error help! syntax and OnItemSelectedListener

OK, so I'm pretty new to this, but I'm getting it. I just ran into this error and I have seen other people have had the same problem, but the standard fix (clean) doesn't work for me. I have no clue how to fix these errors! HELP PLEASE!

first error:

on sp2.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() { in my else if statement I keep geting this error:

The type new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener(){} must implement the inherited abstract method AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener.onNothingSelected(AdapterView)

I have the onNothingSelected there, and it works in my if statement, I mean all I did was copy and paste and edit.

second error:

on }); at the end of my else if statement i get the error:

Syntax error, insert ";" to complete Statement

but everything is there. the statement is completed!

sp1.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

    public void onItemSelecteds(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
            int arg2, long arg3) {


             String reg_select = (sp1.getSelectedItem().toString());
                 if (reg_select.contentEquals("Southwest")){
                     sp2.setAdapter(sw_cit_adp); 
                     sp2.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

                            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
                                    int arg2, long arg3) {
                                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                             String sw_cit_select = (sp2.getSelectedItem().toString());
                             if (sw_cit_select.contentEquals("Lake Charles")){
                                 sp3.setAdapter(sw_lake_charles_adp); }

                             else if (sw_cit_select.contentEquals("Iowa")){
                                 sp3.setAdapter(sw_iowa_adp); }


                            ;}

                            public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
                                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                            };});}

                 else if (reg_select.contentEquals("South Central")){
                         sp2.setAdapter(sc_cit_adp); 
                         sp2.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

                                public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
                                        int arg2, long arg3) {
                                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                                 String sc_cit_select = (sp2.getSelectedItem().toString());
                                 if (sc_cit_select.contentEquals("Lafayette")){
                                     sp3.setAdapter(sc_lafayette_adp); }

                                 else if (sc_cit_select.contentEquals("Gueydan")){
                                     sp3.setAdapter(sc_gueydan_adp); }


                                ;}
                                public void onNothingSelected(
                                        AdapterView<?> arg0) {
                                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                                }



                                ;
                               });
                         }

You have that method in the wrong place. You can't have an item selected and nto select anything, that's non-sensical.

You need to put the method under the listener, like the onItemSelected, but not inside onItemSelected.

This is what it should (basically) look like:

    spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
        }

        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                int pos, long id) {
        // Your code to do something with the selected item
        }
    });

Oh, and you need to use the exact method name... it's onItemSelected not onItemSelecteds
