            }

----------------->      if(spinner.getSelectedItem().toString().equals("Post to personal directory & FB")){
        Bundle params = new Bundle();
        params.putString("message",finalMessage.toString() );
        publishStory(params,comments);

    }else {
         try {
                new FBUtils(activity).sharePlaces(attractionData, comments, null);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Log.e(TAG,"sharePlaces error ",e);
            }
    }
        }

        private void publishStory(Bundle postParams,final String comments,final String choose) {
            Session session = Session.getActiveSession();

            if (session != null){
        List<String> permissions = session.getPermissions();
                    if (!isSubsetOf(PERMISSIONS, permissions)) {
                        Session.NewPermissionsRequest newPermissionsRequest = new Session
                                .NewPermissionsRequest(this, PERMISSIONS);
                    session.requestNewPublishPermissions(newPermissionsRequest);

                    }
                    Request.Callback callbackRequest= new Request.Callback() {
                        public void onCompleted(Response response) {
                            if (response == null || response.equals("")
                                    || response.equals("false")) {
                                showToast("Blank response.");
                            } else  


                                new fbUtils(activity).share(Data, comments, response.getError(),choose);
                            } catch (Exception e) {
                                Log.e(TAG,"sharePlaces error ",e);
                            }
                            }

                    };
                    Request request = new Request(session, Constants.fb.fbId + "/comments", postParams, 
                                          HttpMethod.POST, callbackRequest);

                    RequestAsyncTask task = new RequestAsyncTask(request);
                    task.execute();


                }

the issue is the post() is not executing when clicking the dailogbutton its going into else part, i want to execute the if condition in post() method, Any help is appreciated

As you are getting the value from the spinner. The value may not be updated one .

You should use item-selected listeners.

String result=””;

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
                @Override
               public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent,
        View view, int pos, long id) {
      Toast.makeText(parent.getContext()), "The planet is " +
          parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
// Your variable should update here 
result = parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString();
    }



                @Override
                public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView) {
                    // your code here
                }

            });

Now use that value in onPost method as:

private void post(String comments, String choose) throws Exception{

            StringBuffer finalMessage = new StringBuffer("\nRecomends " + Data.getfName());
            if(Data.getAddress() != null && !Data.getAddress().isEmpty()){
                finalMessage.append("\n" + Data.getAddress());
            }
Log.v("TEST",spinner.getSelectedItem().toString());
----------------->      if(result.equals("Post to personal directory & FB")){
        Bundle params = new Bundle();
        params.putString("message",finalMessage.toString() );
        publishStory(params,comments);

    }else {
         try {
                new FBUtils(activity).sharePlaces(attractionData, comments, null);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Log.e(TAG,"sharePlaces error ",e);
            }
    }
        }
