    private ArrayList<String> itemsList;
    private Spinner spinner;
    private String contry_name;

        ArrayAdapter<String> dataAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,itemsList);
        dataAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        spinner.setAdapter(dataAdapter);

        contry_name=String.valueOf(spinner.getSelectedItem());
        System.out.println(contry_name);


        tts = new TextToSpeech(this, this);
        btnSpeak = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSpeak);
        txtText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtText);

        // button on click event
        btnSpeak.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                speakOut();
            }

        });
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        // Don't forget to shutdown tts!
        if (tts != null) {
            tts.stop();
            tts.shutdown();
        }
        super.onDestroy();
    }

    public void onInit(int status) {

        if (status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {

            int result = tts.setLanguage(Locale.);

I have some problems. First in the spinner before I make any selection when running the application I see all the items like this: [en, en_AU, en_BE ,en_BW…and so on. I want that when i click the arrow down of the spinner I will see all the items in a row one by one and when I select one of them it will be use as LOCALE

So I need to fix this somehow.

Second thing is how do I use the contry_name string when selecting item in the int result = tts.setLanguage(Locale.); ?

Now its: int result = tts.setLanguage(Locale.ENGLISH); but instead ENGLISH I want it to be the selected item from the spinner.

package com.sample;

    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.widget.AdapterView;
    import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
    import android.widget.Spinner;
    import android.widget.TextView;

    public class SpinnerDemo Activity implements
            AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener {
        TextView selection;
        String[] items = { "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6","7", "8", "9", "10" };

        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
            super.onCreate(icicle);
            setContentView(R.layout.main);
            selection = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.selection);

            Spinner spin = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
            spin.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

            ArrayAdapter aa = new ArrayAdapter(
                    this,
                    android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, 
                    items);

            aa.setDropDownViewResource(
               android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
            spin.setAdapter(aa);
        }

        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, int position,
                long id) {
            selection.setText(items[position]);
        }

        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
            selection.setText("");
