title: How to get item selected in Spinner to use it as string?
body: <p>Just looking to see if I can find out how i get the item selected in the spinner and store it in a string, i have seen the other posts about this and people say to put this line into code: 
  (Beneath the last line of the code i posted below)</p>
  
  <pre><code>String Genders = Gender.getSelectedItem().toString();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I try but it gives me a red line underneath (getselecteditem()) - saying spinner does not contain a definition for getselecteditem()</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  Spinner Gender;
    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
      {
          base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
          SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Form);
  
          var Genders = new String[]
          {
              "Male", "Female"
          };
          BaseMale = 2000;
          Gender = FindViewById&lt;Spinner&gt;(Resource.Id.spinner1);
          Gender.Adapter = new ArrayAdapter&lt;string&gt;(this, Android.Resource.Layout.SimpleSpinnerDropDownItem, Genders);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Would really appreciate any of your help! :)</p>
