Android: how get ID of an item selected in a spinner?

I have this private method to render a spinner in a fragment:

private void renderSpinner() {

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

        for (int i = 0; i<mPromotionList.size(); i++) {

            ModelPromotion modelPromotion = (ModelPromotion) mPromotionList.get(i);
            String name_promotion = modelPromotion.getName();
            int id_promotion = modelPromotion.getIdPromotion();
            spinnerArray.add(name_promotion);
        }

        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(mBaseApp, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, spinnerArray);

        adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        mSpinnerPromotion.setAdapter(adapter);

        mSpinnerPromotion.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent,
                                       View view, int pos, long id) {
                String name_promotion_selected = parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString();
                //TODO REMOVE
                Log.d(LOGTAG, "Il nome della promo selezionata è " + name_promotion_selected);
            }

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

            }
        });

    }

As you can see, I have "ready" the id_promotion (It's the real value that I need)... And I know that I'm not adding (for now) at the List.

How I can get it, inside the onItemSelected?

Thank you very much

You can use the position of the selected item and use that to get the ID from the original list. 

((ModelPromotion) mPromotionList.get(pos)).getIdPromotion()

Another option is to create a custom ArrayAdapter subclass that will accept ModelPromotion instead of String and override getItemId to return the idPromotion

An example about custom ArrayAdapter on Github.
