how to check if the user chose a choice in a spinner

I have a spinner that opens programaticly, and when the user chose an option from the spinner, it closes... is there a way to be notified, or a listener that tells you, when the user chose his choice? the onItemSelected gets the default item that is chosen automaticly when the spinner is open.

set setOnItemSelectedListener to your spinner...

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                    int position, long id) {

                    Object obj = (Object) parent.getSelectedItem();
            //get clicked position from position    
            }

            @Override
            public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {

            //this method is call when nothing choosed by you   

            }
        });

I am not sure if I understand your question correctly but let me try to answer it. The normal and straight forward way would be to add an OnItemSelectedListener to the spinner i.e 

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener(){
    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) {
        // Do whatever you want here    
    }

    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView parent) {
        // Do nothing.
    }
});

but this is such a basic thing that I feel like a fool for pointing it out. Anyway here is a tutorial on spinner from Android Developer resources. It creates the listener in step 5 and adds it to spinner on step 6.
