Dynamic change the content of Spinner

In the last post Apply List to Spinner, the content of Spinner is come from a List. We can change the List programmatically, to change the content of the Spinner, then call notifyDataSetChanged() of the ArrayAdapter to update the Spinner.

It's a example modify from the last post. There are two Spinner. When the Move button clicked, the current item of Spinner1 will be moved to Spinner2.

package com.AndroidListSpinner;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Spinner;

public class AndroidListSpinnerActivity extends Activity {

Button btnMove;
Spinner MySpinner1, MySpinner2;
List<String> myList1, myList2;
private ArrayAdapter<String> myAdapter1, myAdapter2;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
btnMove = (Button)findViewById(R.id.move);
MySpinner1 = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.myspinner1);
MySpinner2 = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.myspinner2);

initList();
myAdapter1 = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, myList1);
myAdapter1.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
MySpinner1.setAdapter(myAdapter1);

myAdapter2 = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, myList2);
myAdapter2.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
MySpinner2.setAdapter(myAdapter2);

btnMove.setOnClickListener(MoveOnClickListener);
}

Button.OnClickListener MoveOnClickListener
= new Button.OnClickListener(){

@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
int pos = MySpinner1.getSelectedItemPosition();

if(pos != AdapterView.INVALID_POSITION){
myList2.add(myList1.get(pos));
myList1.remove(pos);
myAdapter1.notifyDataSetChanged();
myAdapter2.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}};

void initList(){
myList1 = new ArrayList<String>();
myList1.add("Sunday");
myList1.add("Monday");
myList1.add("Tuesday");
myList1.add("Wednesday");
