Android Spinner get position of string in code behind

i have a spinner which i catch onClick like that:

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

    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
    }

I want to check if String for example String example = "example" is in the Spinner ItemList and get its position, Is it possible?

Solution

  • with

     spinner.getSelectedItem().toString();

    you can get the Text which is currently selected. with 

    spinner.getSelectedItemPosition();

    you can get the current position. You can compare the selected String like this:

    if(spinner.getSelectedItem().toString().equals("example")){
//do something
};
