How to get the spinner's id on the onItemSelected method?

Question

My problem is : I want to have 3 different spinners, that displays the same type of object, and I want to be able to identify from which spinner I get the data, for example : In spinner 1, the user selected "potato" In spinner 2, the user selected "tomato" In spinner 3, the user selected "fries"

But I can only get "the user selected [...]", since I don't know how to tell from which spinner I got the data.

I was wondering if there was a way to do that on the onItemSelected(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) method ?

Answer 1

Probably you have set a common listener for all the spinners, so you can distinguish which spinner was selected by checking parent.getId():

@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
    switch (parent.getId()){
        case R.id.spinner1:
            //your code here
            break;
        case R.id.spinner2:
            //your code here
            break;
        case R.id.spinner3:
            //your code here
            break;
    }
}
