    <p>I'm working on an app that helps a rental business. I have a spinner that pulls in it's content from an array...</p> <p>From datalist.xml :</p> <pre><code>&lt;string-array name="dur"&gt; &lt;item&gt;@string/dur1&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;@string/dur2&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;@string/dur3&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;@string/dur4&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;@string/dur5&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;@string/dur6&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;@string/dur7&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;@string/dur8&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;@string/dur9&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;@string/dur10&lt;/item&gt; &lt;item&gt;@string/dur11&lt;/item&gt; &lt;/string-array&gt; </code></pre> <p>strings.xml :</p> <pre><code>&lt;string name="dur1"&gt;Half hour&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string name="dur2"&gt;1 hour&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string name="dur3"&gt;2 hours&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string name="dur4"&gt;3 hours&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string name="dur5"&gt;4 hours&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string name="dur6"&gt;5 hours&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string name="dur7"&gt;6 hours&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string name="dur8"&gt;Over night&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string name="dur9"&gt;24 hours&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string name="dur10"&gt;Week&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string name="dur11"&gt;Month&lt;/string&gt; </code></pre> <p>Spinner code in java :</p> <pre><code>Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinnerDuration); ArrayAdapter &lt;CharSequence&gt; adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.dur, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item); adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); spinner.setAdapter(adapter); spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener( new OnItemSelectedListener() { public void onItemSelected(AdapterView&lt;?&gt; arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) { int index = arg0.getSelectedItemPosition(); // storing string resources into Array dur = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.dur); } public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView&lt;?&gt; arg0) { // do nothing } } ); </code></pre> <p>How can I set it up so when the user selects an option from the spinner it then saves that option as an integer variable, reflecting the hours, which can then be used in other parts of this application?</p> <p>For example...Someone selects "3 hours" and it saves a variable called 'durnumb' as 3. Or someone selects "Week" and it saves the value for durnumb as 168 (24hrs x 7days)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
