How to validate a spinner in android

[Satchidananda Mohanty]

Hello,

I want to validate a spinner value. But I do not want to select or click on the spinner. My code is like this.

 Spinner s = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.poltype);
                s.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener(){

                @Override
                public void onItemSelected(AdapterView adapter, View v, int i, long lng) {
                    pol_type =  adapter.getItemAtPosition(i).toString();
                   
                }
                @Override
                public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView arg0) {
                    Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this,"Please Select the policy type !!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    return;
                }
                });
                
                if(pol_type.equalsIgnoreCase("Choose policy") || pol_type.equals("")){
                    Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this,Please Select the policy type !!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG) .show();
                    return;
                }

This code does not work, Please suggest any solution if you have.

Thanks in advance.

Found the solution.

 Spinner poltype = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.poltype);
                String st =poltype.getSelectedItem().toString();
                int pos =poltype.getSelectedItemPosition();
                if(pos!=0)
                {
                	pol_type = poltype.getSelectedItem().toString();
                }
                else{
                	 Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this,
                             "Please Select the policy type !!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                             .show();
                     return;
       } 
                if(!st.equals("Choose policy"))
                {
                	pol_type = poltype.getSelectedItem().toString();
                               }
                               else{
                            	   Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this,
                                           "Please Select the policy type !!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                                           .show();
                                   return;
                      }
