I have this code:

```
public class SentSMSActivity extends Activity {

    private Button btnSend;
    private EditText etPlain, etCipher, etDest, key2;
    private String plaintext, tempCipher = null, ciphertext = "";
    private int keyRF, keyCaesar;
    private CheckBox cbEncrypt;
    private String dest, msgSend;
    private Spinner sp;
    private String numbers[];
    private ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.sentsms_activity);
        btnSend = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSent);
        etPlain = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etPlainSent);
        etDest = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etDestSent);
        key2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etKey2Sent);
        cbEncrypt = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.cbEnc);
        sp = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spKey1);
        //      String numbers[] = { "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9",
        //              "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19",
        //              "20", "21", "22", "23", "24", "25" };

        key2.setEnabled(false);
        keyRF = 2;

        final TextWatcher textWatcher = new TextWatcher() {

            @Override
            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i,
                    int i1, int i2) {
            }

            @Override
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1,
                    int i2) {
            }

            @Override
            public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {

                for (int k = 0; k < etPlain.length() - 1; k++) {
                    numbers[k] = String.valueOf(k);
                }
            }
        };

        //third, we must add the textWatcher to our EditText

        sp.setClickable(false);
        cbEncrypt
                .setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView,
                            boolean isChecked) {
                        if (cbEncrypt.isChecked()) {
                            key2.setEnabled(true);
                            sp.setClickable(true);
                            etPlain.addTextChangedListener(textWatcher);
                            adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
                                    SentSMSActivity.this,
                                    android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,
                                    numbers);
                            adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
                            sp.setAdapter(adapter);
                        } else {
                            key2.setText("");
                            key2.setEnabled(false);
                            sp.setClickable(false);
                        }
                    }
                });
    }
}

```

Which is supposed to make a spinner with numbers from the `edittext` string, however when run it give an error like this:

```

I'm very confused with the error and have been trying to solve it for 3 hours with no progress, so I hope some members can give me a solution.  

***Problem: spinner with numbers item from the edittext string length***

**Answer thanks to user vetal-lebed:**

```
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
private ArrayList <String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
private EditText et;
private Spinner spinner;
private ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    spinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner);
    et = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.et);
    et.addTextChangedListener(watcher);
    adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(MyActivity.this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, list);
    adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
    spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
}

private TextWatcher watcher = new TextWatcher() {
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {}
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {}

    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
        for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i ++){
            list.add(String.valueOf(s.charAt(i)));
            adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        }
    }
};

```

}

and thanks to other member aswell
