OnItemListener for Spinner without a button

Question

my question is the following: I have a StartActivity, where the user can find a spinner and can choose from a list of options I have in an array. I want that the user can choose and then it jumps to another acitivity, for example the user chooses "Wien Simmering" and then the Simmering.java opens.

package at.co.ccc.mondel;

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Spinner;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class StartingPoint extends ActionBarActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.comboCasino);
        ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.comboCasino, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
        adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
    }

    @Override
        public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()) {
        // action with ID action_refresh was selected
        case R.id.action_refresh:
        Toast.makeText(this, R.string.refreshed, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        break;
        // action with ID action_settings was selected
        case R.id.action_settings:
        Toast.makeText(this, R.string.settings_clicked, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        break;
        default:
        break;
        }
        return true;
      } 

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.starting_point, menu);
        return true;
    }
}

And here is the strings xml:

<string-array name="comboCasino">
    <item>Wien Simmering</item>
    <item>Wien Lugner City</item>
    <item>Gmunden</item>
    <item>Salzburg</item>
    <item>Linz</item>
    <item>Saalbach</item>
    <item>Innsbruck</item>
    <item>Reutte</item>
    <item>Bregenz</item>
    <item>Kufstein</item>
    <item>Bratislava</item>
</string-array>
