if i used this code,

int pos = solo.getCurrentSpinners().get(0).getSelectedItemPosition();

getting error,

cannot resolve symbol getCurrentSpinner

Answer 1

Try using the following codes for working with Spinners and this is what worked for me

solo.pressSpinnerItem(0, -5);     //selects the item in the spinner

Or

solo.isSpinnerTextSelected(0,"Items")    //checks whether the spinner item is selected
