Android Studio: Error finding symbol "Spinner"

I've been messing around with Android Studio lately. I tried to make an app to get user input and store it in a database, but it keeps giving me this error:

    error: cannot find symbol
        Spinner spinnerName = findViewById(R.id.nameOfTheDropdown); // It's in my MainActivity Class
                                             ^
  symbol:   variable nameOfTheDropdown
  location: class id

I've been struggling with this for a very long time.

Thanks for your help.

Solution 
  •  Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
