how to get spinner value in array list

Question

I have this code in which I have a spinner with country names in it.I have declared these names in strings.xml file.Now,what I want is that when user selects a country the value is sent to arraylist and then using post parameter I want to execute an xml file.Here is my code-:

public class AddBank extends Activity implements
AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener{

    EditText et1,et2,et3,et4,et5,et6,et7,et8,et9;
    Spinner spinner1;
    Button add;
    String userpin;
    TextView country;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.addbank);

        Bundle gotuser= getIntent().getExtras();
        userpin= gotuser.getString("username");  

      et1=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);  
      et2=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText2);
      et3=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText3);
      et4=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText4);
      et5=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText5);
      et6=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText6);
      et7=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText7);
      et8=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText8);
      et9=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText9);
      spinner1=(Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
      add=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
      country=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView11);

      ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
              this, R.array.country_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
      adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
      spinner1.setAdapter(adapter);


         add.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

                                  });

                                alertDialog.show();


                    }
                }

             });   


    }

    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
            long arg3) {
        country.setText(country_array[arg2]);
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        country.setText("");

    }

}

Now,in the method to retrieve the value of spinner I am getting this error that "country_array cannot be resolved to a variable." Please help me out here.Thanks in advance.

Hope this can help you.

Resources res = getResources();
String[] country_array = res.getStringArray(R.array.country_array);
.....    
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
        long arg3) {
    country.setText(country_array[arg2]);

}

Declare country_array in your activity:

AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener{

EditText et1,et2,et3,et4,et5,et6,et7,et8,et9;
Spinner spinner1;
