        .........
 />

        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
        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,
