Answer 2

Since the latest language for Android Development is Kotlin. Here is, how we do it in Kotlin using Anonymous object.

spinnerName?.onItemSelectedListener = object : AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener{
    override fun onNothingSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>?) {
       println("Nothing Selected")
    }

    override fun onItemSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>?, view: View?, position: Int, id: Long) {
       val selectedString = yourList[position]
    }

}

Answer 3

Get the selected item with Kotlin:

spinner.selectedItem.toString()

Answer 4

try this

sp1 = String.valueOf(spinner.getSelectedItem());

Answer 5

The best way to do this is :-

String selectedItem = spinner.getSelectedItem().toString();

you can refer the docs here : Spinners

Answer 6

If your Spinner was populated by SQLite cursor, then the solution is:

Spinner mySpin = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.myspin);
mySpin.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {  
@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
           SQLiteCursor item = (SQLiteCursor) parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
           String value = String.valueOf(item.getString(0));
           Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "The option is:" + value , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); 
 }

PS: In item.getString(0) -> 0 is the index of column on cursor that you want to get.
