Error grabbing the selected item in a Spinner and showing in a Toast

Question

I’m new on android and would like to know where is the error here. I’m trying to display list data with a Spinner component.

So is the Activity:

package sucesso.com.br.testecomponentes;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Spinner;
import android.widget.Toast;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

private Spinner cidade;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    cidade = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.cidades);
    final ArrayList<String> cidades = new ArrayList<>();
    cidades.add("Selecione");
    cidades.add("São Paulo");
    cidades.add("Rio de Janeiro");

    cidades.add("Campinas");

    cidades.add("Salvador <3");
    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, cidades );
    cidade.setAdapter(adapter);

    cidade.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            String nome = cidades.get(position);
            Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), nome, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });

}
}

And the xml is like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="sucesso.com.br.testecomponentes.MainActivity">

<Spinner
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="107dp"
    android:id="@+id/cidades"/>

</LinearLayout>

Could someone tell me why?

Answer 1

setOnItemClickListener cannot be used in Spinner

Use setOnItemSelectedListener in place

Example:

cidade.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                String nome = cidades.get(position);
                Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), nome, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

            @Override
            public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {

            }
        });
