P.S. this is how I define a Spinner in an XML layout

<Spinner
android:id="@+id/SPINNER_ID"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center_horizontal" />

Answer 3

This looks enough like the turorial, so refer back to that. See below:

This line needs to be within the onCreate();

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener());
