下面是如何做到这一点，如果你使用SimpleCursorAdapter(其中columnName是你用来填充你的spinner的db列的名称):

private int getIndex(Spinner spinner, String columnName, String searchString) {

    //Log.d(LOG_TAG, "getIndex(" + searchString + ")");

    if (searchString == null || spinner.getCount() == 0) {

        return -1; // Not found
    }
    else {

        Cursor cursor = (Cursor)spinner.getItemAtPosition(0);

        int initialCursorPos = cursor.getPosition(); //  Remember for later

        int index = -1; // Not found
        for (int i = 0; i < spinner.getCount(); i++) {

            cursor.moveToPosition(i);
            String itemText = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(columnName));

            if (itemText.equals(searchString)) {
                index = i; // Found!
                break;
            }
        }

        cursor.moveToPosition(initialCursorPos); // Leave cursor as we found it.

        return index;
    }
}

同样(对Akhil的回答进行了细化)，如果你从数组中填充你的Spinner，这是相应的方法:

private int getIndex(Spinner spinner, String searchString) {

    if (searchString == null || spinner.getCount() == 0) {

        return -1; // Not found

    }
    else {

        for (int i = 0; i < spinner.getCount(); i++) {
            if (spinner.getItemAtPosition(i).toString().equals(searchString)) {
                return i; // Found!
            }
        }

        return -1; // Not found
    }
};

I had the same issue when trying to select the correct item in a spinner populated using a cursorLoader. I retrieved the id of the item I wanted to select first from table 1 and then used a CursorLoader to populate the spinner. In the onLoadFinished I cycled through the cursor populating the spinner's adapter until I found the item that matched the id I already had. Then assigned the row number of the cursor to the spinner's selected position. It would be nice to have a similar function to pass in the id of the value you wish to select in the spinner when populating details on a form containing saved spinner results.

@Override
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> loader, Cursor cursor) {  
  adapter.swapCursor(cursor);

  cursor.moveToFirst();

 int row_count = 0;

 int spinner_row = 0;

  while (spinner_row < 0 || row_count < cursor.getCount()){ // loop until end of cursor or the 
                                                             // ID is found 

    int cursorItemID = bCursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(someTable.COLUMN_ID));

    if (knownID==cursorItemID){
    spinner_row  = row_count;  //set the spinner row value to the same value as the cursor row 

    }
cursor.moveToNext();

row_count++;

  }

}

spinner.setSelection(spinner_row ); //set the selected item in the spinner

}

如果你使用字符串数组，这是最好的方法:

int selectionPosition= adapter.getPosition("YOUR_VALUE");
spinner.setSelection(selectionPosition);

我在Spinners中保留了一个单独的数组列表。这样我就可以在数组列表上执行indexOf，然后使用该值在Spinner中设置选择。

我正在使用一个自定义适配器，这段代码就足够了:

yourSpinner.setSelection(arrayAdapter.getPosition("Your Desired Text"));

所以，你的代码片段将是这样的:

void setSpinner(String value)
    {
         yourSpinner.setSelection(arrayAdapter.getPosition(value));
    }

非常简单，只需使用getSelectedItem();

eg :

ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> type=ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this,R.array.admin_typee,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        type.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        mainType.setAdapter(type);

String group=mainType.getSelectedItem().toString();

上述方法返回一个字符串值

在上面的R.array。Admin_type是值中的字符串资源文件

只需在值>>字符串中创建一个.xml文件
