Checking if spinner is selected and having null value in Android

Question

I want to check first if spinner has null values based on the following:

String Name= spinnerName.getSelectedItem().toString();
if(Name != null) {     
} els         


        

Answer 1

Do not add toString(). If you add toString() it tries to convert null to String, then it throws Exception.

if(spinnerName.getSelectedItem() !=null ) {
   name = spinnerName.getSelectedItem().toString();
}
