Spinner onClick listener

Question

I would like to call an action every time my spinner selects a new item. The current setup is that an action is called when a button is pressed.

My approach:

Create a new function: public void onSpinnerItemSelection(View V){...}

Then in content_home.xml I would add onSpinnerItemSelection to onClick for Spinner.

This isn't working. I'm not familiar with Android errors and I'm struggling to interpret these errors.

Unfortunately, myApp has stopped

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Don't call setOnClickListener for an AdapterView. You probably want setOnItemClickListener instead

I would use `onItemSelected` instead. http://stackoverflow.com/a/15064634/2308683 — OneCricketeer, Jan 24 '16 at 01:38

Step by step:

1ªDeclare variables from the layoutSpinner sp; the arraylist in this case ArrayList listTeams; and the adapter Adapter adapter;

2ªinstances

private void instances() {

    sp = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
    listaTeam = new ArrayList();

3º add items for the adapter

private void listAdapter() {

    listaTeam.add(new Equipo(R.string.Atleti));
    adaptador = new Adaptador(MainActivity.this, listaEquipo);
    sp.setAdapter(adapter);

now we make actions, use onItemSelected.

public void onItemSelected(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) {

    Toast.makeText("this is my team", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

Here is an example:

mSpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() 
{
    @Override
    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView, View selectedItemView, int position, long id) 
    {
        Toast.makeText("log", "position = " position, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

    @Override
    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView) 
    {
        Toast.makeText("log", "onNothingSelected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
});
