I am developing a translate app on Android Studio. I have created my Language Key and Value using Map, I want to pass the value of key selected by the user to URL. for example if the user selects French from Spinner, "fr" should be pass to url for translate. how can I achieve this? below is my Java Activity Code. I am using the latest Android Studio.

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

    final Map<String, String> flanguages = new HashMap<String, String>();
    flanguages.put("Arabic", "ar");
    flanguages.put("English", "en");
    flanguages.put("French", "fr");
    flanguages.put("Hausa", "ha");
    flanguages.put("Igbo", "ig");
    flanguages.put("Yoruba", "yo");
    flanguages.put("Japanese", "ja");

     final List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(flanguages.keySet());


    final ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, list);
    spinner.setPrompt("Select Language To Translate");
    arrayAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
    spinner.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);


    spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

            spinner.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();

        }

        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {

        }
    });

In your onItemSelected callback

String key = list.get(position);
String countryCode = flanguages.get(key);

countryCode is what you need

spinner.getItemAtPosition(position).toString(); //returns country Full-name

This line gives your the selected item i.e the country name but not its abbreviation. To get the abbreviation to use the HashMap(use the Key to get the Value).Ex: Here key is "France" and its value is "fr"

 spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
    @Override
    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

        String key = spinner.getItemAtPosition(position).toString(); //ex: this gives France
       // String key = list.get(position); // or use can use this,//ex: this also gives France

        String countryCode = flanguages.get(key); //ex: this gives "fr"
        //api integration

    }

    @Override
    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {

    }
});
