Why do it the hard way when you can do it the right way?

I refer to the manual:

http://d.android.com/reference/android/widget/AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener.html#onItemSelected%28android.widget.AdapterView%3C?%3E,%20android.view.View,%20int,%20long%29

example code:

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id)
        {
            int index = spinner.getSelectedItemPosition();
            Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), 
                "You have selected item : " + index + " which is row " + id, 
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();                
        }
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView arg0) {}
    });
