How to set string value to spinner retrieved from Firestore database in android?

Question

I have retrieved the value of gender from the firestore database which is a string.

Now to set this value to the Spinner of the gender so that user can check and update the value on its own.

The retrieved value should show, but I am unable to convert the string value and set it to the spinner in android.

I tried searching for similar examples but no good yet.

    public class EditProfile extends AppCompatActivity {

        private String Fullname, Username, SpinnerC, Gender, DateOfBirth;
        private CircleImageView userImage;
        private Button updateProfileDetails;
        private static final String TAG = "DocSnippets";

        private EditText uFullname,uUsername, uDateOfBirth;
        private Uri mUri;
        private StorageReference storageReference;
        private Spinner uSpinnerC, uGender;
        private String date, tokenId;

        private String mUserId;

        private int REQ_CODE = 100, PERMISSION_CODE = 200;

        private DocumentReference mUserRef;

        private String permissions[] = {
                Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

            mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();

concern is regarding these lines in getUserProfileDetails() method

    uGender.setText(gender);
    uSpinnerC.setText(spinnerC);

Answer 1

You can do that check if your spiner text in male then setSelection 1 or 0 like below

String spinnerC = (String) document.getString("spinnerC");
if (spinnerC.equals("Male")){
  uSpinnerC.setSelection(0);
}else{
  uSpinnerC.setSelection(1); //female case
}
