Application crash while using spinner - crash

Question

This method is to get the inputs that includes three EditText boxes and one spinner which is populated from string-array.The click of the button is the trigger for undertaking the calculations. While the OnClick method is pressed the application crashes. The code is as follows
package biz.avksons.siddharth.hydro_basic_calc;

}

I tried to find the NullPointerException error which as per the code suggests that the spinner_select variable is not initialized. My understanding tells me that the spinner_select variable should be initialized every time the method is called.
Request for assistance..Thank You
