How do I get the selected text from custom spinner?

How do I get the selected text from a custom spinner?

I have spinner contains name Raju and Rani; if I select "Raju," then "Raju" has to print and if I select "Rani," then "Rani" has to print.

spinnerName = (Spinner)m_view.findViewById(R.id.spinner_name);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapterName = new ArrayAdapter<String>(MainActivity.this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item) {

                @Override
                public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

                    View v = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
                    if (position == getCount()) {
                        ((TextView)v.findViewById(android.R.id.text1)).setText("");
                        ((TextView)v.findViewById(android.R.id.text1)).setHint(getItem(getCount()));



                          String  spinnertext = spinnerCity.getSelectedItem().toString();   
                        System.out.println("spinner" +spinnertext);


                    }

                    return v;
                }       

                @Override
                public int getCount() {
                    return super.getCount()-1; // you dont display last item. It is used as hint.
                }

            };



            adapterCity.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
            adapterCity.add("Raju");
            adapterCity.add("Rani");             
            adapterCity.add("name"); //This is the text that will be displayed as hint.
                spinnerName.setAdapter(adapterName);
        spinnerName.setSelection(adapterName.getCount());

i think you already populate your spinner . now write this code for get selected text from spinner

spinnerName.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
                    int arg2, long arg3) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                String text = spinnerName.getSelectedItem().toString();
            }
}

text contain selected text .. now you can use it as your logic. hope it works ...

Make use on setOnItemSelectedListener. It will return you the selected item of the spinner

Example

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this); 
... 
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos,long id) { 
Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), "OnItemSelectedListener : " + parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); 
}
