Simplistic instructions from Spinner Selection to a Linear I

I know there are multiple snippets of information about multiple Spinner activities, but I hope mines will be a bit more simplistic in nature.

What I am trying to do is give a user a selection of planets by means of a Spinner interface. When user chooses said planet, they will be directed to a linear layout embedded with the planet's image. [Spinner -> Spinner Array -> Spinner Selection -> Image]

Here's my java:

package com.test.screen;
 
import android.app.Activity;
 
import android.os.Bundle;
 
import android.view.View;
 
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
 
import android.widget.Button;
 
import android.widget.Spinner;
 
public class screen2 extends Activity
 
{
 
   @Override
 
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
 
   {
 
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 
      setContentView(R.layout.screen2);
 
     //Begin Spinner Function
 
      Spinner s = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
 
      ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
 
        this, R.array.planets, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
 
      adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
 
        s.setAdapter(adapter);
 
 //New Stuff: Put activity to do when something is selected.
 
      s.setOnItemSelectedListener(
 
        new OnItemSelectedListener(){                                                     
 
        public void onItemSelected(                                                                      
 
       AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) {      
 
      //How to refer to selected item. 
 
      String selectedItemString = parent.getSelectedItem(); 
 
       }

I appreciate any help that can be offered. It goes without saying I am new, but I humbly ask upon the help of the java/Android gurus.
