I am trying to get the selected items string out of a Spinner
. So far I have gotten this:
bundle.putString(ListDbAdapter.DB_PRI, v.getText().toString());
This does not work and gives a class casting exception (I thought I could cast a View
to a widget that inherits it. Obviously not!) So how do you get the selected value of a Spinner
?

To get the selected value of a spinner you can follow this example.
Create a nested class that implements AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener. This will provide a callback method that will notify your application when an item has been selected from the Spinner.
Within “onItemSelected” method of that class, you can get the selected item:
public class YourItemSelectedListener implements OnItemSelectedListener { public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) { String selected = parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString(); } public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView parent) { // Do nothing. } }
Finally, your ItemSelectedListener needs to be registered in the Spinner:
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener());
