Combobox from code in Codename one

Question

I'm trying to set the initial a combobox displays, it should be from code. The elements in my combobox are strings.

Answer 1

The question is how did you fill the combo box to begin with?

I'm assuming the combo box isn't filled with integers. If you want to select by an offset you need to invoke setSelectedIndex not setSelectedItem.
