Spinner is an android UI element; it provides a drop-down List where you can choose an item from the list.

You will need a listener to catch the selected item and do the functions you need according to the selection

Here is the setOnItemSelectedListener code

you must put this code in your onCreate method of your java class


Spinner spinner= findViewById(R.id.spinner); //initialize your spinner first

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
            //this method is fired when an item is selected
            String item =  adapterView.getItemAtPosition(i).toString();
            
                Toast.makeText(adapterView.getContext(),
                        item,
                        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                
               
            }

            @Override
            public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> adapterView) {

            }
        });
