Answer 1

try this you can use TextView.append() method.

Convenience method to append the specified text slice to the TextView's display buffer, upgrading it to EDITABLE if it was not already editable.

sample code

textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
    @Override
    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView, View selectedItemView, int position, long id) {
        String s=destspin1.getSelectedItem().toString();
        textView.append(s);

      /* or try this
       String str=textView.getText().toString().trim();
       textView.setText(str+s);*/
    }

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

});

Answer 2

I have create a full code for you just apply

XML

<?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:id="@+id/activity_test_code"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    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="com.ncrypted.thumbpin.TestCode">

    <Spinner
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:id="@+id/spinner"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />


    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:text="dsasas"
        android:textColor="@color/black"
        android:textSize="20dp" />
</LinearLayout>

JAVA

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.TextView;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class TestCode extends AppCompatActivity {

    Spinner spinner;
    TextView textView;


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

        textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
        spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);

        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, new String[]{"String 1", "String 2", "String 3", "String 4", "String 5"});
        spinner.setAdapter(adapter);

        spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView, View selectedItemView, int position, long id) {
                String s = spinner.getSelectedItem().toString();
                textView.append(s);
            }

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

        });

    }
}

NOTE: if you want to add particular item at only once than you should have to use ArrayList to store selected items in to array list and loop the array and check the item is already added or not
