I have a spinner. I want to get the value of the item selected and search the index of that value in another array. This is what I have tried so far. s1 is the spinner. weapons is the array in which I want to search the value of the selected item in spinner s1
String[] weaponone = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.weapons);
for (String s : weaponone) {
int i = s.indexOf(s1.getSelectedItem().toString());
switch (i) {
case (0):
ok i got you situation ... in your case no need to use foreach loop focus on following example .. at first take a arrays.xml file under res/values folder
and declare weapons array like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string-array name="weapons">
<item>a</item>
<item>b</item>
<item>c</item>
</string-array>
</resources>
and your java code look like this
String[] weaponone = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.weapons);
int i= Arrays.asList(weaponone).indexOf("b"); //i=1 for b, for a i=0 and for c i=2,if not found then i=-1
switch (i) {
case (0):
// implement your code
break;
case (1):
// implement your code
break;
case (2):
// implement your code
break;
.................................
case (-1):// when not matching
// implement your code
break;
}
i hope it will help you.
