Read the links. They both give you full examples of how to put your options into an XML file and make a Spinner with them.

@Ryano121 i looked at the first link and i did what it said, i do have one error though. for number four, on the line that starts
this, R.array.planet_arrayetc, i made array a field in R, but there is now an error with planet_array. if i take away that field, array has an error. both errors say it is not a field.

You completly miss the concepts here
Java is Java and JComboBox are part of the standard Java API
Eclipse is just a fancy editor to write Java code

*Moved to Android*
It's not about the IDE, Eclipse, as pbl said. A JComboBox is a Swing Component- the standard Java GUI library. Android uses its own GUI library, so you will have to use Spinners as Ryano121 suggested.
