How to get spinner value without tag

Question

I'm using the spinner, and I want to get the text selected for the user so I'm using

String datacat = categorySpinner.getSelectedItem().toString()

the problem is that this sentence also return the tag of the spinner in a String like this: {supplier=VITA}, but I need to get only the VITA value

Assuming selectedview is EditText.

String datacat =((EditText) categorySpinner.getSelectedView()).getText().toString();

getText is nos a valid method for getSelectedView or getSelectedItem – Pedro Teran Mar 01 '12 at 21:39
see my updated answer. Again, assuming your view is EditText, otherwise you will get ClassCastException. – kosa Mar 01 '12 at 21:45

try

String datacat = categorySpinner.getSelectedView().getText().toString()

you may have to cast the view before you can call getText()
