        ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
                this, R.array.countries_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
        adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
        spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener());

        Button myButton =(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
        myButton.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
            	
            Spinner sp =	(Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner);
            String spinnerString = null;
            spinnerString = sp.getSelectedItem().toString();
            int nPos = sp.getSelectedItemPosition();
            
             
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "getSelectedItem=" + spinnerString,
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "getSelectedItemPosition=" + nPos,
                		Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }

Create file restartADB.bat in folder
c:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\
Write into restartADB.bat this code:

adb kill-server && adb start-server
pause

Save restartADB.bat file.
If you want restart adb.exe server, run restartADB.bat by double click on icon.


Next example:

1. Open Total Commander


2. Open folder with adb.exe usually in
   c:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\


3. Put into command line command: adb kill-server && adb start-server and press Enter

[caption id="attachment_778" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="ADB server restart by command line"][/caption]

Try restart ADB if this or similar errors:
Emulator] emulator: emulator window was out of view and was recentred

If You have old PC (Android in emulator with high screen resolution uses a lot of memory) or your testing phone have small screen, You can try this trick.
Rename layout folder for small device screen f.g. from layout into layout-swXXXdp and a large layout-sw600dp into layout.
Your phone with small screnn will do select xml file from renamed layout folder (for small screen).
You can to testing rotation with device en stability of fragments if an application changed orientation.
If you have old pc, you can try to make a new virtual device running on older version of Android, which uses less memory of computer.
For testing of rotation stability - application orientation changed - use on emulator Ctrl+F11, Ctrl+F12 key (Windows).

Important
Before the release of application, you have to rename layout folder to older name layout-sw600dp and layout-swXXXdp to layout.
