Thanks for your elaborate answer. My code to get the selected item now looks like this:
Java.Lang.Object o = spinner.SelectedItem; string s = o.ToString(); o.Dispose(); Think this is the best was to do. For more complex list items I am already deriving from BaseAdapter. I will continue to use the ArrayAdapter only for simple types.
