Question

I am working on my first ever android app, and I’m creating basic exercise/calorie counter. I have two spinners, one for the selected type of exercise, and one for the time spent preforming said exercise in minutes. I need to be able to check the value/position of both spinners so I can do something like this:

PSUEDO CODE:

if(Exercise spinner = "push-ups")
{
     CaloriesBurned = TimeSpinnerValue*450
}
if(Exercise spinner = "sit-up")
{
   CaloriesBurned = TimeSpinnerValue*350
}

etc . . . nothing fancy. My spinners are populated from a String Array in my String.xml. But I dont know how get the value of the spinner so I can use it in some IF statements in my java code.

Answer 1

use like this for compair any string with your spinner.

spinner.equals("push-ups");
