                    int c = b;
                    int x = c - 5 ;
                    editText3.setText(name + " you might die in the year" + c + "");
As you can see i have called in editText3 after a selection made by the user but as you can also see that i have defined int c = b . where as the b is the variable used in button click listener . i am also giving the code of button click listener
 button.setOnClickListener(
            new Button.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View view) {
                    String name = editText.getText().toString();
                    if (yes.isChecked()) {
                        int age = Integer.parseInt(ageText.getText().toString());
                        int c;
                        int b ;
                        int l;
                        l = 80 ;
                        int y ;
                        y = l - age ;
                        c = y - 7;
                        final int z;
                        b = 2016 + c;
                        editText3.setText((name + " you might die in the year" + b) + "");
                    } else {
                        if (no.isChecked()) {
                            int age = Integer.parseInt(ageText.getText().toString());
                            int c;
                            int b;
                            int l;
                            l = 80;
                            int y;
                            y = l - age;
                            c = y + 10;
                            b = 2016 + c;
                            editText3.setText((name + "you might die in the year" + b) + "");
                        }
                    }
                }
            });
now in this button you can see that the ultimate result was b . now i want to use the int value of b in spinner . i.e. the spinner would add or decrease the value of the variable b on selection from the user .
