Answer 1

You're almost there. As you can see, the onItemSelected will give you a position parameter, you can use this to retrieve the object from your adapter, as in getItemAtPosition(position).

Example:

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

...

public void onItemSelected(AdapterView parent, View view, int pos,long id) {
    Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), 
        "OnItemSelectedListener : " + parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString(),
        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

This will put a message on screen, with the selected item printed by its toString() method.
