Spinner with Key-Value Pair

Question

I am working on multi languages UI. My requirement is in spinner I want to show data in Hindi but when it will be selected it should return english show it can compare to further decision making. Just like tag with tag.

My java code is something like this

    HashMap<String,String> options=new HashMap<String,String>();
    String optionsEnglish [] = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.option_array);
    String optinsHindi[]= getResources().getStringArray(R.array.option_array_hindi);

    for(int i=0;i<optionsEnglish.length;i++)
    {
        options.put(optionsEnglish[i], optinsHindi[i]);
    }
    Spinner optionSpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.optionPicker);


    ArrayAdapter<HashMap<String, String>> dataAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<HashMap<String,String>>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
    dataAdapter.add(options);


    dataAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
    optionSpinner.setAdapter(dataAdapter);

In xml

    <resource>       
            <string-array name="option_array">
                  <item>Market</item>
                  <item>Commodity</item>
            </string-array>

            <string-array name="option_array_hindi">
                  <item>बाजार</item>
                  <item>वस्तु</item>


            </string-array>

     </resources>

Hope this can help you

Add Data in in Spinner

private void setDataInSpinner(Spinner id, int dataArray) {
        ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
                this, dataArray, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
        adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
        id.setAdapter(adapter);
    }

To get the selected value of Spinner use this

Spinner mySpinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner);
String Text = mySpinner.getSelectedItem().toString();

Or You can use setOnItemSelectedListener to get the selected values

String value = GetClassCode.getCode(Text);//here u have to pass the value that is selected on the spinner

Create a Class

public class GetClassCode {
    static HashMap<String, String> codeHash = new HashMap<String, String>();

    static {
        init();
    }

    public static void init() {
        codeHash.put("key", "value");
        codeHash.put("key", "value");
        codeHash.put("key", "value");
        codeHash.put("key", "value");

    }

    public static String getCode(String param) {
        return codeHash.get(param);
    }
}
