Question

I have an Activity with multiple Spinners in it (around 8-9). The code that I am using is as follows:

Spinner sp1, sp2, sp3, sp4, sp5;
sp1 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
sp2 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner2);
sp3 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner3);
sp4 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner4);
sp5 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner5);

sp1.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
sp2.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
sp3.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
sp4.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
sp5.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

//Outside onCreate I'm using the following to handle the spinner Item Selected event.

@override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
        long arg3) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    switch (arg0.getId()) {
    case R.id.spinner1:
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), arg0.getItemAtPosition(arg2).toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        break;
    case R.id.spinner2:
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), arg0.getItemAtPosition(arg2).toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();         
        break;
    case R.id.spinner3:
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), arg0.getItemAtPosition(arg2).toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        break;
    case R.id.spinner4:
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), arg0.getItemAtPosition(arg2).toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        break;
    case R.id.spinner5:
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), arg0.getItemAtPosition(arg2).toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        break;
    }
}

@Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

But the problem is I’m not getting any Toast on selecting the item in any of the spinners. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

        }

        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }
    };
