How do you add Spinner selection data to a database in Android and then recall it again?

Question

I am currently using Google's Notepad Tutorial as a base, and trying to add spinners in addition to the already existing edittext fields. I want to allow the user to select an item from the spinner and have that option saved in the corresponding database entry. Then when the user opens that record at a later time, the spinner needs to be set to the value that is stored in the database. I understand how to do this with EditText, but cannot accomplash the same thing with the spinners. Any help would be appreciated.
