Answer 1

Yes, you can have multiple spinner’s that can be managed by single listener or you can have seperate Listener for each.

For Single Listener you can do something like this,

Set the Listener

spinner1.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
spinner2.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

Then you can use onItemSelected to get perform the action related to the spinner’s.

    @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                                                      int position,long arg3) 
        {
        int id = parent.getId();
        switch (id) 
        {
                case R.id.spinner1:
                // your stuff here
                break;
            case R.id.spinner2:
               // your stuff here
            break;
        }
