static final String[] LANGUAGE = new String[]
     {
        "English","Urdu","French","Spanish"

     };

Spinner ddltimezone=(Spinner)findViewById(R.id.ddlTimeZone);

 ArrayAdapter<String> adapter_time = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,TIME_ZONE); 
             adapter_time.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); 
             ddltimezone.setAdapter(adapter_time);


int indexlanguage = ddllanguage.getSelectedItemPosition() + 1;

and thats it. we have property of getting selecteditem position which sovled my problem.
