Here is an example:

 private void FillCitySnipper() {
ArrayList<MyCity> ListOfCity=db.LoadMyCity();
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            if (ListOfCity.size() > 0) {
                Spinner spinner = (Spinner) this
                        .findViewById(R.id.spnr_Cityname);
                ArrayAdapter<MyCity> spinnerArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<MyCity>(
                        this,
                        android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item,
                        ListOfCity);
                spinner.setAdapter(spinnerArrayAdapter);
            }
    }
