Android Spinner: Get the selected item change event

Question

How can you set the event listener for a Spinner when the selected item changes?

Basically what I am trying to do is something similar to this:

spinn         


        

Answer 1

You can implement AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener class in your Activity.

And then use the below line within onCreate()

Spinner spin = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
spin.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

Then override these two methods:

public void onItemSelected(AdapterView parent, View v, int position, long id) {
    selection.setText(items[position]);
}

public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView parent) {
    selection.setText("");
}
