One spinner showing correctly a default value and the other not

I have got two spinners that receive a default value as a variable from another view. The first one is working fine but the second one not (it shows position 0 as the default value). Here is my code:
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.lista_origen);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(Main2Activity.this,
R.array.l_source, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
spinner.setSelection(adapter.getPosition(l_source));
Spinner spinner2 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.lista_destino);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter2 = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(Main2Activity.this,
R.array.l_source, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter2.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner2.setAdapter(adapter2);
spinner2.setSelection(adapter2.getPosition(l_target));
l_target and l_source are the variables and they are correctly sent from the previous view to this one.
I would be grateful if you could find what and why is failing.
Thank you for your time.

Set position of spinner from variable

I have an activity that recieves two variables called l_source and l_destination and I want to set the default values of two spinners equal to those variables. To do so, I have made a search and I understand that I need to get the position of the value of the variable (will give a number) and then set the new position of the spinner. The problem is that I am trying to use getAdapterPosition and I am sent Cannot resolve method getAdapterPosition(l_source).
EDIT
I finally managed to do it, but it is only working in one spinner. Have you got any idea of why? Here is my code:
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.lista_origen);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(Main2Activity.this,
R.array.l_source, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
spinner.setSelection(adapter.getPosition(l_source));
Spinner spinner2 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.lista_destino);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter2 = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(Main2Activity.this,
R.array.l_source, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter2.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner2.setAdapter(adapter2);
spinner2.setSelection(adapter2.getPosition(l_target));
Thank you for your time.

org_type = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.Updatesp_sign_up_manf_org_type);

dynamically fill spinner based on selection in another spinner

Im filling two spinners with text arrays from an xml resource file. depending on the selection in one spinner i want to fill the other with one of two different arrays from the xml resource file. im having trouble doing this in mono for android and cant find any examples online. please help

try this...
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int pos, long id) {
if(pos==0){
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this,
R.array.arrayone, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
}
else{
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this,
R.array.arraytwo, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
}
}

your suggestion was a big help. With some changes, here is what worked for me in mono for android:
I have a spinner name spin3. You can select opt1 or opt2. There is a string array in the resources named opt1 and another named opt2. Then a second spinner (spinner4) changes its content to opt1 or opt2 based on what is selected in spin3.
public void spin3_onItemSelected(object sender, AdapterView.ItemSelectedEventArgs e)
{
Spinner spin = (Spinner)sender;
string pos = spin.SelectedItem.ToString();
if(pos=="opt1")
{
Spinner spinner = (Spinner)FindViewById(Resource.Id.spinner4);
ArrayAdapter adapter = ArrayAdapter.CreateFromResource this, Resource.Array.opt1, Android.Resource.Layout.SimpleSpinnerItem);
adapter.SetDropDownViewResource(Android.Resource.Layout.SimpleSpinnerDropDownItem);
spinner.Adapter = adapter;
}
else
{
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) FindViewById(Resource.Id.spinner4);
ArrayAdapter adapter = ArrayAdapter.CreateFromResource(this, Resource.Array.opt2, Android.Resource.Layout.SimpleSpinnerItem);
adapter.SetDropDownViewResource(Android.Resource.Layout.SimpleSpinnerDropDownItem);
spinner.Adapter = adapter;
}
}
Then to call the event use this
spin3.ItemSelected += new EventHandler<AdapterView.ItemSelectedEventArgs>(spin3_onItemSelected);

Spinner onClick items

i have created a spinner.could i place my spinner items in a table into my java file and call it (maybe from position) in one onClick method?
code:
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
this, R.array.epilogis, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
here i m getting the spinner items from the string.xml..

i think this is what you are looking for:
array_spinner=new String[5];
array_spinner[0]="1";
array_spinner[1]="2";
array_spinner[2]="3";
array_spinner[3]="4";
array_spinner[4]="5";
Spinner s = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, array_spinner);
s.setAdapter(adapter);
