One line version   String text     Spinner findViewById R id spinner   getSelectedItem   toString      UPDATE  You can remove casting if you use SDK 26  or newer  to compile your project   String text   findViewById R id spinner  getSelectedItem   toString

For those have HashMap based spinner      HashMap   Spinner findViewById R id YourSpinnerId   getSelectedItem    values   toArray   0  toString      If you are in a Fragment  an Adaptor or a Class other than main activities   use this     HashMap   Spinner YourInflatedLayoutOrView findViewById R id YourSpinnerId   getSelectedItem    values   toArray   0  toString      It s just for guidance  you should find your view s id before onClick method

It also can be achieved in a little safer way using String valueOf   like so  Spinner sp    Spinner  findViewById R id sp id   String selectedText   String valueOf sp getSelectedItem       without crashing the app when all hell breaks loose  The reason behind its safeness is having the capability of dealing with null objects as the argument  The documentation says     if the argument is null  then a string equal to  null   otherwise  the value of obj toString   is returned    So  some insurance there in case of having an empty Spinner for example  which the currently selected item has to be converted to String

For spinners based on a CursorAdapter    get the selected item id  spinner getSelectedItemId   fetch the item name from your database  for example   public String getCountryName int pId       Cursor cur   mDb query TABLE  new String   COL NAME   COL ID       new String   pId      null  null  null       String ret   null      if cur moveToFirst             ret   cur getString 0             cur close        return ret

You have to use the index and the Adapter to find out the text you have   See this example of Spinner  public class MyOnItemSelectedListener implements OnItemSelectedListener        public void onItemSelected AdapterView lt   gt  parent          View view  int pos  long id          Toast makeText parent getContext      The planet is               parent getItemAtPosition pos  toString    Toast LENGTH LONG  show               public void onNothingSelected AdapterView parent             Do nothing
