Getting the id of a spinner

I have 2 spinners in an Activity, which take their data from the same Resource (xml string array). Code is like this:

Spinner spinnerFrom = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner_from_to);
Spinner spinnerTo = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner_from_to);

ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(getActivity(),
                R.array.length_from_to, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);

adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinnerFrom.setAdapter(adapter);
spinnerTo.setAdapter(adapter);

But now in the 

public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, 
        int pos, long id) {
}

method, I get the correct values fom the spinners when I test it e.g. with a toast, but couldn't manage to know, from what of these two spinners the value comes from. I tried it with different parent-methods, but didn't help.

May you give me a hint, please?

Thanks much in forward.

You can add an android:tag value to each spinner in the xml. Then use view.getTag() to in the onItemSelected() to get tag, enabling you to see from which one it was called.

You seem to have same id for both the ‍spinners R.id.spinner_from_to‍‍. Anyway... In order to get id of the spinner you can use

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

    int id = parent.getId();
}

You could simply use view.getId().

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

    int id = parent.getId();
}

And with regard to the ID you've gotten decide what each item should do.
