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;
}
