I'm new to Android and I'm trying to get a String from spinner. I've made some research but I couldn't find anything useful. Without trying to get String the code is working properly. This is the code which is working:
assert staticSpinner2 != null;
staticSpinner2.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
String spinnerLanguage2 = staticSpinner2.getSelectedItem().toString();
}
public String getSpin(String spinnerLanguage2) {
return spinnerLanguage2;
}
@Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
}
});
I tried to use a getter method as follows where I didn't get any errors:
assert staticSpinner2 != null;
staticSpinner2.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
String spinnerLanguage2 = staticSpinner2.getSelectedItem().toString();
}
public String getSpinnerString(String spinnerLanguage2) {
return spinnerLanguage2;
}
@Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
}
});
I'm trying to set this String to a text view using:
assert staticSpinner2 != null;
staticSpinner2.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
String spinnerLanguage2 = staticSpinner2.getSelectedItem().toString();
}
public String getSpinnerString(String spinnerLanguage2) {
return spinnerLanguage2;
}
@Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
}
});
MainActivityClassName AnObject = new MainActivityClassName();
text.setText(AnObject.getSpinnerString());
Where I get an error saying "cannot resolve method getSpin()". I do realise I'm not passing any parameters to the method but I don't know how I can do it here. I appreciate any help or any other advice to solve the problem in a different way. Thanks in advance.
This is the full code if that helps:

TextView text;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_json);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
// spinner 1
final Spinner staticSpinner1 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
// Create an ArrayAdapter using the string array and a default spinner
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> staticAdapter1 = ArrayAdapter
.createFromResource(this, R.array.lang,
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
// Specify the layout to use when the list of choices appears
staticAdapter1
.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
// Apply the adapter to the spinner
staticSpinner1.setAdapter(staticAdapter1);
// spinner 2
final Spinner staticSpinner2 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner2);
staticSpinner1.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
int arg2, long arg3) {
String spinnerLanguage = staticSpinner1.getSelectedItem().toString();
