Answer 1

If it is really C# you are talking about, then you probably mean a ComboBox?

This is how to get the value in a short example:

DataTable dataTable = new DataTable("Country");
dataTable.Columns.Add("Id");
dataTable.Columns.Add("Name");
dataTable.Rows.Add(45, "Denmark");
dataTable.Rows.Add(63, "Philippines");

comboBox1.DataSource = dataTable;
comboBox1.DisplayMember = "Name";
comboBox1.ValueMember = "Id";

comboBox1.SelectedIndex = 1;
comboBox1.Refresh();

DataRow selectedDataRow = ((DataRowView)comboBox1.SelectedItem).Row;
int countryId = Convert.ToInt32(selectedDataRow["Id"]);
string countryName = selectedDataRow["Name"].ToString();

int selectedValue = Convert.ToInt32(comboBox1.SelectedValue);

For Android-Spinner, this is how:

Use the Spinner.getSelectedItem() method to get the currently selected item:

Spinner mySpinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner);
String Text = mySpinner.getSelectedItem().toString();

In this case, the Spinner was filled with Strings.

Answer 2

You can use:

Spinner spinner= (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.your_spinner);
String item = (String) spinner.getItemAtPosition(spinner.getSelectedItemPosition());

It will get the item as a string of the selected position of a spinner.You can also find that item as an object,if that is the requirement for you then see:
