How could we pass a different value on an Item select from android spinner than the text which we select in spinner? [closed]

Answer 1

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
       public void onItemSelected(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) {
         int pos = spinner.getSelectedItemPosition();
String mysourcestring= yourarraylistname[+pos];
String substr=mysourcestring.substring(0,3).toUpperCase();
}
 @Override
       public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView parent) {

      }
});

now the value you want to pass will be in substr. sorry if any errors, hope this helps
