Error setOnItemClickListener cannot be used with a spinner

Question

I am trying to use setOnItemClickListener on the spinner. 

Here is my code:

@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View v, int index, long arg3) {
    if (quantity[index]=="Meter" ){
        s1="Meter";
        Toast.makeText(v.getContext(), "convert from meter",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    } 
}

   });

convertto.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener()
{
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg, View v1, int index1, long arg4)
    {
        if ((quantity[index1]=="Meter") && (s1.equalsIgnoreCase("Meter")))
        {
            Toast.makeText(v1.getContext(), " to meter",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            var2=var1;
            lresult.setText("" + var2);
        }
    }      
});

}

}

and here is the errors i get

Hello @kartik,

See the first line of your logcat:

java.lang.RuntimeException: setOnItemClickListener cannot be used with a spinner.

setOnItemClickListener cannot be used with a Spinner. Use setOnItemSelectedListener instead.

Hope this help!!

Thank You!!
