Tabs & Dropdown lists

[Rowse]

I have an app with 3 tabs, on each tab i have 2 dropdowns which i can select.
When i press a button on tab 3 to show me what was selected in the dropdowns on the other 2 tabs, all i get is the first one in the list.

How do you get the selected dropdown from another tab?

I've tried:

final View newFileDialogInflated = View.inflate(this, R.layout.profile_page, null);
//quality

//calc
final Spinner type = (Spinner) this.findViewById(R.id.Type);
editor.putString("Type",String.valueOf(type.getSelectedItem()));

Any suggestions how to get it working?

have listeners for text changes which write to shared preferences or something of that sort which then the tab host can see.

I was trying that last night, but had no success detecting when a dropdown changed selection, will have to look and try again
