How to get Spinner selected item value to string?

Question

I have 5 Spinners. In order to make it summary to this.

This is Spinner in xml

<Spinner
            android:id="@+id/text_interested"
            android:layout_span="2"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="60px"
            android:entries="@array/interestedarrays"
            android:prompt="@string/interestedprompt" />

This is Spinner in Java

submitbtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
interested.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
                        public void onItemSelected(
                                AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view,
                                int i, long l) {
                            interesting = interested.getItemAtPosition(i).toString();
                        }

                        public void onNothingSelected(
                                AdapterView<?> adapterView) {

                        }
                    });
    }
});

Explanation here:

The page got a button. This button will read the data from spinner when pressed. I checked the output with this

System.out.println(interested.getItemAtPosition(i).toString());

It gave me nothing not even null.

How to retrieve the value and to string it?

Answer 1

Try this:

String text = mySpinner.getSelectedItem().toString();

Like this you can get value for different Spinners.
