Spinner is not working in android

Spinner is not working. Here is my code:

public class second extends Activity{   
    Spinner spin;
    String[] str;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.second);        
        spin = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spin);
        str = new String[] {"bike","car"};      
        spin.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>(this, android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, str));    

        spin.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapter, View view, int pos,
                long id) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            String data= spin.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString();
            Toast.makeText(second.this, data, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
               }    
        });
    }
}

The only mistake you made is you have set different event listener..

The Listener OnItemClickListener is for ListView..

For Spinner you have to set OnItemSelectedListener ..

Try replacing OnItemClickListener to setOnItemSelectedListener like :

spin.setOnItemSelectedListener (new OnItemSelectedListener() {

    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapter, View view, int pos,
            long id) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        String data= spin.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString();
        Toast.makeText(second.this, data, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

});

Try this one

 spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
 List<String> categories = new ArrayList<String>();
    categories.add("--Qualification--");
    categories.add("High School");
    categories.add("Higher Secondary/PUC");
    categories.add("Diploma");
    categories.add("Degree");
    categories.add("Master Degree");


    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, 
    R.layout.spinnertext, categories);
    adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.select_dialog_item);
    spinner.setAdapter(adapter);

The problem is here, 

 spin.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapter, View view, int pos,
            long id) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        String data= spin.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString();
        Toast.makeText(second.this, data, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

});

Try replacing it as follows,

 spin.OnItemSelectedListener (new OnItemSelectListener() {

    public void onItemSelect(AdapterView<?> adapter, View view, int pos,
            long id) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        String data= spin.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString();
        Toast.makeText(second.this, data, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

});

Here is the problem in your oncreate() method:

spin = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spin);

You assign the result to spinner which is a local variable/reference here. main.spinner class field is still null. This is why you have NullPointerException in calculate() method.

Replace the line above with:

this.spin = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spin);

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String> (this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,androidBooks);
spin.setAdapter(adapter);
