How to get Spinner value?

Question

Is it be possible in the Android Hello, Spinner example to get the selected Spinner value with a listener, like for the other examples -- or do you need to subclass Spinner?

Answer 1

Yes, you can register a listener via setOnItemSelectedListener(), as is demonstrated here.

Answer 2

The Spinner should fire an "OnItemSelected" event when something is selected:

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) {
        Object item = parent.getItemAtPosition(pos);
    }
    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
    }
});
