Answer 1

Use the below

if (tipe.equals("item2")){ // .equals to compare strings  
   edittext.setVisibiluty(View.INVISIBLE); //set the visibility
}

Use the below according to your needs

visible   0  Visible on screen; the default value.
invisible 1  Not displayed, but taken into account during layout (space is left for it).
gone      2  Completely hidden, as if the view had not been added.

Answer 2

use equals() method for comparing of Two String. It will check the content of the String

String tipe = spiner.getSelectedItem().toString();
if (tipe.equals("item2")){
// do what u want here
}
