Getting value of choosed option in Spinner

Question

I want to get value of choosed option in Spinner. I know, I can get this from setOnItemSelectedListener, but I don't want to use this. I have this:

String spinner1odp  = spinnerSubject.getSelectedItem().toString();

But result of this code is: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCursor@40f828e8. I want to get String, not something like that :/

@LalitPoptani whatever method OP may use to fill spinner but if is spinner display the correct value (string) then should nothing wrong with his code — Kalpesh Lakhani, Nov 01 '12 at 12:39

I think you are popping up Spinner from database. So considering that you will have to get the selected index first and fetch the required data from the Cursor:

Code Snippet :

int position = mySpinner.getSelectedItemPosition(); 
Cursor cursor = (Cursor) myAdapter.getItem(position);
String myText = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(KEY_NAME));

its not mandatory to register the listener to get the selected value. – Lalit Poptani Nov 01 '12 at 12:04

By using this code you can get...

String value= (String)spinnerSubject.getItemAtPosition(spinnerSubject.getSelectedItemPosition());
