You don't have to use Adapter... you just need to convert String array to List
And then use indexOf(Object object) to get the index of you spin using selected color

String [] strings = yourString.split(" ");
List<String> strList = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(strings));
//Or you can load array from xml...
//List<String> strList2 = Arrays.asList(getResources().getStringArray(R.array.array_color));
spinner.setSelection(strList.indexOf("colorvalue"));
