[Q] How do I filter a retrieve data in Spinner? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new to android,stuck in this part of my code.
I do hope, someone would help me with it.
As ,I've stuck for quite a while and have to complete within 2 days,
If I would like to filter in spinner based on the dates, how should I do it? For example,
I've a list of events, and in my spinner
when I select "Today", it will show out the list for today.
I've tried out the coding, however, I met some error. The part in BOLD, ** is having error.
I would like to get the XML data from here:
