Android - How to get the selected item value from a spinner and put it into a string?

Question

i read many similar questions on this thread, but none of them help me... This is my code:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            


        

Answer 1

is

imc_met=spinner.getSelectedItem().toString();

not

imc_met=Spinner.getSelectedItem().toString();

Answer 2

If spinner isn't define in onCreate() method then have to use this:

String spinner_value = ((Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner1)).getSelectedItem().toString(); 

Answer 3

Try this:

imc_met=Spinner.getSelectedItem().toString();

I'm sorry. I forgot

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView, View selectedItemView, int position, long id) {
        imc_met=Spinner.getSelectedItem().toString();
        }
    }

Answer 4

Use:

imc_met=Spinner.getSelectedItem().toString();

Instead:

imc_met = parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString();

Updated:

Seem you assigning Listener to your spinner not in correct way, do something like below:

spin.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
                    int arg2, long arg3) {
                String imc_met=spin.getSelectedItem().toString();

            }

            @Override
            public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }
        });

Answer 5

Try this code in your onCreate() method:

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

Answer 6

int position = Arrays.asList(getResources().getStringArray(R.array.country_value_array)).indexOf(address.getCountry());

This will get index by the value.
