title: how to implement add item in spinner array adapter in android
body: <p>i had a EditText , a button and a spinner . When click the button , the spinner will add a new item with name you entered in the EditText. But here is the question, my adapter.add() method seems doesn't work...here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  bt1 = (Button)this.findViewById(R.id.AddBtn);
              et = (EditText)this.findViewById(R.id.newSpinnerItemText);  
              spinner = (Spinner)this.findViewById(R.id.dynamicSpinner);
  
              adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
                      this, R.array.simple_from_length, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
  
              adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
  
              spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
  
              bt1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
  
                  @Override
                  public void onClick(View v) {
                      String temp = et.getText().toString();
  
                      adapter.add(temp);
                  //    adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                      spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
  
                  }
              });
