getPosition(item) from ArrayAdapter<String> gives NullPointerException

I tried to search for my problem, but without success. I am filling ArrayAdapter<String> parkingLotAdapter from database(Parse.com). I assign this adapter to spinner. Spinner works fine, show list of items. But when I try to get position one of the item in the Adapter via getPosition(item) I get NullPointerException.

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

for (ParseObject temp : parkingList) {
     list.add(temp.getString("parking_lot"));
     }
parkingLotAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, list);
parkingLotAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
parkinglotSpinner.setAdapter(parkingLotAdapter);

int pos4 = parkingLotAdapter.getPosition("A123");
parkinglotSpinner.setSelection(pos4);

When I use getPosition(item) with other spinners which I populate from Resources and use ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>, everything works good. Can you help me with this issue.

Try this way,hope this will help you to solve your problem.

You have already list object to try to get index from list instead of adapter.

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

Replace this code:
int pos4 = parkingLotAdapter.getPosition("A123");
parkinglotSpinner.setSelection(pos4);

With this:
parkinglotSpinner.setSelection(list.indexOf("A123"))
