Fragment and strings.xml are here ---

 public class NewCustomerFragment extends Fragment {
    EditText customerDobEditText;
    SimpleDateFormat sdf;
    Spinner sp;
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
   DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener d = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
    @Override

    public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {

        calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR,year);

        calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH,monthOfYear);

        calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,dayOfMonth);

        updateDate();
    }
};
public void updateDate(){
    String myFormat="yyyy/MM/dd";
    sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(myFormat, Locale.US);
    customerDobEditText.setText(sdf.format(calendar.getTime()));

public static NewCustomerFragment newInstance() {
    NewCustomerFragment fragment = new NewCustomerFragment();
    return fragment;
}

public NewCustomerFragment() {  }

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}


@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_new_customer, container, false);

    sp = (Spinner) v.findViewById(R.id.country_code);
    sp.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {

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

            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), sp.getSelectedItem().toString(),
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

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

        }

    });
    return v;
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_new_customer, container, false);
    return v;
}

@Override
public void onActivityCreated(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

    sp = (Spinner) getView().findViewById(R.id.country_code);
    String values[] = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.country_code);
    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter= new ArrayAdapter<String>(this.getActivity(), android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, values);
    adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line);
    sp.setAdapter(adapter);
    sp.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {

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

            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), sp.getSelectedItem().toString(),
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

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

        }

    });

}

Try this way, I hope this will solve your problem

Update

You can set data from your xml also..

<Spinner
    android:id="@+id/country_code"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:entries="@array/country_code" />

And remove adapter from your code...

@Override
public void onActivityCreated(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

    sp = (Spinner) getView().findViewById(R.id.country_code);

    sp.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {

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

            Toast.makeText(getActivity(), sp.getSelectedItem().toString(),
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

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

        }

    });

}

Answer 2

Try creating an adapter and then setting the spinner to use that adapter. Just quickly looking through the developer guide you could use:

Spinner spinner = (Spinner)v.findItemById(R.id.country_code); // *
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this,
    R.array.country_code, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item); // **
    // Specify the layout to use when the list of choices appears
    adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
    // Apply the adapter to the spinner
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);

*Consider changing the vaules of both the spinner xml object and the array object to be different names to avoid confusion. **create a simple spinner item i.e. what one item on the spinner list would look like.

Hope this helps.
