Initially i stored some values in String[] names. when activity is run spinner position 0(zero)is selected by default. Check my code below:

ArrayAdapter arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.spinner_style, names); spinner.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);

spinner.getSelectedItemPosition();//which returns names[0] initially.

if click other position(i) it returns names[i], where i =0,1,2,..
